This is hella exciting! I'm definitely in the I tried leapmotion and sadly doesnt work well for my setup camp. I'm currently using Kemorig with another ARKit app (that does not track hands) on my device. Would be huge if I could add even minimal hand tracking.

Made a thingie. Adjustable leapmotion mount to go on low profile microphone arms. Works for v1 too, all the same mount but a different cage to hold the tracker

leapmotion x max x operator & wavetable x drums

wait leapmotion has issues on linux? I've had very few on arch so far, even with the software being EOL at this point
(it just tends to overheat a lot)

Thanks! I used a 3D model of Cantio by Jackpot as a ref to start from, using a leapmotion to capture my hands. It was a big benefit for getting the timing how I wanted it

For those unaware, hand tracking is an incredibly niche field. Most devices for it were built by Ultraleap/Leapmotion which is now a defunct company. These things aren't being made while the patents behind them rot away.

Tech specs from a doc I found, corrections my own X3.

Today on things I never thought would happen, I managed to buy a Leapmotion 2 off of my buddy @rowlga.inversetiger.ca! THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN

My Leapmotion 1 has had issues with spastic tracking and this is the EXACT solution I've been hunting for the past couple of years. Can't believe it's real!

Leapmotion for DCS only works if you play in VR BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I want to flip people off without having half the framerate and worse visuals BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ive sorted a headtracker for it and I gotta get the leapmotion out of storage and velcro it on the front to use it to track my hands. Meaning I will be able to flip switches and also flip people off.

Just to double check, is this an original LeapMotion 1 or one of the later models?

Like I've been using LeapMotion for five years and gone through so many configurations

I cackled at "phantom handjob" so thanks for tagging me in this!

LeapMotion is infrared, not B/W but it is still image based so can be confused by things that are vaguely arm or hand shaped. In this case whatever that object is below your keyboard.

I see, I wear my leapmotion around my neck using a necklace I 3D printed, so the detection of my hands is always in front of me. One thing I will say is to make sure you use a 3.0 USB-C with enough data transfer, when I was using an older cable I had similar issues :(

What makes LeapMotion trash? Only asking since I've been using the Leap2 for years and never had any issues with it aside from having some driver issues once.
August 25, 2026 at 7:22 AM
LeapMotion is trash and I think they sold the company because they couldn't figure out how to make it not suck

Repost because the previous one messed up the pictures.
So, on stream I designed a mount for #LeapMotion to be mounted on a camera or mic stand.
Now you can get it here!
(don't mind mine, I dropped it so a piece broke off)

You can use VR controllers but I found it annoying to use in combo with my stick. You can use a leapmotion in combo with a VR headset to have your hands rendered properly and push stuff using the extra depth perception you get. I could do that, but I don't like it compared to a headtracker.

is this how i'm gonna learn what a leapmotion is
August 21, 2026 at 12:21 AM
Is that the Leapmotion 2? I’ve got a bit of a uh

Different solution for my version 1.

I’m using Warudo/Vnyan spouting into OBS. My phone captures my facial expressions, and my Leapmotion is recording my hands.

Granted that means having to have the model transcribed into the appropriate file time and rigged for either Warudo, Vnyan or VseeFace 🤔

What I can do with my Vtuber, my iPhone with its face tracker, and a 45 dollar Leapmotion. 🤔

That leapmotion was worth it just for that.

Remember when we needed special hardware like the Kinect or the LeapMotion to make body language interfaces for games and apps in Snap!? AI has gotten rid of the hardware, now all you need is a device with a webcam!
