Leap Motion Controller

TMThe world’s leading hand tracking technology
The Leap Motion Controller from Ultraleap is an optical hand tracking module that captures the movement ofusers’ hands and fingers so they can interact naturally with digital content. Small, fast, and accurate, the Leap
Motion Controller can be used for productivity applications with Windows computers, integrated into enterprisegrade hardware solutions or displays, or attached to virtual/augmented reality headsets for AR/VR/XR prototyping,
research, and development.
The controller is capable of tracking hands within a 3D interactive zone that extends up to 60cm (24”) or more,extending from the device in a 140x120° typical field of view. Leap Motion‘s software is able to discern 27 distinct
hand elements, including bones and joints, and track them even when they are obscured by other parts of thehand.
An accessory component, the VR Developer Mount (https://www.ultraleap.com/product/vr-developer-mount/),
allows for easy, reliable, and consistent attachment of the device to virtual reality headsets such as the Oculus Riftand HTC Vive. The Leap Motion App Gallery features 75+ legacy desktop applications and a demo suite for virtualreality.

Example applications•

Touchless public interfaces (interactive kiosks, digital out-of-home,elevators)
Entertainment (location-based VR/AR experiences, arcades,amusement parks)
Healthcare (stroke rehabilitation, training, mirror, medical imaging,lazy eye treatment)
Therapy and education (anatomic visualizations, hands-on learning)
Personnel training (flight simulators, complex computer systems)
Industrial design and engineering (automotive, assembly lines,
facilities management)
Robotics (telepresence, robotic controls, AI-assisted teaching)•

Remote collaboration••••••
The Leap Motion Controller features a 140×120°
field of view and an interactive tracking range of up
to 60cm (24”) or more.

Robust and safety compliant
The Leap Motion Controller is certified compliant to safety and electrical regulatory standards. Its robustness andexternal certification enable commercial projects, including sterile environments.

Easy to integrate and use
The Leap Motion Controller is designed for simple integration into customer applications and can be retro-fitted toexisting concepts or hardware.
••

Plugins for Unity and Unreal enable developers working with two leading 3D development platforms toincorporate hand tracking into their established workflow.
Our TouchFree application detects a user’s hand in mid-air and converts it to an on-screen cursor, allowing
touchscreen interfaces to be retrofitted with touchless gesture control.
