Contributed library to use the Leap Motion in Processing.

Table of Contents

About

The Leap detects and tracks hands, fingers and finger-like tools. The device operates in an intimate proximity with high precision and tracking frame rate.

The Leap software analyzes the objects observed in the device field of view. It recognizes hands, fingers, and tools, reporting both discrete positions and motion. The Leap field of view is an inverted pyramid centered on the device. The effective range of the Leap extends from approximately 25 to 600 millimeters above the device (1 inch to 2 feet).

Download

Installation

Either you use the import manager of Processing (Sketch > Import library ... > Add library ... > Filter: "Leap Motion").

Or you download, unzip and copy the extracted LeapMotionForProcessing folder into the libraries folder of your Processing sketches. The reference and examples are stored in the LeapMotionForProcessing directory. For further help you can read the instructions by Daniel Shiffman.

Camera-Images

Furthermore you have access to the raw camera images:

import de.voidplus.leapmotion.*;


LeapMotion leap;

void setup(){
	size(640, 480);
	background(255);  
	leap = new LeapMotion(this);
}

void draw(){
	background(255);

	if (leap.hasImages()) {
		for (Image camera : leap.getImages()) {
			if (camera.isLeft()) {
				// left camera
				image(camera, 0, 0);
			} else {
				// right camera
				image(camera, 0, camera.getHeight());
			}
		}
	}

}
