At Leap Motion, we spend a lot of time experimenting with new ways of interacting with technology, and we often run into the same problem. Leap Motion. Our team of five ran with this concept to create AR Screen.

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.
