Leap Motion released gesture recognition system for Oculus Rift

On Habré, more than once and not two wrote about both the gesture control system for the Leap Motion PC and the Oculus Rift, video glasses that allow you to immerse yourself in virtual reality, feeling like a part of some game or movie. But the problem can be called the fact that control the actions of the character in gaming reality, even with the use of Oculus Rift, has the usual joystick / controller. Well, what kind of immersion in virtuality can we talk about if you press buttons to, for example, jump?

Yes, there were some systems such as gloves, or even "lightsabers." But all this can be called "crutches", although, at times, and very perfect.

Now Leap Motion has released a special module for Oculus Rift, which allows you to see your own hands in virtual reality and manage the process (games or workouts) using 3D elements of the virtual interface. In general, immersion in virtual reality is almost complete.

The developer presented a video demonstrating the operation of the Oculus Rift + Leap Motion system, here it is:



Plus a few colorful gifs that demonstrate the capabilities of the system. Gifki "heavy" (each 5MB), so I give them only links, without inserting into the post: one , two .

According to representatives of Leap Motion, management is almost real-time, without delay. Now they plan to involve third-party developers and large technology companies that might be interested in creating games / virtual systems using this original way of management.
