Leap Motion Examples,included in this package, demonstrate various Leap-sensor implementations, such as character control with one finger, using the Leap gestures, cursor control, hand grips and releases, finger-controlled GUI buttons, etc.
It consists of two demo-scenes, several reusable Leap-helper scripts and Playmaker actions for LeapMotion. The goal of the example is to provide simple means to utilize the LeapMotion sensor in your own Unity projects. The examples should work with both Unity-Free and Unity-Pro, under Windows and MacOS X.
How to Run the Example:
1. Install the Leap Motion driver and software, as explained in Readme-LeapMotion-Examples.pdf, located in Assets-folder.
2. Download and import the package.
3. Open and run LeapAvatarControl-scene, located in Assets/AvatarControlDemo-folder, or
4. Open and run LeapGesturesDemo-scene, located in Assets/GesturesDemo-folder.
For more information about the example scenes, see the Readme-LeapMotion-Examples.pdf, located in Assets-folder.
Troubleshooting:
* If you get TypeInitializationException, make sure you have installed the Leap Motion Installer.
* Leap Motion Installer can be found here.
* The example was tested with Leap Motion Software 1.0.8-1.1.3 on Windows and v.1.0.8-1.0.9 on MacOS X.
* Here is a link to the project’s forum: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/218042-Leap-Motion-Examples
What’s New in Version 1.5:
1. Added Playmaker actions for LeapMotion.
2. Added gesture demo scene – simple presentation cube, controlled by hand swipes – left and right.
3. Updated project structure in order to be better understandable.
4. Fixed hand grip and release functionality.
5. Removed the extra gestures.
The extragestures doesn’t work well. Fist never get recognized, and the hand swipe that gets recognized is the type.swipe…. Can you help me fix this?
Yes. Extra gestures don’t work well. I suggest it is because of the unreliable behaviour of the LM-sensor. I need to research this deeper and either fix them or remove them althogether from this package. Unfortunately, at the moment I’m a bit overwhelmed with work, so it will take a while.
Hi Rumen,
Do you plan to update Leap Motion Examples for leap sdk v2?
Thanks,
Hi, as far as I remember, the ‘leap Motion Examples’ worked fine with LeapSDK v2. But I don’t use LeapMotion much lately. Is there an issue or is there anything they didn’t provide already as their own example?
Hello. Rumen, How to add the custom gesture and recognize them ?
Hi, you should consult the LeapMotion developer documentation here: https://developer.leapmotion.com/documentation/ My LeapMotion-Examples package is deprecated on Unity asset store since long time now. I don’t support it any more, and don’t know the latest tricks of the SDK.
