INTRODUCTION
 Touch screens are just now becoming the popular
thing but the idea of actually having to touch a screen is
already becoming outdated because of the Leap
Motion Controller.
 When it comes to computers, there’s a lot of
touching involved where we have to put our hands on
the keyboard, the mouse, even the screen to
accomplish anything, but this is a new tech toy entering
the neighborhood that makes the air in front of us the
control panel

HISTORY
The project was started in the year 2010 final
product was launched in 2012.
Found by David Holz and Michael Buckwald

WORKING
It uses two monochromatic IR cameras and three infrared LEDs.
The device observes area to a distance of about 1 meter.
The LEDs generate a 3D pattern of dots of IR light.
Cameras generate almost 300 frames per second of reflected data,
which is then sent through a USB cable to the host computer.
It is analyzed by the Leap Motion controller software using "complex
math“ algorithm.

APPLICATIONS
1.PLAY
Use your hands to move in any direction, with precision.
Dive into realistic, 3D interaction at its best. Steer, slice, grab,
push, pull, crush, and shoot with your hands and finger.

2.CREATE
With the Leap Motion Controller, you are the instrument.
Drum, sketch, draw, and paint with your fingers.
PAINT

When we learn about the world through 3D motion-control, life
really comes alive. Fly through 3D cities in Google Earth. Zoom
around the planets in Solar Walk, take apart a skull in Cyber
Science
3.EXPLORE

ADVATANGES OF LEAP MOTION
 MOST EASIEST METHOD OF COMPUTER INTERACTION
 PORTABILITY
 USED BOTH IN LAPTOP AND PC
 GRATER ACCURACY
 AFFORDABLE

DRAWBACKS OF LEAP MOTION
 NOT ABLE TO PERFORM WELL ON ALL LIGHT CONDITIONS
 LIMITED NUMBER OF APPS AVAILABLE IN AIRSPACE
 COST OF APP
 TIME TO LEARN NEW APPS
 SPEED

FUTURE SCOPE
1.MEDICINE
 Replace super computers
 Enable to move remote cameras without touching them

2.HOUSEHOLD
 Help you turn on and off lights, open and close the blinds, control your
TV and all other electronic devices without actually touching anything.
 Useful for disabled people who cannot move very well, or in buildings
where contamination is a real danger.
3.ENTERTAINMENT
 The Leap could help control your character in an AR game that happens
around you.
 Controlling radio devices (e.g. cars, planes, boats) without the need of
physical controls can give you more accuracy and freedom.

4. 3D MODELLING AND GRAPHICS
 It is the only device that gives full control of a 3D object on all three axes.
Architects and designers can really benefit from this by getting the freedom
they have always wanted when it comes to 3D modelling and 3D graphics.
They can turn, scale and fully transform objects without having to use a
physical 2D controller (e.g. mouse, keyboard, track pad), thus saving precious
time and allowing more creativity.
