Hi Everyone
I'm researching into the creation of interactive exhibits - and one of the options has been to use the Leap Motion. As an example (and this is just an example), see http://vm-2016-acesas1.uksouth.cloudapp.azure.com/client/js/sandhouse.js with a leap motion plugged in.
The problem is that though the 'cursor' moves reasonably well with the hand movement, I am having difficulties with the 'selection', which is currently using pinch strength. Pinch 'activates' with a pinch strength of >=0.9 and 'deactivates' with a strength of <=0.6. When a pinch is active, the next 'button' hovered over is selected - but not any subsequent buttons (to debounce) - the user has to unpinch before pinching again.
Does anyone have any suggestions for ways to select - I would use screen tap, but I gather the gestures have been deprecated. I previously used 'hover' to select, which had some other issues - I've posted about this before - https://community.leapmotion.com/t/push-issues-with-browser-javascript/5979.
Best wishes
Andy Stratton
Note: I have to use Javascript through browser - the interactions are automatically generated - so C++/Unity won't work for my use (well - they could - but it's a LOT of work...)
