Leap Motion on Single Board Computer

ripcore 2018-02-05 12:29:13 UTC #1

I want to try Leap Motion on SBC.
What is the least spec? I heard that Raspberry pi 3 cant handle it.
Would you like to suggest several brands to me?
I am going to give a try the ASUS Tinker Board but not sure whether it is enough or not.

The lowest spec is an Intel i3, which has around 3 Ghz. The Tinker Board and SBCs like it max out around 2 Ghz. The smallest form factor that will support the peripheral currently in an Intel NUC.

wow!!! even UDOO X86 ULTRA cant handle this?

Interesting, I wasn't aware of this previously.

Some testing would be needed, but if it actually runs Windows 10 (i.e. not Windows 10 Mobile) and hits similar performance benchmarks as a low-powered i3, it could be in the right neighborhood. That being said I'm not sure whether there are any other barriers to the software running on a Pentium N3710 processor (e.g. at a driver level).

UDOO X86 ULTRA or LattePanda (I think) can run windows 10.
Do you have a guy who actually has made this work?
Considering the prices, it's kind of a big risk to just blindy buy UDOO or LattePanda and try Leap Motion on it.

We have not attempted it, and while it should be possible to hit full framerates sometimes (comparable to those developers who have run our tech on Intel NUC boxes), there are no guarantees against overheating or frame drops. Also, any hand visualization software may not do too well with the older Intel HD graphics.

I just "google"d about LattePanda and i have kind of guts that this gonna work somehow, maybe not perfectly but worth trying. Anyway, somebody has actually run Leap on LattePanda there, but no more info about the performance. If the SDK works fine that will be enough for me.

Thanks for your reply
