Hand movement not correctly working with Core Assets or Interaction 101 Examples

Using all the examples in the Core Assets and Interaction 101 Assets my hand movement does not reflect what is on the editor in Unity. They seem to be rotated about 45 degrees everywhere and its pretty hard if not impossible to grab objects, etc. I have cleaned the LM device clear of smudges, checked the LM settings so that the auto-orient is correct, calibrated the device correctly -- still to no avail. Any ideas? Again, these are just the examples and I haven't changed a single line of code. Important to note is that in the Visualizer my hand movement is completely correct. What is is in the examples in Unity?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Is the controller sitting on your desk or mounted on a headset?

Thank you for your response. The controller is sitting on my desk. Thanks again for your reply.

Instead of using the Leap Rig (XR rig) prefab, you need to use the LeapHandController (desktop-mounted controller) prefab. The sample scenes all use the former. More details can be found in our Unity docs: https://leapmotion.github.io/UnityModules/

Huge thanks for your help. I will give it a shot.

Hey Alex. Do I delete the XR rig in the scene with the camera? Then add the LeapHandController pre fab over a new camera? Hmm... this didn't seem to work.

Thank you.

As there is no camera used in the LeapHandController rig. So not sure where to proceed from there. Thank you!

You should be able to add your own camera to the scene so you can film the Controller from whatever perspective you see fit...

The basic setup of a VR-less system is to use a LeapServiceProvider component (not a LeapXRServiceProvider) and a linked Hand Model Manager (with hands underneath it in the hierarchy and registered to it, much like how you see implemented in the prefabs).
You should also remember to disable VR-mode from your player settings (if you’re using a cloned version of UnityModules).

You should then see hands in front of it upon pressing play and holding your hands in front of your Leap peripheral.
