Leap Motion in desktop

[Mr. Pickles]

Would it ever be possible to use Leap Motion controller to track hands in screen mode without using VR helmets and without connecting a smartphone like a helmet? I think this is not a technically-complex decision. I think that many are interested in this question.

[Mr. Pickles]

I apologize in advance for my English. Google translator helped me :)

Yooo, I'm studying this as well, I've seen a guy using leapmotion in vrchat and it was quite cool to see hand tracking. So he used a trackpad or a ps4 controller to actually move in vrchat, I'm assuming he can also access the ui in game with the gamepad. What I'd like to do was use the leap motion just with my desktop and not use an hmd/ head mounted display. I think you can actually access steamvr and just connect the controllers without having to use a headmounted display, although i think you have to change something like headmounted display "not required" or something like that. Anyways, I'm also looking for an answer here, if anyone knows. Please let us know.

[Mr. Pickles]

Maybe we should submit a collective request, or collect a certain amount of money to implement this idea? I want to use every opportunity to make this possible, but I do not know where to start.
Maybe for a start we need to attract as many people as possible to this discussion?

Anyone interested in adding this feature please join the vote! Suddenly something will turn out!

Yes, I saw this video. But all this with the use of SteamVR. I would like to use it in Desktop mode. Control the character on the keyboard or gamepad and, if necessary, reach out and visualize them in the game

But you said that you want to use a smartphone, which would need to run through steamvr anyway. For just using desktop and your monitor, no there is nothing currently. But in your post and your canny, you said you want to use a smartphone as a display, which is what those videos are using already

[Mr. Pickles]

I want to use it on screen without using a VR helmet

[Vatarga]

Oh, ok. You made it clearer now

[Mr. Pickles]

We need more people, otherwise this proposal will not be considered.

Are people still interested in forwarding this? I am a desktop user and am so sad I can't pet my friends, but I cant afford something like an oculus quest yet. I am totally here to help forward this idea unless its already been implemented.

Oh. so it's not possible. Yikes.

They haven't done anything about it in 3 years... Apparently, effective managers don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about users. However, nothing new.

It took so long I have a VR Headset now, hahahaha.
