Easy-to-use Gesture Recognizers for Leap Motion in Objective-C and C#

In plain words

This library provides gesture recognition tools for Leap Motion controllers in Objective-C and C#. It simplifies detecting hand motions like swipes, pans, taps, rotates, and pinches by specifying finger and hand counts. Built as an abstraction layer above the Leap SDK, it enables developers to quickly create gesture-driven applications for Mac OS X using Cocoa or Windows using WPF, providing a foundation for community-driven gesture recognition development.

In the maker’s words, at launch

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…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
