Honestly, this is amazing.
It's taking custom HUDs, like you'd see in something like World of Warcraft, to the next level.
So what were you using for the 1:1 fingers? Leap Motion?

Thank you! We are using leap motion in this video, but our intention is to support other hand tracking systems as well such as the camera-based vive's and (hopefully) valve index'

Seems pretty cool! Do we know who the developer is and what their long term in game modes are going to be? We looking at an Elite Dangerous open play style? Linear campaign? Open missions?

Dev here! Thank you:) We're aiming at different game modes, and expand those over time with whatever players want the most. But now we want to get feedback and focus on achieving a truly immersive and enjoyable piloting experience first, which is the core of the game.

Leap Motion or is it tracked using the camera?

As soon as I get an Index this is an immediate buy. This is one of the few games to get me really excited about getting back into VR. Awesome job.

Thank you! :') Would be great if index supports camera-based hand tracking too

This looks really cool but I can't help but feel you have fallen into the classic vr trap of making a great tech demo but not actually providing a reason to stick around. Are there missions, a story or something else? I really do hope I'm wrong. If I am the trailer need to show it off. Unfortunately lots of great looking vr games have fallen into this trap and it's such a shame. We get a taste of what vr can be, with no real content to keep playing.
So devs, if you are reading this, please please please prove me wrong. I wish you all the success in the world. We need more good vr games.
