This week the Dexperience Team has been working on refining the ideas for the VR experience and exploring the capabilities of the hardware.

After spending some time using the Leap Motion hand tracking technology the team created a tool which utilizes a VR controller for calibrating the hand tracking to the movement of the VR headset in order for the virtual hand model to accurately match the user’s physical hand. The benefit of this tool is that it can be used with any VR headset and any placement of the Leap Motion device on the headset in order to avoid manually calibrating the position.

Here’s a demo video of the initial version of the tool, calibrating with an Oculus Touch controller.

The team also spent time this week solidifying the general project plan through the creation of the team website (the one you are currently on) and a product requirements document that will be used to guide the creation process throughout the quarter.
