In 2018, Leap Motion introduced Project North Star as an open-source, 3D-printable AR headset system with an unprecedented degree of fluid, natural, intuitive interaction; and the optical system could be built at a cost of around US$100. The issue, though, is that building this system at such a cost was beyond the capabilities of almost any member of the maker/DIY or research communities.
So, for the past 2 years, we’ve been sourcing, manufacturing, engineering, and 3D-printing Project North Star parts and/or headsets to make it possible for as many people as possible to keep building and developing their Project North Star works. Our latest 3D-printed headset is the Deck X: a modified version of the Project North Star v3.2, with a custom-built hub system and programmable buttons.
