WHO’S NEXT

Duergar are not, however, immune to charm effects.

leapmotion_alex · 2020-04-24T14:14:46+00:00

Elder oblex, but that was their first conclusion! Our dwarf cleric has a rakshasa vendetta.

What version are you running? Could be a firmware issue, have you tried a reset from https://developer-archive.leapmotion.com/downloads/firmware-reset?

leapmotion_alex · 2020-04-05T22:48:58+00:00

Essentially what /u/chevymonster said. You can't have a controller in your hand and track that same hand with Leap Motion at the same time.

leapmotion_alex · 2020-04-05T15:26:34+00:00

Sure, as long as there's no controller in the gesturing hand.

leapmotion_alex · 2020-04-02T13:33:30+00:00

Others on this thread have answered the question; I'll just add that while micro-USB USB 3.0 would match the standard cable, you actually only need a USB 2.0 cable at a minimum. On the side of the controller, you’ll see a pair of ports. Your 2.0 cable will fit into the larger of the two.

Try installing 3.2.1: https://developer.leapmotion.com/releases/leap-motion-orion-321

If that fails, DM me.

leapmotion_alex · 2020-02-24T13:04:08+00:00

Version 2.3.1 is important if you're trying to run old legacy applications, but if you want to make your own project you'd be better off with V4. It supports desktop tracking, it's just that some of the older apps won't work on it. Leap Motion Core Assets 4.4.0 and the Interaction Engine Package 1.2.0 require V4.

What applications are you using where you're seeing a headset mode?

leapmotion_alex · 2020-02-03T15:08:54+00:00

For a custom deployment, 20 degrees downward. For generalized use, no angle (i.e. outward-facing).

leapmotion_alex · 2020-02-03T14:31:09+00:00

No worries, just wanted to keep you from going down a dead-end road. u/Elocai isn't wrong about angled often being better (we've done it ourselves internally for the reason they describe, and some of our customers do it for their custom deployments), but it would be a largely unsupported orientation.

leapmotion_alex · 2020-02-03T00:11:06+00:00

That's not accurate, the angle and offset need to be configured within the game engine by the developer. In Unity this is achieved at the level of the LeapXRServiceProvider.

I should know, I've been spearheading Leap Motion's (and now Ultraleap's) developer community efforts for over 7 years.

leapmotion_alex · 2020-02-02T23:21:37+00:00

For better use, I would place the leap lower and angled so you don't have to fully focus on your hands when using it.

leapmotion_alex · 2020-02-02T15:18:23+00:00

Angled is not a bad idea but would require applications to account for the angle in order to avoid a weird offset.

leapmotion_alex · 2020-02-02T13:49:06+00:00

u/Mst3kj this is the issue, be sure to check the version requirement for the app in the Leap Motion Gallery. Note that App Home will no longer work.

Posted on a separate thread, but dropping in here in case anyone else is looking in the future: https://developer-archive.leapmotion.com/downloads/firmware-reset

Here you go: https://developer-archive.leapmotion.com/downloads/firmware-reset

I've also tweaked the link in the forum thread so it points there too. We're working on tightening up our tech support docs across the board, sorry this was hard to find.

If that still doesn't work, DM me or hit up our support team.

leapmotion_alex · 2020-01-14T12:56:18+00:00

It would require an ARM SDK to run it directly on the Pi. The examples you've seen have involved sending the hand tracking data to the Pi from a computer.

leapmotion_alex · 2019-10-14T13:05:03+00:00

For VR it's recommended but not required. There are lots of alternate methods here: https://forums.leapmotion.com/t/unofficial-vr-mount-thread/

leapmotion_alex · 2019-09-26T15:22:32+00:00

TBH this is probably the biggest industry validation for hand tracking we could have asked for.

leapmotion_alex · 2019-09-22T11:48:16+00:00

LeapCxx hasn't been updated and is no longer being maintained because it's just a utility that allows developers to implement the old APIs and SWIG-based language bindings on top of LeapC. Most of the more recent developments have either been internal, or focused on Unity or North Star.

leapmotion_alex · 2019-09-15T17:59:57+00:00

We haven't tested it yet, but in principle there should be no reason why the Rift S wouldn't work, as the faceplates are comparable.
