That's why it was great when Leap Motion announced that it would be making a VR mount (http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/28/leap-motion-s-next-sensor-is-designed-specifically-for-virtual-r/) a few months ago -- manipulating objects with your hands is just so much more immersive than using a game controller. But in order to use it, you would already need to have a VR headset plus you'd need to get the Leap Motion (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/22/leap-motion-controller-review/)sensor separately, which isn't exactly ideal. Now, however, you don't need to: Leap Motion has just announced that it's collaborating with Razer's OSVR (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/06/razer-osvr/) to build a VR headset with the Leap Motion sensors built right in.
