Multiple Leap Motion support for VR

[billmccrary]

I also posted a reply here, but maybe better for a new thread.

Trying to get the experimental version (LeapDeveloperKit_4.0.0+52238_win) working with Unity + VR. There is no example scene for VR, only desktop.

I was able to get the desktop version working, and hacked together something in VR that renders but its very unstable and I'm pretty sure I'm not doing something right... I'm trying different things now, but wanted to throw this out there for Leap Motion to jump in and help, or see if anyone else has a smoothly working example of multiple sensors + VR?

Can we please get an official VR demo scene from Leap Motion, that supports 1 head mounted sensor + one desktop mounted sensor working in VR?

Thanks - keep the good stuff coming guys!

Hey Bill,

I would be interested in this as well and will start experimenting on carrying it out and let you know if I make any progress.

Has anyone else tried this and have any insights? Do the Leap Motion guys think this is possible?

This is not currently directly possible with the way that V4 enables the system wide flag. The best method we've found of making this work is forcing the flag to activate Controller.PolicyFlag.POLICY_OPTIMIZE_HMD when the desk-mounted Leap Motion devices can only see one hand or less, and then turning the flag off when the desk ones see both hands.

This means you still get the benefits of having VR-enabled hands (for the headset), but doesn’t cause the issues where desktop Leaps think they’re VR and try to flip the hands (for the desk ones). From this point I would then use a set of physics hands for each of the devices, with a single visual pair of hands.
