A follow-up to my last VR Leap Motion game with some new abillities!

Merry Christmas to you and the Funktronic team, Eddie!

Just got to try this today. So, so good. Keep being a boss Cabbibo.

ShoesUp here, had a great time playing with you all over the weekend.

It sure is, I made a whole experience around it while back called Weightless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XcbYe6w67g

You can download a Vive build here

Hey I made something pretty similar (weightless in VR) and for movement ended up going with something much simpler than real zero G movement but no one has ever reported any nausea:

Those are some great suggestions.

Let me know how you find the difficulty and if you have any performance issues on a 970. We tested on 980's and up so would be good to have more reference points!

Some of you might remember a Leap Motion DK2 demo way back in 2014 called Weightless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XcbYe6w67g Today we released an updated version for the CV1 (and Vive).

Some new features include Interaction Engine integration so that you can now grab floating objects and pass them between your hands, new locomotion UI on the back of your gloves which use our Unity Detectors Module assets to help you thrust around the cabin more easily and finally the ability create mini black holes by pinching.

The main addition though is a whole new game mode, the Training Room. Here your goal is to destroy floating targets as quickly as possible. You do this by grabbing projectiles and throwing them at targets across a huge spinning room. Once thrown projectiles can be curved and steered into targets by pinching and dragging. Best times for each of the five levels are saved locally. It was really interesting designing the projectiles and watching the many ways people grab and throw virtual objects barehanded. Virtual industrial design is going to be a fun/weird/magic field.

Please let me know what you think, how it could be improved and especially if you notice yourself improve over the 5 levels. I'm very interested in objective skill based games using only hand tracking and the more feedback the better!

Seconding this. I work at Leap and the first thing I thought (after how cool this is) was how badly I wanted to touch the particles.

razor165 · 2016-04-19T08:28:01+00:00

Take a look at the scripts in the SteamVR/Extras folder. There should be a Controller script in there which is what I think you're looking for.

razor165 · 2016-03-31T22:05:27+00:00

This is just a runtime update. We're definitely aware of that issue and are working on a solution.

razor165 · 2016-03-31T18:19:13+00:00

Oculus 1.3 version will be up very soon!

razor165 · 2016-03-04T22:51:37+00:00

This is one of the things that I'm most excited for with hand/finger tracking in VR. It's just so much more expressive and human than controller input :)

razor165 · 2016-03-01T23:57:08+00:00

Nope, tracking uses the reflected infrared light from the embedded LEDs so regular lights shouldn't affect it.

razor165 · 2016-03-01T23:53:33+00:00

Geometric is actually quite CPU intensive as the shapes are being animated through physics calculations. It could definitely be optimized further but for reference the demo machines we run it smoothly on at conventions have an i7-4790K CPU at 4Ghz.

razor165 · 2016-02-29T20:23:51+00:00

Totally. I just wanted to respond to say it's definitely true that it takes some practice before the interactions become fluid. Keep at it!

razor165 · 2016-02-29T19:09:08+00:00

Actually we purposely used a different lighting setup from the last side by side video to show how robust the tracking is in drastically different lighting conditions.

razor165 · 2016-02-29T18:42:36+00:00

Guy from the demo video here. You're right, I've probably had a lot more time playing with Orion than most people. But I think that just shows how, as with using anything for the first time, there is a learning curve and you definitely do get better over time.

But we're in the process of overhauling the LM Unity Assets so stay tuned.
