LeapMotion and SteamVR

Hi,

I bought a leap motion to try mainly with VR games. There are some guided for getting it going with SteamVR, buyt I cannot get the controllers to show up in Steam.

I’ve followed the guides and the controlllers are visible in the Leap Visualiser.

Has anyone any experience or tips they can offer please?

Hi @stuzleaper and welcome to our forum.

Did you try contacting Leap Motion Support?

@stuzleaper Welcome to the RobotShop Community. Any success? Some leads just getting the two working together (not entirely SteamVR specific):

Some answers found online:

It seems that is can work with Oculus Rift S (which is what I have).

On the Rift S, the LM works independent of the HMD, it’s connected to the PC on a separate cable, and is on a separate software (not oculus home). There is no spare USB port on the CV1 or S for a USB cable. You’ll need to use the cable extender included with the VR Developer Mount.

Steam specific (I did not verify these links though):
