Newbie here, I'm working on Project where I need to put sword/gun in hand (provided by Leap). How to do that? or How to get position and rotation of Leap hand?

Hi.

The Leap system and Unity system will track your hands. Make sure you have all the components loaded.

But, the API is in beta so updates may break your program.

We have found that it is easier to check to see that object is "in hand" and track the movement of the object, rather than the hand - so the program is less likely to break.

Make sure you thoroughly understand rigidbodies, colliders, triggers and other interactives in Unity before you add the compliction of the Leap Hand tracking.

When you add Leap... make sure you use the Interaction Engine.

Most important
Know what version of Unity and Leap you are in. There are many tutorials for old versions... But 2018 Unity and 4.4 Leap are fundamentally different from older versions....

You can attach gameobject to leap motion joints. There Unity transform will be updated automatically by the SDK and you can track position and rotation of those. Follow this guide: https://leapmotion.github.io/UnityModules/core.html#attaching-objects-to-hand-joints (and I recommend all other pages).

As Hotthands said, make sure you check before if the provided interaction engine doesn't fit your needs first before doing all the hard work of object stabilization etc ... many issues will come down the road, be aware.
