Is the hand confidence issue going to be solved anytime soon?

[DanielGonçalves]

Greetings!

TL:DR : Need to use the hand confidence level. Currently using version 2.3. Is a solution to the Orion issue going to be available anytime soon? Thx =)

As a part of my master thesis, I'm trying to fuse 2 (or more) LeapMotion controlers using a Kalman filter and so far it´s been working pretty well regarding the hand occlusion problems as well as some other issues related to certain hand poses that the controlers find hard to track ( like the closed hand pinching pose).

As a way to update the R matrix (sensor measurement noise) i'm using the hand confidence function. Therefore, i´m limited to the version 2.3 o since the Orion Beta version has an issue with the hand confidence level being always stuck at 1, as reported in the known issues.
Is there any solution to this problem yet? Or will it be released soon? I´ve noticed Orion has a much more robust tracking algorithm and i´d like to try it before my thesis is due.

Thanks in advance.
Daniel

No, there is no solution yet. Given the way the new tracking algorithms work, the old calculation for confidence isn't possible. We are still in the stage of defining how a confidence rating could even be calculated for the new algorithms. I don't expect a solution in the near term.

I understand. Thank you for your answer. I´ll keep an eye out!

I have more than one leap, really looking forward to see what you can do with mulitple ones.

Hi, I'm working on 4 Leap motion devices , whenever I move my hand between any two devices I need to have a smooth transition between them. This can be done by Multi-alignment Script(Uses Kabsch Algorithm) in Unity Modules
(\UnityModules-feat-multi-device\Assets\LeapMotion\Core\Scripts\Utils\MultideviceAlignment.cs). But this is only working with 2 Devices but not four. Any advice on how to get it work with 4 Devices( I'm coding in C#).
Thank you for the help.

Hello DanielGonçalves How to I fuse two or more leap motion devices using Kalman filter??

rking with 2 Devices but not four. Any advice on how to get it work with 4 Devices( I'm coding in C#).
Thank you for the help.

Hello, about a week ago I sent a pull request that fixes the calibration for more than 2 devices, take a look at it: https://github.com/leapmotion/UnityModules/pull/1128

Hope it helps!
