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. Here are a few tips for developing with the module: Big buttons.

Productivity interactions tend to happen at the tips of our fingers – where there’s enough dexterity for small movements to be precise and expressive, while staying energy-efficient over longer periods of time. This is the core of our mission at Leap Motion. The post Designing Cat Explorer appeared first on Leap Motion Blog.

First, the Leap Motion Controller can provide intuitive hand interactions, but not necessarily intuitive player movement controls. Second, the 3D environment motion flows in immersive VR often cause “simulator sickness” and negative game experience. The Leap Motion assets for Unity are quite convenient and easy to use.

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.
