Elements
- Two Cameras
- Three Infrared LEDs
- Software
Interconnections
The cameras and infrared LEDs are directly connected to the software of the Leap Motion.
Control and Feedback
The Leap Motion has a field view of roughly two feet in all directions around and above it. The infrared LEDs shine outward and reflect infrared light off of objects within the field of view. The light is then captured by the two cameras. The data is then adjusted in the hardware of the Leap Motion. It then sends this data to the computer software. The software accounts for background objects such as heads, lights or other objects. It then depicts a 3D image of what it sees. The program tracks hands and fingers. It also will predict the position of parts of the hand that are blocked. It sends the raw position data of everything to another program to be used for whatever purpose that program serves.
Function and Purpose
The Leap Motion is a motion sensor and detector for hands. It tracks the position in 3D space of the user's hands and fingers. This device can be used for games, art pieces, or any type of computer program that a creator wants to use it for. It can be used mouse and keyboard free control of programs.
