Newbie - tutorial for pressing a button in unity

[markhansen]

Hi

I'm very new to leap motion and unity and am just looking for a simple way to detect a button press (with an index finger), get the coordinates of the index finger (especially the distance) and how to set up the leap so that it works pointing in a downwards direction (ie the leap is mounted above a surface onto which a unity canvas is projected.

Many thanks

Hi @markhansen, please find some info below to help you with this:

• I recommend having a look at our UI Input Module for help and examples of how to use buttons.
• For assistance with accessing hand coordinates in Unity we have an example available here which was recently updated to work with Gemini 5.3.0.
• Our hand tracking is trained for a mounting position above the hand and I would recommend reading our camera placement documentation here for advice on how best to achieve good tracking results with this placement.

I hpoe this helps!
