Some problems about Touchless For Windows

[lixin10]

Hello, everyone. I am thinking about some problems these days, and want to know what you think about them.
What difficulty do you think you will meet in the process of developing an app similar to Touchless For Windows?
What is the problem do you think about the Touchless For Windows?
Thanks.

The problem with Touchless for Windows for me is that I cannot get it to do anything

What is the problem do you think about the Touchless For Windows?

I'd love to be able to draw in Paint.NET/Photoshop with it, but apparently it doesn't allow me to.

EDIT: Now it works... for some reason... So, at the moment I think my only problem with it is that pinch-zoom doesn't appear to work in Opera.

One of the main issues with Touchless is consistency. I frequently find my forward-backward distance resetting sporadically, making it difficult to poke an object with the consistency of a touchscreen. In other words, the cursor circle keeps resetting to "large" even as my finger advances to complete a poke. Naturally, this makes dragging a bit of a problem, too. Still, I've learned to work with Touchless for most of my casual needs, but keep a mouse handy for high-precision work and for when Touchless gets especially glitchy.

Ok, thanks.Ok, thanks.

I don't think so, you can do a lot with it, it just like a mouse, you can just try it.

Thanks, I meet the same problems too.

is ther some sort of an "on switch" for getting the touchless to work in anything other then the introduction screen? it doesn't even work in the Airspace screen. I have to be missing something very basic and not sure where to look to turn it on. The infrared lights are working, the orientation visualizer works, but nothing else works by waving my hand over the leap motion.... What am i missing to do to get it to work?

If you have started Touchless you should have an icon with thee circles in the tray bar (lower right of your screen). Right-click that icon and move the mouse to the uppermost menu item. You should get three options "Disabled", "Simple" and "Advanced" (or something like that). Ensure it is set to either "Simple" or "Advanced".

Thanks. But maybe you misunderstand what I asked.

@lixin10
I was answering @APEXXLLC's post (though I could have made it more clear).

Ok, I get it, it is my fault.

Edit: I plead for some changes in Touchless app.
So it behaves like an air touch surface at a configurable plane (pitch, yaw, distance from origin).
I'd write that myself, but Touchless is closed source, and I don't know how they render visual feedback and emulate touch.

This. Just a switch (virtual air-touch, like it's now / constant z-depth at which the screen is touched) and a z-depth slider.

Pretty please!

Sorry, did you attach an install file? Not sure what you mean.

I also have this problem with this app and another app named GAMEWave.
I think those apps are not updated to use the Orion beta 3.2 API.
Those apps only work as long as they are on top.
When you download and install V2 and select desktop mode, it works as described.
(only tested with GAMEWave)
I didn´t uninstall V3.2 first. Just installed V2 over the existing insatllation.
I recommend to set a windows system restore point before messing around!
