RealMax can mount a Leap Motion device, so you have the power of using naturally your hands to interact with AR elements. I liked it a lot.

The shape of the controllers is slightly different than the one of the Oculus Touch, though, and there is a ring that surrounds the wrist of the user. There is also “finger-tracking” a la Valve Index , but just for the thumb, index, and middle finger (so, it is more a la Oculus Touch). Discover some nice XR storytelling content.

In order for students to think about how to create pieces of music and pieces of software, we enable groups to get together and make music as an ensemble. Using technology like the Leap Motion Controller allows us to use our hands to directly engage virtual instruments, from the plucking of a virtual string to the casting of a sonic fireball.

In the context of motion controls, good affordance is critical, since it is necessary that users interact with objects in the expected manner. With 2D Leap Motion applications, this means adapting traditional UX design principles that condensed around the mouse and keyboard. Limit unintended interactions. Ergonomics.

But what they did was essentially brought two different groups of kids that were 12-to-13-year-old kids, and taught them basic physics, mechanics. So even a week later, after not being reminded the content after they were retested, they outperformed the immediate test scores of the control group. So that is a very surprising finding.
