I hoped that the setup of SenseGlove gloves could have been a bit easier , but being a development kit of experimental hardware, it is not strange that it requires some time. As you can see, the hardware setup is not plug and play. What puzzled me is that there is no software setup. Both sensations are very cool when they work.

As we developed demos and prototypes with the Oculus Rift internally, several UX insights sprung forth. When the Leap Motion Controller is mounted on a VR headset, it can see beyond your virtual field of view, but your hands will occasionally fall out of sensor range. Even if some gestures don’t impact the data at all (e.g.

A lot has been going on behind the scenes here at Leap Motion. It’s part hardware, part software, built from the ground up to tackle the unique challenges of hand tracking for VR. Even applications will be faster thanks to a new API that can be used initially in Unity. The beta preview comes with new demos like Blocks.

It looked good on paper, but once I started working with it, I quickly realized that most of my time would be spent just trying to get the device to properly communicate with Unity and pair with the OS rather than having fun making stuff.
