The Leap Motion sdk was updated recently to version 2.0 which includes full skeletal finger tracking instead of the finger tip tracking in v1.0. The latest updates to the v2 SDK continue to improve the overhead tracking of the hands (the first public release of the v2 sdk lost tracking completely most of the time when making the fast index finger swiping motions). The effective field of view of the Leap Motion allows it to track my hands just as they come into sight on the Rift.
