About the LEAP Motion controller
Hi I was wondering if anyone out there could answer this question. The LEAP Motion sensor has a range of 8 cubic feet. If you were to strap it around your chest, could you use it to track both of yo...
I was figuring an 8 cubic feet space was around 2 feet out and all around from the source (to the front, or above the sensor).
That's 16.75 cubic feet.
Anyway I thought it would be an interesting method to look into... Apparently you do not... lol.
I didn't say it wasn't interesting, it's just that you don't need "crazy long arms" to go past the leap's scan range.
Actually it might have longer range than 20 inches, but only in the horizontal and distance axes, the vertical is shorter. I've heard it's a half ellipsoid, not a half sphere. But I couldn't find any hard facts yet.
I registered to become a leap developer back in december. I'm still waiting for them to approve me.
I'd like to try sticking it to the front of a rift like sebbi suggested, but not for arm tracking. Instead pipe the depth view straight through so you have a freaky z buffer vision. :)
Maybe with some kind of solid backing like body armour (but cheaper) you could get the leap on your chest without it moving with every breath.
