Updated set of Leap Motion samples available

I've been beavering away in an attempt to streamline the AutoCAD-Leap Motion integration samples I posted last week. Here's the updated project.

This latest set generally gets better results than the last ones, and the LEAPEXT command certainly feels more snappy and accurate. I'm still trying to find out why the controller occasionally stops seeing my fingers – it could well be down to lighting or to the fact I'm using a Plexiglas surface about the device – but I'll keep looking into it.

I know it's still likely to be a month or so before most of you get your hands on a device (assuming you have the interest to do so), but I thought I'd keep on posting the samples as I update them, anyway.

A little bird tells me there's a pretty good chance I'll be at AU 2013 presenting on Leap Motion and Kinect Fusion (two separate sessions), during which a descendant of the above samples are likely to make an appearance.

  1. I've received recently my LM and i'm pretty interested to use it with AutoCAD 2013. I found your project but i have a question, how does it work? I mean, how to install it?

    Kind Regards

  2. Hi Fran,

    You would need to build the project using either Visual Studio or Visual C# Express (loading the .SLN and then resolving a few project references, pointing them to the location AutoCAD has been installed to) and then NETLOAD the resulting .DLL into AutoCAD.

    Regards,
