In the process of building applications and various UX experiments at Leap Motion, we’ve come up with a useful set of heuristics to help us critically evaluate our gesture and interaction designs. The team at Leap Motion is constantly working to improve the accuracy and consistency of our tracking technology.

Keep ergonomics and the physical constraints of both technologies in mind. 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. As always, feedback is essential. Think about how to make 3D data accessible.

We all grew tired of talking about how we wanted to explore VR development, so we allocated several weeks to tinkering with the Oculus Rift and Leap Motion — staffing one full-time developer and a few designers part-time. We got things started by downloading the most popular Oculus Rift / Leap Motion demos and giving them a try.
