Getting hands on with VR
summary
Leap Motion demonstrates hand-and-finger tracking that matches real motion using inexpensive embedded sensors: tiny VGA infrared cameras, a prototype strip that fits inside headsets, and software trained on 70,000+ grasps. System runs at 120 FPS with <5 ms latency, works in bright or dark conditions, and integrates with Oculus/Gear VR via a $79 dev kit today while aiming for built‑in mobile/all‑in‑one headsets later this year. Focus is pure hand tracking — not room scanning — plus SDK primitives for menus and physical grab metaphors.
