I've tried several Leap apps that say they are compatible with the Oculus, but none of them worked.
I have both CV1 and DK2. How to I hook it up?

Hi @gooden_shelley - what version of the oculus run time are you using and which version of the leap SDK is installed?

gooden_shelley 2016-06-23 20:36:34 UTC #3

I'm on Oculus 1.4.0 and Leap 3.1.3 for Windows.

What apps are giving you issues specifically? What happens when you try running them? Are you getting images displayed in your headset or is the hand tracking not working for you?

I've tried Collider and Blocks, but there's no output to the headset.

There should be multiple executables for Blocks. One is for the older Oculus runtime (.8 I believe) and the other is for the latest runtime. Could you try the newer one to see if it outputs correctly?

Also, check your Oculus settings to make sure that "Unknown Sources" is enabled. Otherwise, I believe, you will only be able to run apps from the Oculus Store.

Yes, I did have unknown sources on.

It worked for Blocks. Thanks!
Collider and Licht Little Adventure don't connect to the Oculus.

I don't believe Collider was ever updated to support the latest Oculus runtime. The app page on the gallery lists a requirement of the .5 Oculus software. The various subsequent releases changed so much that it isn't supported anymore.

The same may be true for Licht Little Advanture.

This used to be the case for Blocks until our team released an updated version that supports the latest runtime.

The same is definitely true for LICHT. That was an extremely early example, way back in the DK1 days.

Alright. Thanks, guys!

Somehow I dont get Blocks to the Rift CV1 - I always end up at the Oculus environment once I put it on my head.
Unknown sources is ON, but this doent help. Once I have started Blocks the leap motion device works fine and I see everything on my monitor but not on my rift. When Blocks asks me for the resolution I use 2160 x 1200 - I have tried others and disable windowed. Doesnt help. When I select monitor there is only display1 available.
What am I doing wrong?

There should be two different folders that you unzipped from the Blocks download. One is for the 0.8 Oculus runtime and the other is for the 1.3. Are you running the newer one?
