  • get a hand in a handlist thanks to hand ID
  • Check if the hand get is left or right
  • get the number of hand detected
  • check if HandList is empty or not
  • check if a hand is left or right hand
  • check if the hand is valid or not
  • get the palm position, normal and velocity
  • get the confidence level in the given hand pose
  • get the direction from palm to fingers
  • get the grabStrength

22/05:

  • Get the translation of hand between two frames
  • Get a factor of translation probability
  • Get the matrix for hand basis
  • Get the palm width
  • Get the pinch strength
  • Get the rotation angle between two frames
  • Get the rotation angle between two frames in an axis
  • Get a factor of rotation probability
  • Get the sphere center contain by hand pose

Wow! is pretty awesome! Thanks mate…I was looking for something like this.

Awesome, I’m considering buying a leap and your plugin will be really helpful.

4

Any idea if you’ll update it to the current v2 sdk? I would really like to use something similar to this.
The raw image data is a must but it would be great to expose the rest as well.

I am talking with the LM team to get a mount for my DK2. Once that comes in, I want to give your plugin a try. I’m really excited to play around with their features.

It’s so close to …

To be perfectly honest, we looked at the LM mount and immediately realised it was a waste of time. We’re currently using a length of Velcro to attach the LM to the Rift, and its working perfectly. (you can also run the USB from the Leap through the DK2’s own USB feed, provided you connect the phantom power)

I was also using velcro… but since I have a 3d printer, the .stl files were release so I just printed one… https://grabcad.com/library/leap-motion-vr-developer-mount-1

Exciting! ~

Hey, plugin - are you planning to expose the image capture functions on the Leap? It would be insanely useful to get the video feed from the Leap camera into Unreal in some form or another…

Hi !

When i try to install your plugin : It said that The plugin ‘LeapMotion’ Failed to load because module ‘LeapMotion’ Could not be found …
It place the plugin into Engine / Plugnins

Thx

( For Marc : Tu peux me répondre en francais je pense que ça ira plus vite pour toi )

Is plug in dead?

Made a fork https://github.com/getnamo/leap-ue4 updated to UE4.5. commit retains MarcW’s architecture, albeit with slightly different installation instructions which mirrors how it’s setup in my other plugins.

If you want to use the event driven architecture check out the fork thread.
