Does Leap Motion support gesture recognition?

[blackshadowjk]

Hi ,

I'd like to develop something like Runes: The Forgotten Path. (The player draws a shape to cast a spell)
Does Leap Motion support gesture recognition or any suggestion of other solutions?
Thanks.

Jack

Hi Jack,

To my knowledge, you should be able to replicate the functionality in the video you provided. I'd recommend taking a look at this post for some pointers: https://community.leapmotion.com/t/creating-my-own-gesture/603/6

Another option that may work for you is Xesto: https://xesto.io

I've moved this thread to our developer section in case any of our community members have any tips to share.

Hi Jack,

There is an article about VR controller-based gesture technology tryout analysis on Unity forum you may be interested in.
Mainly about three VR gesture libraries:

VR Infinite Gesture by Edwon Studio
VR Magic Gestures AI by Raving Bots
VR Gesture and Signature (for HTC Vive) by AirSig
