In 2016, company released new software designed for hand tracking in virtual reality.<\/p>\n<h2>How does it work?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The Leap Motion controller<\/strong> is a small <strong>USB peripheral device<\/strong>\u00a0(below) which is designed to be placed on a physical desktop. Using two <strong>monochromatic IR cameras<\/strong> and <strong>three infrared LED<\/strong>s, the device observes a roughly hemispherical area, to a distance of about 1 meter. The LEDs generate pattern-less IR light<sup id=\"cite_ref-25\" class=\"reference\"> <\/sup>and the cameras generate almost 200 frames per second of reflected data.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_695\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-695\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-695 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fundabook.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Leap-Motion-Orion-Controller-Plugged.jpg\" alt=\"Gestures Leap Motion Device\" width=\"600\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fundabook.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Leap-Motion-Orion-Controller-Plugged.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fundabook.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Leap-Motion-Orion-Controller-Plugged-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-695\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leap Motion Controller<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is then <strong>sent<\/strong> through a USB cable to the host computer, where it is analyzed by the a<strong>\u00a0software<\/strong> using &#8220;<strong>complex maths<\/strong>&#8221; in a way that has not been disclosed by the company, in some way synthesizing 3D position data by comparing the 2D frames generated by the two cameras.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\"><strong>Leap Motion<\/strong> will make operating job easier on the computer<span class=\"\">\u00a0as it<\/span><\/span><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\">\u00a0is more accurate than your <span class=\"\">computer&#8217;s mouse.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0 <span id=\"result_box\" class=\"short_text\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"\"><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\">This with helps you with controlling the computer from three angles using your hands and fingers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Video<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing the Leap Motion\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_d6KuiuteIA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In sci-fi movies you might have seen people using hands and gestures to command a computer or a machine and direct its operations.
