Hello Shabaz, great intro, thank you. It is the worth I will put my hands on this technology as I have some time. It seems very promising for a lot of possibilities.

Hi Shabaz,

I’ve searched around for SBCs having AMD or Intel. But looks like most of them own ARM and LattePanda is the best solution i guess because it has Intel cpu and running Win10 on it. But I’m being confused why do you need to setup a virtual machine on window to work with leapmotion ? I thought leap motion is working better with window even there is a newest sdk version on Window.

Thanks

Thanks Shabaz for your quick response!

This is the solution https://monicagranbois.com/blog/raspberrypi/error-package-architecture-arm-does-not-match-system-armhf/

I’m following but I still got some issues with dependency libs so I’m not sure it work or not. Just in case it doesn’t work so could you recommend me other alternative SBCs that’s working well with Leap motion! Thanks in advance and highly appreciate.

Nice find, but without the processing being onboard, it requires the grunt of something else.

Any figures on what sort of load it places on the processor.?

Hi Shabaz,

Great post. The Leap Motion controller looks interesting. It is definitely an amazing little device.

Shabaz, thanks for sharing this post with us. I have been thinking about purchasing this controller for some time. I have even mentioned it as a desired product for Road Test.

Shabaz,

Very nice write-up. This is very cool and very promising technology.

I was working at a company that built a ZigBee wireless lighting and control system. One of the major issues with the system was commissioning the system and understanding the topology of the overall system. One of the technologies that we investigated was a camera based to system, that would determine which fixture was being 'pointed' at and then other gestures to allow the user to 'connect' fixtures into groups with that fixture. As promising as video appeared, it also suffered from background interference and difficulty in consistently seeing the gestures. Hopefully Leap Motion is making progress over the systems that we looked at.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Shabaz, a great article as always. I imediately went out and bought one to have a play!

I think the tech isnt really there at the moment but it's good to get in and see what it's about as the tech develops!
