Switch between multiple leap motion

Hi,
I have to make an application that require a large field of tracking. I've read many things about support of multiple leap motion on one PC and I know there is no support to use multiple leap motion at the same time. But my project don't need a high FPS and I think about a solution : switch leap motion device at runtime.
Maybe something like this could work :
If nothing is detected, switch device every second or half-second to scan all the field of tracking
If a hand is detected then follow it!!! If the two devices (or more) are align, then if my hand go out of field by the left active the left device etc etc

In the new API we can get the device ID, but we can't do anything with it... The SDK select the first device connected.

Tell me if there is a solution to switch device at runtime to do something like the description

Thanks.

Regards.

Can you speak a bit more about your project and why specifically you'd necessitate this FOV? As you stated, we don't currently have multiple device support. While it's a heavily requested feature and a goal on our roadmap, we do not have a release estimation at this time.

Hi, i think you can mount 2 pc with one leap each, and connect vía network using OSC protocol. One of the PC´s must be the server and host the app (unity project with the game o interactivity), in the other just send the info,

We do this with 2 kinect and one Leap all conneted.

Hope it helps.

Regards!

Hi, I need it very soon. Like all projects the client want it for yesterday...
Work with two computers can be a good option, but the project need to restart easily, then it's not a good option here.
I need a large FOV because it's an outside application and my client want a large screen to show his product.

Thank your for your help, I think I have to found an other technology to do that at this time.

The size of the screen shouldn't matter if I'm picturing this correctly. If you still would like to pursue a Leap integration for this project, PM me and I can assist with any specific questions.

Thanks.
