Airdraw▲269Hey 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 -…

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…

QWANJI▲174Hey HN! I've built this bit of cuteware (software not solving a problem but just for fun) inspired from the patterns made by swipe typing on mobile devices. To me it seemed like the closest thing to an English version of Kanji and it would be cool to consistently recreate those patterns. The implementation is vanilla js to keep things simple (and from a bit of framework fatigue) I'm keen to see how people use qwanji. Any and all feedback welcome!

Scroll Buddy▲107Hi! Instead of a boring scrollbar I made a scuba dude that swims down the page when you scroll. The idea came from nostalgia; remember SkiFree game on Windows? I wanted a skier skiing down my site. Building the skier mechanics in pure javascript turned out to be difficult so I started with a runner, added a santa hat, and recently built scuba buddy. You can try it directly as soon as you start to scroll down the page, and see the other animations with the "Change Animation" button. Technical details: entirely javascript, takes scroll depth value (window.scrollY) and inputs that into…
