Leap Motion - Need Input
For our current project, we are really interested in getting hands into VR. I really liked the Leap Motion product and was planning to purchase it until the announcement that OVR had purchased Nimble ...
I have not found anything yet, but it would be awesome to have some sort of example level.
As a side note: I just hired a programmer to help write a plugin for Unreal 4(and yes that is me in the Unreal Forums;O), that even though it is for my person VR Input solution, it is based on Arduino Hardware, so the "Plugin" should also work for any Arduino based Hardware, or anything that writes and reads values from a Serial Port. This is related to the Leap because I am planning on the Leap taking care of hand tracking even while I am holding my VRgun, and through blueprint interacting with my plugin and the Leap Plugin, so the two complement each other, essentially give Leap access to an IMU that either hand can hold and use, helping keep track of the hand orientation... anyway I am hoping this will spur others to create their own VR Input solutions.
