Rift-Mounted Leap Motion Controller Demo
Update:

Here I added a little sword to play around with, fixed the physics, and shaved down the entire script to 29 beautiful lines.
Here I show off how much fidelity and spatial awareness you can get by moving the "sword" all around the object and tapping it on each side.
I made a little demo to show off how well the Leap does hand tracking when mounted on the front of your rift.

To use:
Firmly attach your Leap to the center of the faceplate of your rift (I used velcro).
If your hand is upside-down, go into the Leap Tray Icon and click "Reverse Orientation".
Added a youtube demo to the OP to show people what it's like with a rift.
hey guys. awesome idea! The YouTube link does point to the dropbox download. The linktext however is valid.

I was hopeing someone would do this. looks like creative minds think alike.
This is awesome. Do you have a git repo to share any of this code?
I'm especially interested in how you setup the ragdoll and got it to reset properly.
The ragdoll doesn't use any code. I just set it up as one would normally set up a ragdoll and I put a spring on "Spine1" and "Head" (the head to so it wouldn't look so...dead). The springs aren't connected to any other rigidbodies, so that anchors them to the original rigidbody's starting position. I then tweaked the springs damping and springiness so that he would look like he's standing up and so that he has some give so I can beat him around a little.
