New projects and features, insights on the future of human-computer interaction, and updates on Leap Motion developer communities around the world.

Eddie Lee experiments with light and sound to build strange and wonderful playgrounds of the mind – from the moonlit river of Kyoto to the synesthetic delights of Lotus. Check out some of Eddie’s creative process in our latest developer spotlight video.

It’s time to fully embrace a change in the way we think about technology and how we use it in our day-to-day lives. The gadgets, the APIs, and the common ground for connecting them all together in diverse and incredible ways exist right now. Leap Motion is just one part of rediscovering how we can […]

As a wise philosopher once said, we are living in a material world. While virtual objects are great, there’s something amazing about being able to hold something in your hand – like how an image on your computer can disappear in a flash, but a physical photograph is unique and permanent. Today, we’re going to show you how to bring your Sculpting creations to life with the power of 3D printing, from bits to atoms in five easy steps.

What was your favorite moment of 2013? With the new year in full swing, our latest video highlights the biggest milestones along our journey. On Developer Labs, discover how to develop simultaneously for native and web platforms with Node-Webkit, and look under the hood of Diplopia, a game designed to help people suffering from cross-eye.

Touchless rocket design, robotic controls, massive art exhibits, live musical performances – it’s been an amazing year at Leap Motion. When we launched on July 22, we could scarcely imagine how our developer community would be able to use our SDK to build the next generation of 3D apps.

Happy holidays! In the spirit of the season, rediscover wonder and unwrap the Universe of Sound on Developer Labs. Plus, reach into touchless interaction with the Internet of Things and think about 3D app design with Lotus creator Eddie Lee. This week’s newsletter also features outdoor Christmas lights with Leap Motion color control, an Arduino-driven laser […]

At last month’s App Developers Conference (ADC), Funktronic Labs founder Eddie Lee discussed a variety of best practices for 3D input and hand motion controllers like the Leap Motion Controller. Lee is the creator of Lotus and Kyoto – free experimental Airspace games that feature stunning visuals and fluid interaction design. During the talk, he breaks down the […]
