One thing with the LEAP is locating the sensor relative to your body, or virtual environment. Imagine the view from the LEAP -- it sees your forearms and hands, say...

So, you should consider how you'll "virtually anchor" the LEAP -- what is it's position relative to, and is it consistent. I think this is an issue even in cases where LEAP is used with a monitor, and might be something they're struggling with before being able to commercialize it.
I see what you mean. Well if those things could be worked out it would in theory at least be a cool way to interact with the virtual environment (while being able to see your arms in real time). Maybe something will come along that can do these things. Until a true VR input device is created hardware like the Rift can only bring us so far into the Virtual World. Here's to hoping it comes along soon! :)
