You mean a device such as the Leap Motion Controller? http://store-eur.leapmotion.com/products/leap-motion-control... They seem to offer a VR headset add-on these days, but I've only ever seen the 'basic' controller in action, which worked okay-ish.

I think that’s infrared but the same idea. That never quite worked. Also, Leap didn’t continue to refine their hardware for consumers. They have next generation hardware that’s going directly into VR headsets, but you can’t buy it.

Seems to me that you can buy the SDK[0] (which is not much more than a Controller and a bracket to hold in against your VR headset of choice), so at least they've made some progress since 2014. [0]: http://store-eur.leapmotion.com/products/universal-vr-develo...

Using the Leap Motion on an Oculus is magic. Much better than hand held controllers. When I use it I don't get sick from VR.

Any decent apps that support it? I have been thinking of buying a Leap Motion to experiment together with Rift

No, but maybe you can create one!
