Troubleshooter and Visualizer show flipped tracking

[user-234949177]

I don't have a VR headset and am using Leap motion controller in the desktop (up-facing mode).

The troubleshooter is showing the correct tracking of hands.
My right hand is on the right side of the screen and the left hand is on the left side.

But the problem has started occurring in the Visualizer where
the left hand is appearing on the right side and
the right hand is appearing on the left side.

Why did this happen ?

Details:
Windows 10 home
Firmware Revision: 1.7.0
Software Version: 4.1.0+52211

Hi @user-234949177 This is expected behaviour because the camera is looking up at your hand, not down at it, so it sees your left hand as being on the right.

In any application, that hand would be interpreted as being your left hand as you'd expect it to. You can test this out with a number of applications on our app gallery. An oldie-but-goodie is the Playground app which will need our V2 SDK and this manual hotfix.
