How to Adjust interaction width in Unity?

hello, is it possible to adjust the monitors width to the leap motion range in Unity? I have a big monitor screen and when I move my real hand from one edge to the other edge of the screen, the virtual hand moves just about the half screen.

I'm not sure what the monitor size has to do with it -- you can display the same scene on different size monitors.

If you are using our hand assets, then you can adjust the position of the HandController object relative to the camera to make the apparent motion of the hand larger or smaller. Otherwise, if you are doing some sort of 2D cursor/pointer, you can use the InteractionBox to normalize the the hand position to maximally fit any rectangular area (this technique doesn't work with the hand assets, though).

Hey, currently I have to use Unity 4.6.6 so some features are not available. But I'm using your HandController assets. When I'm moving my real hand for example 10 cm to the right, I want the virtual hand moving 300 pixels instead of 150 pixels. Is there any way to do this?

Pixels are a funny unit to use in a 3D environment. If you move the hands closer to the camera, then they will move farther in screen space.

Thank you for your reply. I tried to move my hand closer to the camera but in my experimental setup, the leap motion camera needs to stay at a certain place. Isn't there any way to increase the virtual movement distances in the code?

You could modify a hand script (or write your own) so that it behaves the way you want. The V2 Unity Hand scripts did have this feature, so you could look in the old assets for ideas on how to accomplish this.
