Anyone tested leap Motion with BMS?
-
I just went to Amazon to check this out. One reviewer said he got this for flight sims and that leap motion interfered with his Track IR. Most of the other reviews said that the motion tracking was not accurate enough.
So my questions for people who are using this are simple.
Is it accurate enough?
Are there problems with Leap Motion and Track IR working together?

just an update on it…
works pretty nice.
So…. it’s another flying mouse basically. Without a controller, though. Very neat, but I was kinda hoping for more, like gesture tracking and finger/hand tracking close or far, anywhere I move, but this seems very restrictive (the Nintendo Power Glove comes to mind). Wanted to mount it on the face plate of a VR HMD, but now I’m glad I waited for others to experiment first.Works pretty nice in the video - but not for what I had in mind in BMS. If it’s me misunderstanding the product, that’s on me, oh well. I still want one just to play with it, but that’s an expensive toy for what I now know won’t work for VR as I had hoped, as a replacement for the Oculus Touch Controller flying mouse concept and “laser pointer finger” style clicking.

I’ll keep my mouse.

well you can assign actions to gestures. whatever you want, it’s not just a mouse.
mouse is mostly for right handed making it difficult to use with the left hand and I prefer having my right hand on the stick or for the MFD’s.
In the near future I intend to place the leap tracker on the center and use both hands cause now with my vfs I don’t have stick issues and I can leave it, In the past I had to have my right hand always on the stick cause it was drifting like crazy.There is another app that you can print your cockpit elements, calibrate with your finger, and when you place your finger on a certain area it will perform a specific action. Though I don’t know if you can have 2 gestures like one for right click and one for left click.
it needs some time to get used to it but once you get it and you set the sweet spot for accuracy and smoothness it is very handy :lol: handy…
game wave with it’s reorientation functionality for my case with 3 monitors is very genius and practical so you can reposition your hand without moving the pointer, Yasu’s moded trackir profile is also helpful to keep center, and BMS cursor anchor functionality adds greatly to resolving the not fighting to select the correct button in such a fluid 3d environment.

I read somewhere that you can use leap motion to “convert” the monitor to “touch screen”. Not sure it is possible in BMS or not?
(I don’t have leap motion, but I am thinking on it, to purchase one…)
