Abstract
The work describes the development of prototype applications for educational purposes using contactless input device. The prototype application simulates a simple assembly of computer systems within the virtual reality system. Contactless input device used is the "Leap Motion" device which conveys the natural movements of the hand in the virtual world so that users can manage the user interface elements in an intuitive way. The process of assembling computer within prototype applications is simplified, it includes only the most important components. The paper describes the tools used and shows how the "Leap Motion" device is used and integrated into the application. To make the prototype application functional for the specified purpose, we have modified and upgraded existing user interface and program code for integration of device. In the process of making the work we have studied the capabilities of the device, together with basic limitations of such devices and technologies.
