The virtual reality gear & games we’ve got our eye on

Price: $79.99 (approx. £60) / leapmotion.com The growing world of virtual reality has opened our minds to the endless possibilities the virtual world has to offer. Leap Motion has created a controller that offers even more hands-free capabilities for users. With fast hand-tracking technology, users can enjoy multiple experiences and games without the restrictions of having to use a handheld controller, only their hands. The Leap Motion controller can either be a stand-alone sensor or an attachable feature to a VR headset, such as the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. Leap Motion have definitely focused on quality over quantity with their five VR interactive experiences, including an anti-gravity game called Weightless, and Cat Explorer, an educational tool for studying feline anatomy. However, by far the most entertaining and addictive is their Blocks experience. Pinch, drag and drop and you can create unlimited blocks and shapes to build with or just fire them off into the abyss under weightless conditions. This immersive piece of tech proves the future of VR could very well be in your hands.
