How is it? Leapmotion

About Leapmotion found out during their campaign on Kickstarter. It looked good then, but it didn’t produce a wow effect. In the spring of the same year, they started an update v2 with a skeletal tracking of each finger. And here Johnny-mnemonic told me - “We must take it!”.



The device was quickly found at a humane price in an overseas online store with free shipping. A nice bonus was a letter a few days later with the text “Man, so that you would not languish for a long time in anticipation, we decided to send it to you by EMS. Good luck.

Everything came quickly and without any problems.
')


In the box lay the device itself and two wires to it, one short, the other longer. Why short - I still do not understand, the device refuses to work via USB hubs, which they, in principle, do not hesitate to talk about.





All the necessary software is placed from the site: the application for setting up the device and Airspace - the application launcher. You can download / buy applications from the store , at the moment there are only 205 applications in it. This figure sows a small grain of doubt and makes you wonder. And where, in fact, developers, community, where is everyone? Hey! The project is nothing less than a raised $ 14 + million investment.

Okay, enough of the sentences, give me something to squeeze with virtual hands. In the settings, we set the maximum accuracy of work, start visualazier and see:





Skepticism was originally about this device, but I really wanted to touch the virtuality with my own hands. All the applications / games I tried where finger motility was involved are pain and suffering. More or less, you can use it, where the whole hand is chasing completely or with one finger, but this absolutely does not bring joy. After playing with the device for half an hour, he was put back in the box, along with the desire to use it or develop something with his participation.
