LeapMotion + AR Marker

[paulfigiel]

Hi !

First of all, good job for the new SDK. It's great to see such improvements just with a software update !

My setup is the following : I have an Oculus Rift with a LEAP mounted on it, hand detection is working great, but I want to detect other real object than my hands.
I want to use the leap motion in combination with an AR library (like Vuforia or similar), and I'm wondering what would be the best approach :

• using the IR camera of the LEAP for the AR detection ( I guess the resolution is not good enough ? )
• using another camera combined to the LEAP to do the AR detection ( doable but heavy )
• we also have an Intel RealSense Camera model D415 ( doing IR and RGB video streams ), maybe it is possible to use it instead of the LEAP, but keep using the Leap SDK on unity ? ( I guess it's against the Terms of use... )
• something else ?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/advice on how to do this !

Option 3 is probably best, and wouldn't be violating our TOS.

Okay cool, is there a way then to directly feed our IR stream to the Leap SDK in Unity ?
Or do we have to go for another approach ?

Sorry, misread your third point. Point 2 would actually be the way to go as our software is tied to our hardware.
