This entry will be focusing on initial prototyping. The criteria focused for this prototype will be:- - Moving around with keyboard w/ strafing but turning - Integrating Leap Motion onto a moving object - Grabbing and Punching stuff with Leap Motion This is the initial prototype for the features stated above. Demo Build The demo The Vent stage for testing the visuals and prototyping the feedback of the interactable objects.
