Leap Motion Controller, Gesture Motion Control for PC or MAC

The quality is good, unfortunately the machine shook uncontrollably at first start up. I did check to make sure they were position correctly

This thing works just like you would imagine. It's a single view, so things that go behind other things won't be tracked. So if it's flat on the desk, for example, you give the camera a thumbs up, it won't see it because the thumb is above the hand and it cannot see it. You can, of course change you hand position to get it to kind of sort of work... but you get the idea. The field of view is kind of narrow as well, but it works from a further out distance than you might expect, so I just moved it back a bit and it fixed that issue. It tracks very well though and I've been having fun working with it. The sad thing is that it seems to be getting a bit old and there's not a lot of people developing for it. Some things that were developed for it aren't there anymore and their app store seems to have some outdated apps on it that do not work and or not longer supported as well.

5 star

There was so much hype on this device for quite a long time. I could go on forever about the problems I have with this device but will keep it useful and short. I have a 25 year background in IT, maybe that is part of the problem, higher expectations on technology with such a long development. 1. The hype and marketing videos are deceiving. To get the performance you need to really spend some time adjusting settings. Once you do spend the time, you cannot vary from the speed or location of motion that you setup with or the performance suffers. 2. The software. First you need to download the drivers from Leap's site, ok BUT the apps they have made are poor and undeveloped at best for general computer control. I wouldn't even call it Beta, should still be in development. To get third party software, you can ONLY get it via their appstore. Of course you can get teh SDK and make your own, which I am sure the average consumer will. This device isn't ready for the consumer market. I would classify it as a novelty item. I had mine a day, then sold it. The device is probably worth about $15, otherwise you are better off sticking to a Kenect or similar for motion control computing. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that this device is the biggest disappointment in tech that I have had in about 10 years. So much potential wasted. It has a pretty box though.

I just received my Leap Motion controller in the mail yesterday, and it is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It is awesome to be able to use air gestures to play games, and control your computer! Don't listen to the people giving it a bad reputation, they are ignorant because they did not read the instructions where it says you need to download their program in order to start downloading apps, and games for the device!

Driver installs easily, but the driver software is very buggy and doesn't always start up when Windows 10 starts. Leap Motion is also not a great input alternative to the Vive controllers. First, the Leap Motion only sees directly in front of you, so your hands can't be behind your back or at your sides. Second, the camera cannot distinguish one hand from the other when hands are touching or very close or in front of each other. This kills immersion more than holding a controller or a Vive wand. It's also not accurate to what your hands are actually doing, even in brightly lit rooms. For example, it couldn't tell I was making a fist and kept my thumb out, showing a thumb-up pose. On the other hand, it's a nifty toy to have at such a cheap price. I got it for only $30 (DIY mount, used sticky putty) and played around with the Leap Motion VR demos. It was kind of boring, but I could see it being a cool toy to show to friends when showing them all your VR gadgets. There are cooler Leap Motion VR experiences available on itch.io if you're interested.

I purchased this item as a Father's Day gift for my husband. He ABSOLUTELY loves it. I wasn't sure when I made the purchase I had questions and doubts but I figured he could figure it out and if it didn't meet my expectations, I would just send it back. I am so glad I moved forward with the purchase. My husband said it's the best Father's Day gift he's received. The only problem I have now is that I may have set the standard too high.

This is a great little toy. It's nothing more then a toy. Don't expect to be operating like Minority Report but it's really fun to play with. The accuracy is amazing but the programs need a lot of refinement which should come with time. It's like touch devises, it's such a new way to interact with a computer there are no natural actions. But it's really fun to play with.

Estupendo dispositivo de reconocimiento gestual aunque le hace falta un poco más de precisión en el reconocimiento de ciertos movimientos y gestos.

Seller shipped it pretty quickly. Don't know how did he manage to get it so quickly from the US. The product itself is not totally perfect. Though it would be unfair to compare it to VR products that charge a 10's of thousands for the same. But unless you want damn near millimeter precision, the product does the job well.

Veramente stupendo, preciso, comodo. Un passo avanti nel futuro. Una spesa Modica per inoltrarsi in un mondo nuovo e fantastico

I hooked this up to the front of my Valve Index to use for finger tracking in Neos and it works really well. It gets super hot but that doesn't seem to affect performance.

Además del controlador, te pide mucho más hardware de lo que dice y muy caro, no lo recomiendo.
