Click To Tweet When someone first puts on a Leap Motion-enabled VR headset, it often seems like they’re rediscovering how to use their own hands. When we bring our hands into a virtual space, we also bring a lifetime’s worth of physical biases with us. From Flat Screens to VR Interfaces. In a sense, they are.
