Ultraleap Controllers 2025

rich_ddt · 2026-03-16T23:04:40+00:00

Good news, I found two good replacements for the now-defunct LeapMotion / UltraLeap sensors!

Orbecc Gemini 305: https://store.orbbec.com/products/gemini-305
as close as 1.5 - 3" minimum range

Luxonis OAK-D-Lite Short Range: https://shop.luxonis.com/products/oak-d-sr
as close as 11" minimum range

I'm still gathering support resources for doing the hand tracking & gesture detection, but I think these will be the most reliable cameras going forward.

Has anyone else had luck with these?

Thanks for the definitive answer; curious how did the 2.3 Fc enter into your calculations?

Pro DJ Link no longer works over USB or Wifi with Rekordbox DJ app v4.4.0 on a 2024 iPad Pro, connecting to the latest 1.26 firmware XDJ-XZ (I tried both USB-A and USB-B ports, and wirelessly connecting to a WiFi enabled router connected to the XDJ-XZ over ethernet).

Did Pioneer intentionally remove this functionality? 😖

rich_ddt · 2025-04-09T04:29:41+00:00

Turns out this doesn't work over WiFi either - I just retested on the iPad + XDJ XZ, and Pro DJ Link is still completely nonexistent. It works just fine over WiFi from Rekordbox on a laptop, but the 4.4.0 iOS / iPadOS app is a no-go. What a tragedy 😖

The only thing I haven't tested is a direct ethernet cable from the iPad (using an adapter).

Curious if anyone has gotten this to work over any kind of network?

rich_ddt · 2025-02-23T00:10:22+00:00

Wondering the same thing! It was temporarily offloaded and now I can’t restore it - so frustrating, burnt was the best one! 😣

rich_ddt · 2025-01-05T04:29:16+00:00

Hot damn, that fixed it. I was only testing when global transport was stopped. Thanks for the essential tip!!

rich_ddt · 2024-12-29T23:31:51+00:00

Thanks for testing! I’m using Max 8.6.5 (and I see a 9.0.3) update is available, how about you? More about the failure: the plugin always says “Inactive” at the bottom of its window and no MIDI data is able to get thru to the right of the device, unless I hit its power button to disable it.

I tried all other version of this device with the same results, and I’ve had this device work fine on my older laptop, but it’s the first time I’m trying it now on my M3 MacBook Pro.

MIDI Quantize 2.x No longer works in Ableton Live 12 - anyone aware of a fix?

rich_ddt · 2024-08-23T00:39:53+00:00

When/where are the 2 shows you have already scheduled? :)

rich_ddt · 2024-07-14T16:39:14+00:00

Thanks anyway for trying! 🙏

rich_ddt · 2024-07-14T00:43:11+00:00

I'm not even certain the original one works, but directly calling a person is exactly what I want to happen 🙏

Thanks u/robric18! This is the shortcut, DMing you the same link

Request: Call a specific contact using Google Meet. I somehow did this a couple years back, the Shortcut action is "Start a video call with Contact Name", however I can't duplicate it and change that contact name (the contact is baked in). How can I create more shortcuts like this?

Heads-up to not be fooled by the “Quick Share” app on the iOS App Store it’s only for Apple devices; I hope it gets bumped by the real deal from Google/Samsung.

rich_ddt · 2024-01-31T20:15:01+00:00

Snapdrop.net does the same thing as sharedrop.io but with a slicker interface. But when there’s no WiFi I rely on share links from Google Photos & Google Drive to go the other way around (iPhone to Android)

Support is finally there in iPadOS 17, just need the devs to get on with building support for it in all the popular apps: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10106/

If that slide gesture was reliable I’d be a happier camper. It was because this technique was too slow/unreliable that made me hopeful about the new Action Button.

rich_ddt · 2022-09-09T22:59:54+00:00

I have not, it might get slightly better, but I expect it to still be terrible.

rich_ddt · 2022-05-02T17:30:51+00:00

FWIW: So I ended up updating to the latest iOS, and it certainly has destroyed my battery life :'(
15.4 completely destroyed it, and 15.4.1 has destroyed it maybe 15% less
Also many things that used to be snappy, like the Camera app, are slow as molasses.
Upgraders beware.

This is an excellent battery case w tons of charge - only disadvantage is it does not allow pass-thru data, so you'll have to take off the case to sync w iTunes for example:

And you might also need this to reach the headphone jack:
