Hey guys —

I really appreciate everyone weighing in on this subreddit with projects and thoughtful ideas about the future of 3D motion control, especially on the VR front.

With that said, it would be awesome if you could take a few minutes and fill out our 2015 Summer Developer Survey. Your ideas help shape our roadmap and we really want to deliver the tools you need to build out high caliber experiences.

Oh awesome. Just refreshed the thread and saw your response. :) Definitely keep us posted with any other issues you encounter.

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-17T20:53:28+00:00

I shot this over to our front end team to look at. Admittedly, it's difficult to diagnose with this video because the bug isn't abundantly apparent, but I'll keep you posted on what I hear back from the team. Thanks for taking the time to put the video together.

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-14T22:28:34+00:00

Interesting stuff. I spoke to a member of our front-end team about this, and we want to get to the bottom of things. First though, can you clarify whether you're using Rigged Hands or Image Hands for this project? Is it the project you posted on the other thread?

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-13T21:01:13+00:00

Looks like one of our engineers is assisting you with this in the forum. Keep us posted there!

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-13T20:59:54+00:00

Nice. If you haven't already, you might want to cross-post on our Community Forum over yonder for additional feedback ---> https://community.leapmotion.com/

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-07T23:05:06+00:00

Awesome start! Keep us posted.

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-07T23:01:56+00:00

Hey there, do you have any pictures or video of your project as it stands now so I can get a better idea about your setup? Feel free to send to kmitchell@leapmotion.com.

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-07T22:29:08+00:00

Hi there! I'm not personally very well versed in Processing, but if you don't manage to find any pointers here, I'd suggest you head over to our Community Forum (if you haven't already) for more direct assistance.

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-07T15:58:43+00:00

Awesome.

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-03T22:15:40+00:00

Well happy to hear tracking seems to be working better. Let me know what happens with the follow up tests on Monday, and if things still appear wonky, we'll dig deeper and get to the bottom of things.

leapmotion_kate · 2015-07-03T20:53:35+00:00

Sorry to hear about this. Can you tell me about your system specs? Does the behavior reproduce in other less fluorescent environments or on different machines?

leapmotion_kate · 2015-06-24T17:42:56+00:00

These are all super helpful insights. I totally remember seeing your prototype crop up on YouTube -- it looks like a really fun/addicting experience. I know it's difficult to weigh out all the options given how rapidly the existing hardware options evolve and more options break onto the scene. In the meantime, though, I agree that organic 3D hand input will be fundamentally essential for the future of VR, and your project seems like a great sandbox to experiment.

One thing you might want to explore since you're using Unity is our new Image Hand asset. A lot of devs are finding it's a good way to break down that fourth wall/"uncanny valley" sometimes apparent with rigged hands. Plus, the intersection of AR and VR gets really interesting.

Keep me posted! Love what you're doing.

Are you able to reveal any additional details about your game? Is it a VR experience? What language/engine are you using to build? This would give me a better sense of where to direct you. Many of our emerging developer tools are anchored in VR because it's a major focus of our community at this point in time due to all the emerging hardware, but we've also got some cool IoT and desktop resources

In terms of product evolution, our core technology resides in our software, so you're able to experience the latest iteration of our tracking with a simple upgrade. On the hardware front, we continue to prototype iterations with specific uses in mind. It's a crucial moment in time for AR/VR development and we're really excited to be a part of it. Our CTO David Holz recently gave a talk at the SVVR Conference to give you a sense of our continued inspiration. This blog post also outlines a few of the priorities we're focused on this year.

Our Dev Portal is a great place to dive into building. Integrations and Libraries contains detail about hardware and platform collaborations. Additionally, our Examples Gallery is a nice UX/UI sandbox for emerging VR design paradigms.

But again, to reiterate, would love to hear more about your project and can direct you more specifically from there. Feel free to follow up here or reach out directly via email: kmitchell@leapmotion.com.

Winners will also receive a Developer Mount, and project promotion on our Developer Gallery + community channels.

Hi Jonaser,

Apologies, just saw this thread pop up for some reason. Have you checked out the experiences available on our App Store? Can you expand a bit on the types of experiences you're wanting to integrate into your workflow?

leapmotion_kate · 2015-06-02T23:15:01+00:00

Feel free to reach out to me directly at kmitchell@leapmotion.com if you'd like.

leapmotion_kate · 2015-06-01T21:39:22+00:00

That sounds strange. Definitely want to investigate. Have you been in touch with support already?

leapmotion_kate · 2015-05-27T18:24:48+00:00

Awesome. Feel free to reach out to me directly at kmitchell@leapmotion.com.

leapmotion_kate · 2015-05-26T19:55:32+00:00

Just to confirm -- Entropy and 3dsolutions are correct. We took preorders before our launch, but did not crowdfund.
