Hi,
Looking into a project, and was thinking of mounting leap motion at an angle to the user (tilted back at 45 degrees ish). Would this affect the performance of the device, ie wouldn't be able to identify hand as well? Or could this be programmed into the app?
Thanks

45 degrees back is typically okay. You can use Visualizer/Orientation or Diagnostic Visualizer to observe how the field of view is tilted.
Note that poses like a hand tilting up 45 degrees to the table becomes 90 degrees to the sensor. The more you push it, these poses can become challenging to detect and would work better in V2 than V1.
Some other orientations like on the side or top-down with hands on a table are not yet supported.
You'll also have to program this tilt into the app and if you plan to ship it to other people you'll have to make sure they also tilt the device in the same way. Otherwise, you'll you move your hand forward in real space and the virtual hand will move more up or down depending on the tilt.
for an installation project, we are trying to tilt the sensor 45 degrees towards the user. looks like this:
the detection hasn't been working great, is there any way I can optimize it in the code? I tried editing the GetTestPoseLeftHandTransform inside leap service provider and it doesn't do anything.
