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.

We at Thomas Street have been eyeing the Oculus Rift for quite some time, paying particular attention to demos featuring novel interfaces. Some of the challenges made some of our original ideas impossible – for example, we weren’t able to use WebVR+Three.js Leap Motion UI summary. for easy distribution like we had hoped.

Unity Widgets are back – with a new name and massively streamlined functionality! Just released for our Unity Core Assets , the UI Input Module provides a simplified interface for physically interacting with World Space Canvases within Unity’s UI System. This utility is used in each of our example Widgets. What’s Inside?

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. Experimenting with different force-feedback haptics inside Unity: rigid object, bendable object, breakable object.

As an optical motion tracking platform , the Leap Motion Controller is fundamentally different from handheld controllers in many ways. Your VR demo needs to include safe poses and zones to allow users to comfortably move their hands around without interacting. The Midas Touch. Dynamic visual feedback is also essential.

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. So I switched to the Leap Motion Controller and quickly got my hands in my application.
