It now supports Oculus Quest, HTC Vive and UltraLeap (former Leap Motion) systems of skeletal hand tracking for interactions based on realistic, and customizable, hand poses. VRTK proposes a simple grab system that can be coupled with the physic engine of Unity to define the desired behavior of the interaction you are creating.

Designed for the Oculus Rift, it’s available free for Mac and Windows on the Leap Motion App Store. Over time, my interest shifted to Unity3D, and now I love to tinker with new hardware like the Leap Motion, Oculus Rift, or Kinect – which led to experiments like Hoverboard VR , Polyrider , and Soundscape VR.

Locomotion is one of the biggest challenges in VR development, with solutions ranging from omni-directional treadmills and Blink , to Superman-like flight in Leap Motion demos like Weightless. ” You’ll also notice that this version includes Image Hands , now available in our Unity Core Assets for Oculus SDK 0.7.

Creating new 3D hand assets for your Leap Motion projects can be a real challenge. This has the powerful benefit of being able to quickly iterate between a modeling package and seeing the models driven by live hand motion in Unity. This contains a Leap VR camera rig: LMHeadMountedRig. Step 2A: Separate FBXs.

Recently, Leap Motion kicked off one of our internal hackathons, where small teams pitch and develop quick demos over the course of two days. The simply titled Swipey Joe McDesktop took the top prize for utility – winning the Throne of Leaps (seen below alongside the Leap Motion Crown). Top image credit: HBO.

At Leap Motion, we’re making VR/AR development easier with Widgets: fundamental UI building blocks for Unity. I defined a few interfaces that we agreed every Widget would have to implement – ones that required definitions for Start, End, and Change events – and added implementations to the existing widgets.

Following up on last week’s release of the Leap Motion Interaction Engine , I’m excited to share Weightless: Remastered , a major update to my project that won second place in the first-ever 3D Jam. Now with our Unity Detectors Scripts , giving users feedback on their current hand pose is extremely simple.

It’s available free for the Oculus Rift on the Leap Motion App Store. I think my background in architecture definitely influences my designs and I’m excited to see how my education can manifest itself in a new medium. These spotlights will focus on game design, interaction design, and the big ideas driving our community forward.

True, the surface inside is definitely magical – we can turn it into any number of configurations depending on our immediate needs – but for the most part the 2D interface is very flat. Paper + AR/VR: Designing the Leap Motion Widgets. Instead, you have to guide users to take certain approaches to the interface.

It’s a definitely challenging part to design. You essentially have two opposing forces: the need to go around the environment and explore, and your stomach pushing its contents upwards the moment you see a motion but don’t feel it.

John Riccitiello -- the CEO of Unity -- was one of the first to point out that there was going to be this great sort of gold rush of people who were going to overhype VR and its potential, and then we're going to see this gap of a disappointment where the early reality didn't match up with the hype and a lot of people were going to bail on it.
