This virtual reality app requires the use of an Oculus Rift DK1 or DK2 and a Rift-mounted Leap Motion Controller (using the VR Developer Mount or unofficial alternative).

Before using, enable "Allow Images" through the Leap Motion Control Panel to enable video passthrough.

Available for both Windows and OSX.

In VR you can do anything. You can fly through space, manipulate the stars and swim through bubbles.


Press 1 for Grid
Press 2 for Spheres
Press 3 for Magical Stars
Press 4 for Aerobatics.


Requirements

  • Use RunMirrored.bat to create both a HMD window and a copy window, so your friends can see what you are doing!
  • Please use the 0.4.4+ runtime and set the Rift Display Mode to "Extend Desktop to the HMD"
  • Example does not work with Oculus Runtime 0.7 and higher
  • Requires Leap SDK Version 2.1.3 or newer
  • Works best with discrete graphics cards (NVIDIA, AMD)
  • Source code available now!
