I have all of them items above on my desk. I'd recommend one of these though https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/get-cardboard/ if you dont have an oculus, currently its the same resolution display and no wires out of the back of your head either. the plastic colorcross with headband strap is best so far
Personally I think your proposition would be a bit clunky based on my interactions with the leapmotion apps so far, perhaps some hands open and hand close to mimic a select and move and then you could repose the position, open your hand it stays..? but for sure some more intelligence behind the gesture you are trying to communicate and the action you are trying to call is needed as its pretty hit & miss in recognizing hand shapes and orientation after a very short while of use and it seems so far, limited to one dimensional kind of state toggles at a time. also its kind of a1/2 metre square over your keyboard and your hands get tired flapping around above there after a while. but this should all be doable / hackable with fabric as they have the connections all coded up already , no? I think its definitely some kind of future but its very early days in the interaction side of things imho ps. touch..? you would have to be controlling inside SI's 3D space an object by the leapmotion, yes is possible, but would you also not have a collision detection on top for this kind of interaction to work?
