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. The open-sourced Leap Motion VR Intro uses interactions designed to work seamlessly when your hands are in view – from flying in space to playing with floating spheres.

For this reason, sound is more than just an immersive tool – how (and where) objects around you sound has an enormous effect on your understanding of where they are, especially when you’re not looking at them. If you imagine shuffling the soundtracks in these three examples, you can understand how it would fundamentally change the experience.

In rebuilding our Unity developer toolset from the ground up , we started by rearchitecting the interfaces that receive data from the Leap Motion device. Moving up the tech stack, we then refactored most of the mid-level Unity scripts that pair the Leap hand data with 3D models and manages those representations.

Let me explain this better with an example: if you grab a bottle in real life, your fingers can’t trespass the bottle, because the material of the bottle exerts a force towards your fingers which prevents them to enter.

As a human, you’re not born with an intuitive knowledge of what a teapot does, or how to use it. Luckily, it’s a classic example of affordance. This means that its physical appearance guides how you use it. This is a really simple example, but a powerful one – because affordances are everywhere, and they control your life.

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.
