Hi all,
I'm aiming to build a wireless solution for the Leap, where essentially I'd like implement a wireless transceiver. I'm well aware that a wireless version of the Leap will be available in the future, but since wireless function is on critical path for my overall project, I have decided to spearhead on the design, as I cannot wait indefinitely.
Background:
A local surgeon has taken up great interest in using the Leap as a gesture controller to view/scroll through x-ray and CT scans during operation, where traditional methods of keyboard and mouse image viewing requires them to re-scrub for 2-5 minutes every time they view the images. However, due to limited spaces available in the operating room, a wireless solution for the Leap will greatly aid the doctors by allowing the freedom of movement while ability to scroll/zoom on scans without re-scrubbing.
I'm still new to this technology so I stand to be corrected, but my current thought process is:
-use microcontroller with USB & Wifi/BT shield (Arduino)
-Plug in Leap to Arduino and extract data
-Use portable battery pack to power microcontroller & leap
-Transmit the raw data through wifi/BT
In essence, I'm building my own WiFi extender, though I'm open to all suggestions. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
