Leap Motion controller / MacOS Monterey - supported soon?

So, gemini supports Qualcomm XR2 which is an Arm based part - why can't we get generic Arm linux driver support or M1 support? Clearly it runs on some variant of Arm.

Hi Dan, just wanted to add my voice to the requests for info regarding the Monterey compliant drivers for Leap Motion.

does anyone know if the workaround can be used for Monterey 12.5.1 ? I'm getting no joy from a new 3Di on a Mac Studio M1.

@CFord You are a saviour! It worked.

Thank you thank you thank you - reporting LeapMotion working on Monterey - 12.5.1 and 12.6
The 'trick' above works.. but why?
AND... how the heck did you think of even trying something like that?
I reboot normally and it still works.

I am only using it with Glover - for MIDI expression, but still it is too good to use it in Monterey and not have to boot backwards to BigSur just for recording hand motions (CC data)

Well, anyways, cheers, thanks for the tip!

@CFord Thank you for the great instructions. Following your tutorial, I am able to get the device working for some minutes (sometimes even seconds). The device turns on after the restarts, but suddenly disconnects while the green light is still on.

Have you had any experiences on this?

Thank you so much in advance!

I'd just like to add my voice to those looking forward to updated Mac drivers. I'm a musician who has been using Leap Motion as my primary instrument since the hardware was in beta, and I'd love to see it keeping up-to-date on the Mac platform!

Came here just now discovering that the leap motion does not work in MacOS. This is a dealbreaker for this product for me - I need it to work with Logic for virtual music.

It works in Big Sur and earlier. I just had to revert my OS to keep mine going....

While this trick of getting Leap Motion working on Monterey seems to work, I just tried on MacOS Ventura 13.0 (M2 Mac, though not sure if that matters), and unfortunately, it does not work - the toolbar icon never turns green after a reboot. Anyone else have this issue as well?
