A downloadable game

Unfinished and buggy ;-(

LEAP ARENA demonstrates that the virtual hand controlled by Leap Motion Controller can be an important part of the virtual scene and the gameplay.

  • fully utilizes the finger and palm position tracking technology.
  • provides full immersion of the player into the virtual environment. It means that changes in the physical world originate reactions of the object Ai/Animation systems.

So the virtual hand controlled by user directly interacts not only with physical world objects but with the autonomous AI driven characters and flying drones as well.

  • consists of three type of physical objects: pillars, stones and crates
  • consists of flying drones: Every drone reacts to the user's commands to realize the desired behavior, tries to avoid to other drones and virtual hand, tries following the index finger, etc.
  • consists of autonomous characters: Every character reacts to the user's commands to realize the desired behavior, avoids to all obstacles, to all characters and virtual hand

Leap Arena is an unfinished technology sandbox, so feel free to play.....
