Open-source reference design for Leap Motion's Project North Star augmented reality headset, including mechanical CAD, electrical designs, and calibration software. It provides build guides for fabricating an inexpensive AR headset using off-the-shelf and 3D-printed parts with ultra-wide hand tracking.
Use cases
- build my own AR headset
- open source augmented reality hardware design
- calibrate a North Star AR headset
- 3D print AR headset parts
- hand tracking AR prototype
- learn how AR optics and reflectors work
When to choose
- you want to physically build a DIY AR headset with 3D-printed parts
- you need open reference designs for AR optics, displays, and hand-tracking integration
- you are experimenting with AR hardware research or education
When to avoid
- you need a polished consumer AR product or complete AR software stack
- you cannot fabricate custom components like reflectors or display driver boards
- you want a passive software-only library without hardware assembly
