Fingers
This lets Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) VR use the Leap Motion and a bluetooth ring to press buttons. See photos and video on the Twitter thread.
Requirements
- Leap Motion tracker
- A bluetooth ring (of custom design, details soon)
- A Windows PC with Bluetooth, ideally using one of these adapters
Build instructions
- Install the Leap 4.1 SDK (5.0 beta has also been tested and appears to work, but with occasional disconnects)
git clone https://github.com/glenmurphy/fingers.git- Open FingersApp.sln in Visual Studio 2019 (need to make sure you have .NET4.8 SDK installed)
- Make sure the LeapSDK and Windows.winmd paths in fingers.csproj point to the right place
- Cross your actual fingers because build instructions usually forget to mention all kinds of stuff the author didn't realize was necessary
- Build + Run
Setup / Config
- Make sure your Leap understands which way is up - look in the vizualizer and flip it in the control panel if necessary; the auto orientation doesn't always work. This gets reset every time you update Leap, and is the most likely cause of problems.
- Run FingersApp.exe
- Select the right mount for your device
- Press the buttons on your rings to pair them (on some BT adapters you may need to press both rings simultaneously)
Other
- OnShape Model for the Pimax/Leap mount
- You're almost certainly better off buying PointCTRL - I made this because I'm still waiting for one :)
- This was previously a Deno/Chrome app, but swapped to C#
- Ultraleap dropping official C# support but making it unofficially available is why the LeapCS directory exists
