For a hacknight back in April, I tried mapping my arm into a 3D pointing device that recognized a recoil wrist gesture as firing a gun. Sound effects like "pew pew pew" were optional but heavily encouraged. I initially tried the Leap Motion mounted on the Oculus Rift. As this blog notes, the top-down recognition was iffy at best but things really went to shit the moment the sensor was moved. I was unable to get even gun orientation working in the 6 hours or so that I tried, so maybe the new SDK + sensors can fix that. I did end up building my demo, but with a alpha Thalmic Myo instead of the Leap. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lihaqf3COw8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lihaqf3COw8
