Upon getting a Leap Motion and wanting to hack the ever-loving crap out of it, we decided to make some gesture recognizers that allow listening and handling motions such as: Did swipe right with x fingers, y hands Did pan on screen with x fingers, y hands Did tap with x fingers, y hands Did rotate with x fingers, y hands Did pinch with x fingers, y hands These libraries make it easy to create a WPF or a Cocoa Mac OS X application for manipulating and using the Leap Motion. These are built on top of the Leap SDK, and a level of abstraction up. We hope that this can be the foundation for a…

    Hey Everyone! I wanted to show my passion project I made a few years back and recently turned into a web app. Airdraw is an app that takes in your hand gestures and converts it into real time drawing capabilities. There are tons of stuff I want to build with this, but most importantly just put it out into the world! Hope you all enjoy :) Tested on my MacOS with Chrome, Safari, and FF I included a link to the original GH project I wrote here - https://github.com/arefmalek/airdraw and a link to the blog where I explained how I made it here -…

    Inscribed.app, a slide-based tool for creating stop motions animation and slides. I've been writing a lot of tech content lately and needed a way to create a stop motion to visualize ideas for my blog.
