Unable to connect with Leap Motion Camera

[prisillaade]

Hello,
I'm facing quite major problem with my project and i really need someone help. The detail of our project is that we create a program that can click buttons with the help of the Leap Camera as our Mouse. It's actually a really simple project with Desktop App and without VR, but until now i didn't get it right. I currently use the V2 Tracking and C# for the form and the main program in windows 10. I already used the new v4.0 and v3.2, but from the internet sources that i have, it's not compartible anymore. they don't have gesture, so we need to take the old one. My questions are:
1. How can i connect my program with the Camera? I used the Controller = new Controller() from the leap and add Listener. I also used onConnect and ConnectionHandler from the source codes. Or what do i exactly need to write, so i can get it connected to Camera?
2. If I can use the new v4.0 without using unity. How can i program the gestures such as keytap and swipe?

I would love to hear your opinion.

Thank you

Best regards,

Prisilla

Hi Prisilla, unfortunately I have not done any work with the C# API having focused the Unity API. With regard to the gestures you may want to check our the Unity asset store. There are several good resources for gestures in the store. Unity uses C# as the script language and these assets may provide a reference to what you are working on. Generally each are fairly low cost, about $5 each.

Alternatively, have you considered using Unity? It has been used in many non-game (assuming you are not making a game) applications and provides many assets that are useful toward that end.

Hi,
Where can i get all the information regarding of the price and those assets? and if i use unity, can it be non VR-Program? Because i currently need just the gesture for the desktop app. I'm doing some research on internet and couldn't find any good resources for that, could you please give me some advices, where to get any further information regarding of the Unity?
Thank you so much!

best regards,
Prisilla

Hi prisillaade, I am currently using LEAP Motion in Unity for a non-game desktop application. I am not using a headset. You can find a wealth of information on Unity at unity3d.com. There is an active user community and a tutorial section that is useful for both new and experienced users. LEAP Motion has the Unity API and an example project at https://developer.leapmotion.com/unity/#5436356.
