Control arcade machine

[Javier Sola]

Hello,

I want to know if this product is capable to simulate keypressing on a keyboard into a arcade or pinball machine.

The environment is as following:

The user is stand or sitted in front of a Cabinet , two steps aside from the screen , he is not touching the machine (imagine a pinball machine or arcade machine).

The user is simulating with the left hand that is using a stick and with the right hand is pressing buttons, at least 4 button.
Or the user is with the hands simulating that is launching a ball (plunger) of a pinball, and pressing a button on the front (start, 1 player, 2 player) or is with the two hands playing a pinball.

if is affirmative, is very hard to detect different players, is necessary to calibrate each player...?

think is a very good idea for everyone.

if is possible I want to hire a developer....

Thanks in advance.

We do not currently have multidevice support, so I'm not confident that the multiplayer part of your vision could be executed in the exact way that you're describing here. It is also worth noting that the Leap Motion Controller is not designed to replace the mouse or keyboard, it's designed to augment the computing or gaming experience in different ways, spatially.

However, I do think that using some combination of our Unity assets, a game akin to what you're describing is possible.

Karem, first of all give you thanks for your answer.

Luckily, I only need one player, because I want to develop a pinball and is for one player.

Is possible that one player, using their hands will be detected and simulate the behaviour of play pinball ? ( launch the ball , press lateral flippers, move the machine, start the game, etc.)

Other question is if one player cames, the system can automatically detect their hands without calibration?, or is necessary to calibrate before use the machine or play.

Even with a negative answer I will buy a device to try to get this in use....

.

Thanks in Advance.

A calibration shouldn't be required with each new user. Good luck with your project; keep us posted
