Okyp - Gestural 3D Modeling , LeapJS + ThreeJS

[Marcteys]

Hi guys,

I released yesterday my web application "Okyp".
It's web-based application, that allows users to create 3D models with gestural interaction. The user can experiment a new way of modeling complex shapes in a virtual environment, without any keyboard or mouse.

Video - Project page (test it !)

The intention was to develop a simple and natural interaction. Okyp is just a small personal project made to explore gesture-control devices and interactive web experiment.

To use it, the first hand detected by Leap Motion is the "controller hand". Showing 3 fingers means rotation, 5 fingers means zoom. The other hand is the cursor hand. When you are ready to create the shape, just tap with a finger of the controller hand.

You course it's open source ! You can download it here https://github.com/marcteys/okyp

Advices welcome !

With LeapJS, I use the libraries ThreeJS and ThreeLeapControls to navigate in the 3D space.

Its really nice

Though I didnt get how to draw points first, then I understood I have to draw with one hand and tap with other after keen observation in help.

This looks awesome, going to try it out later tonight.

Excellent concept, and I hope it continues to develop. I am also exploring something similar starting with Blender 3D, so look forward to seeing other ideas at tackling a natural way to interact with modelling.

Cool project! Keep it coming!!

Thanks !

I will continue to work on it, and create a more natural interaction. It was not easy to think about a functional interaction without keyboard and mouse, it's not commun ( @tylerz , keep me updated !)
