 Introduction to leap motion technology

Leap Motion is a computer hardware sensor device that

supports hand and finger motions as input, analogous to
a mouse, but requiring no hand contact or touching.
It is a miracle in computer interaction field.
It is a breakthrough in computer interaction using a patented
mathematical approach to 3D,touch free motion sensing and
motion control software.
Say good bye to mouse and keyboard.
Its more accurate than mouse and keyboard
 Leap Technology

Uses an array of infrared

sensors.
Motion detecting algorithm
is the secret.
Consumes only 1-2%of the
CPU.
Doesnt requires the use of Graphics Processing
Unit(GPU).
 How does it works ?

Plug in the Leap and place it in a

comfortable position in front of
your computer screen
Go to leapmotion.com/setup to
download the drivers and the Leap
control panel (available for
Windows and Mac)
After installation, the Leap Motion
Orientation will run

USB3 Controller
 SDK/Drivers

Runs on Windows, MAC and Linux Environments

Supports development in C#, C++, Objective C, Java, Python &

JavaScript and more

Supported by rich developer community portal

Contains APIs for common gestures for rapid prototyping

 Airspace Store

Leap Motion has an app store called Airspace where it sells apps
made by developers
Airspace is the Leap Motions app store (airspace.leapmotion.com )

You will need to create an Airspace account

Not all apps are multi-platform

There are a lot of free apps, but most cost $2 - $5

Apps in every category: Games, Music, Design, Productivity,

Education, Science and more
 Advantages of leap motion

Accurate Powerful
100x more accurate than no visible latency real time interaction
anything on the market experience,
1/100th mm tip of a pin precise hand and finger movements
accuracy
 Advantages of leap motion

Embeddable Content-rich
small form factor, low z-height, Airspace App Store with over 60k app
low CPU and power consumption developers across wide range of categories
 Other Advantages of leap motion

It Can track movements at a rate of over 200

frames per second
Plug and play (via USB)
200 times more sensitive than existing touch-free
technologies (kinect)
Affordable & inexpensive
 Application Area Of Leap Motion

Education

Interactive Displays in classroom

Integration with curriculum
Applications for special needs
UI Research for industries

Healthcare

Access to data & images with sterility

Information access in public areas
Progress/Regression measurement
Patient room control
 Application Area Of Leap Motion

Data Visualization

Complex data navigation

Trend & Correlation identification
Decision efficiencies
Data sharing & collaboration

Art & Design

More Intuitive 3D interface

Greater accuracy and responsiveness
Offers better designing as compare to
mouse
Leap changing the world
 Conclusion :

The potential and many applications

here are truly exciting but if the
device really is going to be the
revolution.
It is just enhance the way of your
work by simplifying the operation. It
provides the interesting interface
between user and system.
