Help Rope tying in VR using LEAP Motion

[christouch2]

Hi,
I am doing a preliminary study into the use of Obi Rope
for rope tying with simulated hand/fingers.
The input device being used at the moment is LEAP motion (Orion beta)

I can interact with objects tethered to ropes but cannot think of a way to
do actual rope manipulation. LEAP requires an interaction behavior to be placed
on the object to be manipulated but for ropes the interaction point would have to coincide
with a nearest particle (i guess).

Any ideas how to proceed?
