I'm just putting this out there.
Why isn't this already a thing now?

Leap Motion Controller VR and Elite: Dangerous
- Thread starter amadeus1171
- Start date
Not many people own one I guess (I do somewhere...), bigger fish on the development list, no real VR specific changes are added to the game anymore.
Its not exactly a small change either is it...
Yeah, it's very cool tech!

developers developers developers ...
So many interest around it with pilots starting threads (I made a list here), even more threads discussing it when just searching for "Leapmotion" or "Leap Motion"

Even during the hot topic phase in 2014 there has been 0 feedback by developers until today.
The topic came up on a regular basis and is well discussed you just have to do the full search.
Now with the Leap Motion module custom made for the new PimaxVR HMDs offering a wider field of tracking area the topic should again rise in awareness.
For Frontier Development a simple animation of hands should be doable as kind of an unsupported plugin or addon, because the bone modeled arms and fingers are already in place.
I can see they don't have much love for VR in general anymore and also want to avoid further request on more tricky things like supporting LM as an input device...
But still a comment from the developers for the obvious "why not or when?" would be more than welcome on that topic.
