Unity C# 3D: Can't map Leap Motion coordinates to Unity coordinates

[JoshLeapAhead]

I am trying to map the leap motion coordinates to the coordinates used in Unity, the code i'm am using is from the Leap Motion API and is shown below. It is contained in the void Update.

    Frame frame = controller.Frame();
    FingerList fingers = frame.Fingers;
    for (int i = 0; i < fingers.Count; i++)
    {
        Finger finger = fingers[i];
        Vector position = finger.TipPosition;
        Vector3 convertedPosition = position.ToUnity(false);
        Debug.Log(convertedPosition);
    }

The code should output the coordinates of the tip of the furthest foward finger to the console (so if the finger tip was to be held at the Unity coordinate of (0, 0, 0), the coordinate of my 'convertedPosition' variable should then also be (0, 0, 0)) However, the coordinates do not even slight match.

Does anyone know why? Apologies if this is a really simple task to solve, I am still getting to grips with this.

How do you know your physical finger is at Unity coordinates (0, 0, 0)? Where is your physical finger in relation to the Leap Motion device at this time?

I created a 3D cube and set its transform.position to be (0, 0, 0), then I move the fingertip to where the cube is and the coordinates shown in the console were way off

Can you show me the code used to position the finger tip?

[JoshLeapAhead]

All I do is I start debugging, see when the cube is (because that's at (0, 0, 0)) and I move the finger to the cube's location, if that's what you mean, (picture below) I don't use any code to set the default starting position of the fingertip to the origin.

But here's all the code from the script I'm using just in case I haven't explained things well:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Leap;

public class Initialization : MonoBehaviour {    
    void Start () {
}
Void Update () {
    Controller controller = new Controller();
    Frame frame = controller.Frame();
    HandList hands = frame.Hands;
    FingerList fingers = frame.Fingers;

    for (int i = 0; i < fingers.Count; i++)
    {
    Hand hand = hands[i];
    PointableList pointables = hand.Pointables;
    Pointable pointable = hand.Pointables.Frontmost;
    float distance = pointable.TouchDistance;
    Vector stabilizedPosition = pointable.StabilizedTipPosition;

    Finger finger = fingers[i];
    Vector position = finger.TipPosition;
    Vector3 unityPosition = position.ToUnity(false);
    Debug.Log(unityPosition);
    }
    }
 }

Since you are getting frame information directly from Leap.Controller, I wasn't sure whether you were using the Unity Assets or were drawing your own hand model.

The Leap Motion core assets put the origin used for the hand at the HandController GameObject not Unity (0,0,0).
