In Unity, for instance, one approach is to set the camera’s near clip plane to be roughly 10 cm out. While the Leap Motion Controller can track more than 2 feet away, the “sweet spot” for tracking is roughly 1 foot from the device. For example, the Oculus Rift DK2 recommends a minimum range of 75 cm. Further Reading.
