It might possibly be part of a broader issue with how the Vive motion trackers handle ambient (or artificial sources of) infrared light. Both operate on similar principles so they should work the same, but since we don't make the Vive Controller or the puck we can't diagnose the cause of instability or disparities between tracking models. The community has seen mixed results with Leap Motion and the Vive tracker. Does Leap Motion work with the Vive tracker? The VR Developer Mount fits neatly in the empty space in the middle of the faceplate. No, our technology uses a narrow range of near-infrared light that doesn’t overlap with the Lighthouse system. Does it interfere with HTC Vive Lighthouse tracking? Grab our latest Unity assets from /unity to get started. Yes! The Unity Core Assets are built to use the native VR plugin, which officially supports the HTC Vive and other SteamVR headsets. While it’s not truly seamless, we were surprised to see how well Orion tracking and the Vive controllers play together without any engineering effort. We designed the Orion software to be robust in all kinds of environments, even when your hands are physically touching other objects. However, given our commitment to VR/AR, it is something that we anticipate releasing sooner rather than later. At this point, we don’t have a clear ETA on the next phase of the Android SDK, or what shape it will take. We are not distributing the Android SDK at this time.

For example, the consumer version of the Gear VR does not allow for data transmission through its USB port, which is power-only. In many cases there are other barriers to development on these headsets. Standalone headsets run on mobile chipsets, and we currently don't have support for mobile platforms. The plastic is too reflective, causing glare from the Leap Motion's infrared LEDs.” Do you work on mobile/standalone headsets (e.g. Note that according to the developer who tried it, “the tracking is a lot worse if you put the frunk cover on over it. You should experience a framerate of 115 fps. You can stick the micro end into the Leap Motion Controller (see this photo) and plug it in to the larger of the two ports on the side. Our developer community has found that a tiny micro USB to USB A adaptor will make this possible: (If you’re really keen on reducing cord clutter, sometimes setting the Vive camera to 30 Hz leaves enough bandwidth.) Can I plug the Leap Motion Controller directly into the Valve Index? The camera is defaulted to off right now, but we recommend using the USB extender so that you don’t miss out.

In the case of the HTC Vive, we’ve found that the onboard USB doesn’t have enough throughput if the Vive camera is activated. If this happens, you should use the cable extender included with the VR Developer Mount. However, this may cause performance issues resulting from low bandwidth. You may be able to plug the Leap Motion Controller into this port. Some headsets have an extra USB port that use the device's USB connection to the computer as a USB hub. Can I plug the Leap Motion Controller into headsets with extra USB ports (e.g. You’ll need to use the cable extender included with the VR Developer Mount. There is no spare USB port on the CV1 or S for a USB cable. Can I plug the Leap Motion Controller into an Oculus Rift CV1 or Rift S?
