The document introduces Leap Motion, a new technology that allows users to control computers and applications with hand gestures and motions. Leap Motion uses infrared sensors and cameras to track finger positions with high precision, enabling users to navigate interfaces without touching a mouse or keyboard. It has applications in gaming, robotics, music, healthcare, art and design by providing a more intuitive and natural interface compared to other input devices. The Leap Motion device is small, affordable, and portable, and has the potential to change how people interact with computers.

 Through
this new technology we can say good
bye to Mouse & Keyboard.
 Leap
Motion is a startup developing advanced
motion sensing technology for HCI

detection – a process of detecting changes
in position of an object relative to surrounding

5. 5

Electronic visual display that user can control

Touch screens can be simple or multi touchable with
one ore more fingers

Direct interaction with what is displayed on screen

No mouse or other input devices

6. 6

Common device in game consoles, all in one
computers, tablet computers and smart phones
 Accurate
 Dual
interaction by users
touch screen which uses 2 screens either or
both are touch capable
 Multi
touch identifies 2 or more points of contact
with surface

7. 7
 Accuracy-
small movements of fingers may result in
large movements
 Users
hand may obscure the screen
 Feeling
of little electric shock when touch with wet
finger
 Screen
have to be big enough for button pressing
 Screen
will get dirty

 Most
affordable new technology in 2013
 Sensing
device connected to computer via USB port
 Sensitive
 200
to the minutest movement
times more sensitive than existing touch-free
technologies
 Control
computer through simple gestures using
finger or pen

13.  Widely
 More
recognized as more powerful and accurate
accurate than a mouse
 Reliable
 More

14.  Motion
 User
sensing is now available in video games 14
experience is natural and more life like
 IPod

software
 Track
individual finger movement to 1/100th of a
millimeter
 Device
is 200 times accurate than anything else on
market

upward.

Creates a 3D interaction space

It also tracks tools like pen, pencil, chopstick..with high
accuracy

Leap performs task like navigating a website using
pinch to zoom gestures on map

Provide high precision drawing and manipulating
complex 3D data visualization

 Main
technology behind leap is natural user
interface, gestures recognition and motion detection
 Consumes
only 1-2% of the Central Processing Unit
(CPU)
 Leap
has partnered with Asus to ship high end
notebooks and all in one PCs in later 2013


The Leap is a small USB peripheral device

Using two VGA cameras and three infrared LEDs to
capture depth information

The device observes a roughly hemispherical area, to a
distance of about 1 meter.

It is designed to track fingers which cross into the
observed area, to a spatial precision of about 0.01 mm
