Leap Motion Unity Development 101

[alexcolgan]

Last week, I published an overview on the Leap Motion Unity Core Assets and Modules, and figured this would be a good place to share it.

Using these assets, you can start building right away with features like custom-designed hands, user interfaces, and event triggers. Each Module is designed to unlock new capabilities in your VR project, and work with others for more advanced combinations.

The post is here: http://blog.leapmotion.com/unity-core-assets-101-start-building-vr-project/

I'd love to know what you think, and what kinds of modules and features you'd like to see next!

I'm not sure that I like the sound of custom designing of hands feature.

What if I showed this tech off to my girlfriend... and the first thing she says is 'that's nice Warbloke, but can you make its fingers bigger?'

Id feel inadequate somehow and sad... and this tech should be all about joy and awesomeness.

Donald Trump, is that you?

Will you add functionality to take over control of a mechanim avatar hand rig?

At the moment I can use Motion Controllers to move hands around, but Leap has finger level controls, which I'd love to incorporate.

Cheers!

This is some seriously futuristic shizzle!

@pjenness What if we did, and it took a minute or less to implement? 😄

Has this been incorporated into any apps / games yet?

I would love to see this type of stuff in an actual game; https://www.wearvr.com/apps/rainbow-jellies the video shows vive wands, but I use leap motion and it's really cool!

@andyring Blocks, Sightline: The Chair, AltspaceVR, and FlyInside are a few apps that have Leap Motion integration. More here: https://developer.leapmotion.com/gallery/tags/oculus-rift/dependencies/oculus-1-3/order/popularity
