Anyone tested leap Motion with BMS?
-
It’s been 40 minutes :nosep:

OK guys here it is. In the mean time I already adjusted the accuracy and it’s smooth as silk… better then sex. :rofl:

I’ve been trying to figure out my mouse input for starup stuff since I’m not going to rebuild my physical switch panels, this should rock!
Do you have a TrackIR too? I see you panning with the Leapmotion, I wonder how well they will play together…
-
I have works just fine as u can see in the vid.

I see that now, at first it looked like you were panning with the Leapmotion, that could be really awesome, an all-in one solution, no external MFDs, ICP, switches, touch screens, etc. Anybody want to buy some lightly used Thrustamster MFDs and a Logitech G13

This was the reason why I was holding and not getting the MFD’s and such… I’ve been waiting for it for more then a year… Glad I did… For now.

How long have you had it? - Any caveats like lighting levels?
mainly negative reviews on here:
-
Just 2 days guys and didn’t had much time to use - test it.
Negatives??? well the app store app that was supposed to make it function as a mouse doesn’t work on my pc. On others works ok. Well it’s still on experimental stage. I just solved it a few hours ago with the free Airkey app and I already use it instead of the mouse… very smooth… I just have to get used to it. Adobe acrobat recognizes it and has better functionality.On my Mac the mouse function is super… but it doesn’t work on the leapmotion apps… most of them require a newer version of MACOS I’m on 10.6.8 and asks for 10.7.0 So I might have to upgrade… or just wait for it.
But my concern was Falcon only since it works as I expected then I’m fine.
My kids loved it and they got used to it right away… and eyeing on it lol…
On the leaving room at noon I had some lighting issues but I closed one window and all fine. No problem with artificial light or afternoon.

Okay thanks - might as well order one

Looks like I’ll be an earlier adopter like I was with the TIR I can see this being just as big.

But wouldn’t your shoulder/arm get tired after prolonged use? I certainly wouldn’t use it for FPS’s .)

wouldn’t if u had to operate the switches or the mouse? u can place the sensor wherever it feels more comfortable to u.
-
I am curious. What is the impact to framerate?
-
well didn’t notice anything on my tests…
but has an option in settings for Low Resource Mode. I believe this will cover those that will have problems. -
BMS 4.32 Kinect.
-
according to the video , it seems completely unefficient, much too slow in a combat environment.
IMHO , touch screens are much more adapted to BMS
-
I like the price -
same thoughts as Mav-jp though.It’s just like a new kind of mouse. You still have to coordinate the finger and the pointer.
Maybe fun for a ramp start but nothing for combat action.
I’m still glad that I just received the LG touchsceen and build it in my pit yesterday.But leap motion is very interesting for musicians and many other users - guitar around the neck and easy controll off cubase or whatever.

With a little practice it will soon be just as efficient as any other mouse, unless you have parkinson, but real touching is better than just playing with your hand.

about the coordination is usage mostly, as u use u get better. The video was my very first try with BMS. Remember your very first trackir usage, how hard it was to click with the mouse? Now i adjusted the accuracy and the overall speed is twice as much, also second third try to accomplish the click are waaaaaaay redused, in short im way close to mouse usage.
Icp usage where centering trackir is easier is way fast and cool.Also pilots have some trouble… the sides of the ICP as a real pilot told me are to use force with the palm and give input with thumb, that is for g conditions where its not that easy to have your hand stable, so pilots also face the same thing.
Sure i would love it to be better, but guys i have it only a few hours working with BMS. Needs more testing for accuracy, also mouse settings must influence, so I must coordinate airkey settings with mouse settings to achieve better results.
Also airkey as the dev says was a quick dirty solution (he said he done it in a few minutes) and in the future will get it better.
When I’m a bit more satisfied then now i will up another video, so u guys have a second opinion.

I am of the opinion that whilst a real mouse is probably a little better, clearly real switches would be quicker.
then again, your HOTAS is there for a reason. most of the hands off controls are designed so that they are not needed in combat, no?
