VR with static Leap sensor (using Orion)

[PiMuRho]

I'm working on a simulator setup (non-gaming) where the operator is essentially in a cab and all hand movements are performed in front of them. I've encountered a few issues where a control is out of the Leap sensor's FOV and therefore not tracked.
What I'm trying to find out is how feasible it would be to instead mount the Leap sensor either above the operator area or below, rather than on the HMD itself. Is it just a case of breaking up the LMHeadMountedRig in Unity so that the Leap-specific parts are separate?

Will the sensor be mounted in a fixed location or will it still move with the operator -- just not mounted directly on the HMD?

If the former, you should be able to detach the LeapHandController from the camera and place it in the location of your scene corresponding to the placement of the physical Leap Motion control. Make sure the "Is Head Mounted" mode is switched off.

If the later, you would offset and rotate the LeapHandController to correspond with the offset of the physical device from the center point of user's inter pupillary line segment (the midpoint between their eyes). You would have to experiment whether turning "Is Head Mounted" is better or worse in this setup.

It would be in a fixed location, so that sounds like it makes a lot easier. Thanks for the information - now to build a test setup for it.
