Leap MotionController, Gesture Motion Control for PC or MAC

There is no other controller that does this, so yeah. Tracking and operation requires a high learning curve and usage for VR REQUIRES a beefy computer, So if it doesn't work "smoothly" it's your rig! believe me, I can't write a bad review because the technology is in it's infancy, but as they say, AT LEAST IT WORKS......

This thing works just like you would imagine. It's a single view, so things that go behind other things won't be tracked. So if it's flat on the desk, for example, you give the camera a thumbs up, it won't see it because the thumb is above the hand and it cannot see it. You can, of course change you hand position to get it to kind of sort of work... but you get the idea. The field of view is kind of narrow as well, but it works from a further out distance than you might expect, so I just moved it back a bit and it fixed that issue. It tracks very well though and I've been having fun working with it. The sad thing is that it seems to be getting a bit old and there's not a lot of people developing for it. Some things that were developed for it aren't there anymore and their app store seems to have some outdated apps on it that do not work and or not longer supported as well.

Funciona de maravilla, se está utilizando para el desarrollo de ambientes para realidad virtual y no nos ha quedado mal. Se recomienda bastante si tienes algún proyecto en desarrollo para apps VR; algunos detalles como la precisión o detección pueden fallar si no lo tienes en un lugar adecuado, hay qué tomar en cuenta que si lo mueves constantemente puede llegar a descalibrarse, aunque su panel de control permite la recalibración del dispositivo. Excelente producto.

Driver installs easily, but the driver software is very buggy and doesn't always start up when Windows 10 starts.Leap Motion is also not a great input alternative to the Vive controllers. First, the Leap Motion only sees directly in front of you, so your hands can't be behind your back or at your sides. Second, the camera cannot distinguish one hand from the other when hands are touching or very close or in front of each other. This kills immersion more than holding a controller or a Vive wand. It's also not accurate to what your hands are actually doing, even in brightly lit rooms. For example, it couldn't tell I was making a fist and kept my thumb out, showing a thumb-up pose.On the other hand, it's a nifty toy to have at such a cheap price. I got it for only $30 (DIY mount, used sticky putty) and played around with the Leap Motion VR demos. It was kind of boring, but I could see it being a cool toy to show to friends when showing them all your VR gadgets. There are cooler Leap Motion VR experiences available on itch.io if you're interested.

Great so far. I tried it on my old PC and netbook which at most it's a dual core with 4gb of ram running win 7 ultimate. It was chugging a lot on them but worked on the faster one doing barebones stuff. I have to get a faster system. It's not lying when the min is a i3 core PC. I'm fine with keeping it on ice til then. Total cutting edge.

Maybe this works well for others but the purpose for me buying it was for using within flight simulation for hand gestures. Unfortunately my experience was poor. I use trackir which is infrared based and the two units don’t play well with each other. They get confused. So I returned it. Very neat concept in a very small package.

I purchased this item as a Father's Day gift for my husband. He ABSOLUTELY loves it. I wasn't sure when I made the purchase I had questions and doubts but I figured he could figure it out and if it didn't meet my expectations, I would just send it back. I am so glad I moved forward with the purchase. My husband said it's the best Father's Day gift he's received. The only problem I have now is that I may have set the standard too high.

There was so much hype on this device for quite a long time. I could go on forever about the problems I have with this device but will keep it useful and short. I have a 25 year background in IT, maybe that is part of the problem, higher expectations on technology with such a long development.1. The hype and marketing videos are deceiving. To get the performance you need to really spend some time adjusting settings. Once you do spend the time, you cannot vary from the speed or location of motion that you setup with or the performance suffers.2. The software. First you need to download the drivers from Leap's site, ok BUT the apps they have made are poor and undeveloped at best for general computer control. I wouldn't even call it Beta, should still be in development. To get third party software, you can ONLY get it via their appstore. Of course you can get teh SDK and make your own, which I am sure the average consumer will.This device isn't ready for the consumer market. I would classify it as a novelty item. I had mine a day, then sold it. The device is probably worth about $15, otherwise you are better off sticking to a Kenect or similar for motion control computing.I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that this device is the biggest disappointment in tech that I have had in about 10 years. So much potential wasted.It has a pretty box though.
