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

Hello, This week on Developer Labs, we’re showing you how the Leap Motion Controller is reaching new places – from major retailers to the operating room. Plus, a round of framework updates, more thoughts on menu design, a robotic hand, touchless LED color control, and animating hand gestures in Autodesk Maya.

Last month, we heard from Dr. Guillermo Rosa, who made Leap Motion history at his family’s private dental practice in Resistencia, Argentina. As the first person to use the Leap Motion Controller during dental implant surgery, Dr. Rosa is also the first person ever confirmed to use our technology under sterile operating conditions for a […]

Hello, This week’s newsletter features a historic moment for our platform – thanks to a new micro sensor, the first computer embedded with Leap Motion technology will soon be available. We also have some insights on menu design and usability on Developer Labs. In community news, we have several great videos to share – including […]

Over the past two months, I’ve been impressed with the variety and creativity of Leap Motion-enabled applications we’re seeing in Airspace, as well as the responses we’ve received from our users. We’ve been listening and one thing our users want more of is – wait for it – consistency! Especially when it comes to application […]

Today on the Leap Motion blog, we’ve featured 7 visual experiments created by our developer community. Last week, we caught up with creative developer Rom, who designed the interactive LED wall and architectural model in the videos below. 1. What inspired you to integrate physical models with the Leap Motion Controller? The Leap Motion Controller […]

Hello, This week, we hear from a developer who has been using the Leap Motion Controller to create interactive physical models. In other news, we have LeapTrainer.js v0.2, a new quadrotor simulator, a rope physics game prototype, and a soccer game model controlled from a custom-built Leap Motion stand. Plus, a Leap Motion video that […]

Hi, Today’s newsletter features some highlights from the first-ever official Leap Developers Meetup in San Francisco. We also have the first confirmed use of the Leap Motion Controller under sterile operating conditions for human surgery, an inside look at our community teams, and how Elon Musk and SpaceX are using 3D interaction to design rocket […]

Last week, Leap Motion held their first developer meetup at the popular 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. The event marked the beginning of an ongoing monthly series that gives our team a chance to have face-to-face time with developers in the local community. We recently released v1.0 of our developer SDK, so we thought […]

Working with thousands of highly talented and creative people is an essential part of what makes us tick. Our Developer Relations and Developer Program teams work with the Leap Motion developer community to provide support and knowledge about our platform, and with individual developers to help bring their apps to the world. Meet Avi and […]

Elon Musk and SpaceX want to take humanity to other planets. To help make that dream a reality, the real-life inspiration for Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man has been using the Leap Motion Controller to design a rocket part prototype using hand gestures. It’s a truly new experience for the pioneering company, bringing together cutting-edge aerospace engineering with our Leap Motion Controller.
