Description

This class represents a child class of VG_ExternalController.

If you haven’t yet, have a short look at VG_ExternalControllerManager on the purpose of a VG_ExternalController.

Setup

This is an external controller class that supports the LeapMotion controller as an external controller.

The following requirements have to be met to be able to use this controller:

  • You have a Core Assets plugin imported into your Unity project.
  • Note that Core Assets > 4.4.0 are for LeapMotion SDK 4 or higher, and the older Core Assets are for LeapMotion SDK 3 (lastest CA 4.3.4).
  • You have the corresponding LeapMotion SDK installed on your computer.

If these requirements are met, you will be able to use the “VG_EC_LeapHand” controller profile to setup your MyVirtualGrasp configuration (otherwise an error will appear on the console).
