driver_leap VS openvr-driver-example

Since you are talking about VRchat, check out Driver Leap. It is a SteamVR plugin that treats the Leap hand tracking as virtual Valve Index controllers. The mods here recommended it when I asked a while back and it works great.

For the project I dev/produce, we don't use any specialized plugins for seated tracking. Body tracking is 3 Vive 2.0 Trackers (on shoulder and wrists). Hand/finger tracking is done via SteamVR using the Driver Leap SteamVR plugin, with a chest mounted Leap IR170. (This emulates virtual Index Controllers using Leap's hand/finger tracking and pips everything in via SteamVR finger tracking).

MSFS does not have support for hand tracking. Best you can do is something like https://github.com/SDraw/driver_leap, which emulates VR controllers using hand tracking.

Check out the Driver Leap project.

You can emulate controllers using hand tracking in SteamVR using this plugin: https://github.com/SDraw/driver_leap, but I don't find it very useful since you need to use finger gestures to emulate button presses.

Alternatively there is a community built LeapDriver by SDraw which emulates VR controllers in SteamVR using our hand tracking which can be used to achieve this as well.

Driver Leap is basically your only option working with an HMD, if you're not a developer. It maps Leap devices to virtual Index Controllers. (I use the plugin for hand/finger tracking on a vtubing avatar I made for a friend, along with some Vive Tracker for better body tracking).

However, there is a SteamVR driver to emulate an index controller with the hand tracker. What I did was completely uninstall the Leap Motion software that Pitool downloads, then install the currest version, then install the third party SteamVR driver. It works... but it was very difficult to use with any measure of accuracy or speed in the games I tested.

This might expand your options a little bit, though I definitely don't expect it to be perfect: https://github.com/SDraw/driver_leap

Hi, you can use Ultraleap hand tracking on your Quest 2 if you connect this to a host PC running the Ultraleap Hand Tracking Software with a link cable. There is also a LeapDriver for SteamVR available here which will allow you to emulate VR controllers using hand tracking within SteamVR.

Sounds good. If you're going to look into open vr I made a wiki page and an example on how to get started, because I found the official documentation to be lacking, especially when it comes to legacy bindings.
