INTRODUCTION

Continued.
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

What is leap technology?

The Leap Motion controller is a smallUSBperipheral

device which is designed to be placed on a physical
desktop,

facing

upward.

Using

two

monochromatic

cameras and three infraredLEDs, the device observes a

roughly hemispherical area, to a distance of about 1 meter
(3 feet). The LEDs generate a 3D pattern of dots of IR
lightand the cameras generate almost 300 frames per
second of reflected data, which is then sent through a USB
cable to the host computer, where it is analyzed by the
Leap Motion controller software using "complex math

Basic Three Components Of Leap Motion Technology

Peripheral
Leap Motion Controller
USB Connection to Computing Device

SDK/Drivers
Leap Motion Software
Ground-breaking algorithms

Airspace (App Store)

Third-party applications, developer relations
Consumer & Business focused applications

 Peripheral

Sensors
Two Global Shutter Image Sensors

LEDs
Infrared LEDs

USB
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 include: Autodesk Maya plugin, Fruit Ninja, Google Earth, and The
New York Times
Apps in every category: Games, Music, Design, Productivity, Education,
Science and more

How does it work ?

At first connect motion controller via USB

cable.

Advantages of leap motion

Accurate
Powerful
Embeddable
Content-rich

 Advantages of leap motion

Accurate
100x more accurate than
anything on the market
1/100th mm tip of a pin
accuracy

Powerful
no visible latency real time
interaction experience,
precise hand and finger
movements

 Advantages of leap motion

Embeddable

Content-rich

small form factor, low z-height,

low CPU and power consumption

Airspace App Store with over 60k app

developers across wide range of
categories

 Other Advantages of leap motion

It Can track movements at a rate of over 200 frames per
second
200 times more sensitive than existing touch-free
technologies (kinect)
Affordable & inexpensive

Application Area Of Leap Motion

Education
Healthcare
Data Visualization
Art & Design

 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

Visual example of leap

motion

conclusion

Google endorses leap motion

with latest version of goggle
earth.
Leap represent a significant
step forward for loughfree,
motion sensing technology
and the sensible price point
means we wont need to a
finished artist .
