◆ Tutorial
Leap Motion is a device that "manipulates PC with gesture in the air", and since its operation method is completely new, it requires a little getting used to using it. Therefore, a tutorial "Orientation" is prepared. If you launch Airspace without connecting Leap Motion, the following alert screen will appear, so first connect Leap Motion properly.


Next, click the Airespace icon and proceed to the home screen.


This is the home screen. Click the "Orientation" icon. This will start the tutorial.


The state of the tutorial progresses like the movie below and it takes about 3 minutes to finish. You can grasp what you can do in general.

◆ Solar Warfare
In any case I would like to play like a game like "Leap Motion!", So I will play the shooting game "Solar Warfare" ($ 4.99, about 500 yen). A fighter aircraft turns in accordance with the movement of the palm, and furthermore, when the palm is closed, it can emit a beam and attack the enemy.

First, I will purchase an application on the app store Airspace. Click "Get app" on the right.


Purchased when the upper right icon grayed out and became "Purchased".


When clicking the Airspace icon and going to the home screen, the solar Warfare icon purchased earlier has appeared and clicked. Play starts.


When setting display resolution and graphic quality before starting, click "Play!" Icon.


Here is the movie that is playing Solar Warfare and actually struggling to steer.

◆ Dropchord
I will install and play a distinctive game "Dropchord" that I do not know what the last thing should be described in the last. Download the application on the app store Airspace, click on the Dropchord icon that appears on the Airspace home screen and start the game.


In what game Dropchord is playing and how to play it with Leap Motion can be understood by watching the following movie, a kind of unique operability.

Since the game application for Leap Motion is required to make use of the 3D gesture to the utmost in all, it is necessary to train the operation of Leap Motion. Also, it's hard to play continuously because of the style to play with raising both hands high. However, because of that new sensation I definitely will be repeated my muscle pain "once more!"
