Leap Motion

I mentioned a presentation I gave in Singapore a few weeks that talked about integrating Kinect and Leap Motion with AutoCAD. After the session I had a good conversation (in person and then by email) with Nagappan Nachiappan. Nagappan is a talented young software engineer working on AutoCAD's JavaScript API, but has a strong interest […]

I'm currently in Boston for an internal technical summit where I'll be presenting sessions on Kinect Fusion and Leap Motion (which will the sessions I've submitted - and will hopefully get accepted - for AU 2013). I arrived a day early and rented a bicycle from the hotel, taking the opportunity to cycle through the […]

I arrived back safely in Switzerland on Saturday night. It was a pretty good trip to the Bay Area, this time: most surprisingly this is the first time ever I've managed to sleep through until 6am (or thereabouts) on every single day of a trip to California. But then I – like many people – […]

It's been a good week for gadgets. Aside from getting a Netduino and some additional accessories through the post, I also received a newer version of the Leap Motion controller. The last one I had was a 0.4 version (at least that's what was written on the box) and the new one is a 0.6.5. […]

It's been a fun week of blogging about the Leap Motion controller, but now it's finally time to Leap to a conclusion (groan). We started the week by introducing the device and we then used it to navigate models, interact with AutoCAD commands and draw 3D geometry. Today's post is an attempt to summarise the […]

After cranking out a post per day so far this week on my exploratory integration of AutoCAD with the Leap Motion controller, it's time to wrap up the technical portion of my "Leap Week" (a bit like a Leap Year, geddit? 😉 with a nice, juicy topic: creating 3D geometry inside AutoCAD using the Leap […]

After introducing Leap Motion and seeing some code to make view changes inside AutoCAD, now it's time to start thinking about geometry creation. We'll see two different approaches to compare and contrast. The first – covered in today's post – is a very generic integration at the Windows Message-level: as the user's hand hovers over […]

Now that we've introduced the Leap Motion controller, it's time to do something interesting with it. [If you want to cut to the chase, scroll down to the bottom of the post for a video of the results.] The team at Leap Motion has provided a very decent set of language options via the controller's […]

I've been alluding somewhat vaguely (and sometimes more specifically) to an interesting integration project I've been working on recently. The project is to integrate the Leap Motion controller into AutoCAD, to explore the possibilities of this device. For those of you who haven't yet heard about the Leap Motion controller, this could well be the […]
