Leap Motion - Is it still good in 2021?

[@HeadRedShot]

my dad got me and my brother this when it got released. we never used it again. it felt like such a revolutionary thing and the hand tracking felt incredible. too bad it never caught on

[@chizec7588]

What you didnt say is that developers actually dont have a native driver to get it working with steamvr, but your revew is dope good job dude.

[@OfficialKrale]

Hi there, I am sorry that I missed that part. I tried doing my best on the research to it's fully potential but thanks for heads up! :)

[@jacobperovich1051]

Question. Is there additional software needed in order to do normal web browsing? Left and right click scrolling up and down etc

[@rothauspils123]

We are thinking of buying this for our conference room. What do I need to do to get this working with a large conference room monitor? For controlling power point presentations, showing pictures, videos and pdfs? Is a software needed for controlling the monitor or does it just emulate a mouse?

[@rubberduckx9112]

What software do you use for the mouse function like scrolling and all?

[@thatlosergirlfromnextdoor2039]

I bought one last year but dropped it so many times I might buy a new one. I just bought the quest 2 recently I didn’t know you could use both

[@fluxpistol3608]

Actually actual actually actually useful actually

[@industone]

I bought it 8 years ago. and... it is in my desk drawer.

[@OfficialKrale]

What purpose did you need it for?

[@industone]

@@OfficialKrale instead of mouse. But I have tremor little bit

[@shingles1465]

getting one for my theater pc setup that way I can select whatever I want without having to use my keyboard for movies designing my theater system to handle vr and movies

[@OfficialKrale]

Sounds like a lovely idea! 😁

[@danekunderhill4812]

Same here;)

[@danekunderhill4812]

I've had mine since day dot and used it for two seconds. But I shall be soon

[@danekunderhill4812]

Lol originally it was for my Star Citizen build... Fingers crossed!

[@OfficialKrale]

@@danekunderhill4812 Keep me updated, would love to know how it works out for you

[@leslie1526]

When will it be available as native Apple M1 computers?

[@OfficialKrale]

Hi Leslie, The Apple M1 is not a computer. The Apple M1 is a solid CPU (Central Processing Unit) aka a component inside a computer created by Apple which does not have any interference with the Leap Motion Controller. I hope this answered your question. ~ Official Krale

[@87MockingOwl]

u think is possible to add an extension usb cable so un can walk around with your headset? also what type of usb this device use? i can clearly see a normal port on one side...but what about the port on the device it self? thx for the video.

[@OfficialKrale]

Hi MockingOwl, It first of all depends on what headset/VR you are using. For the port it is a USB 3.0. Hopefully this helped you a lot 😇

[@87MockingOwl]

@@OfficialKrale sorry for my bad eng , i was referring to the ultraleap device

[@OfficialKrale]

@@87MockingOwl Did you mean with headset the Leap Motion, an actual headset or a VR System?

[@87MockingOwl]

@@OfficialKrale so sorry xD yes i have a reverb G2 and i would like to know if the ultraleap device use a special usb port because i would like to buy "eventually" an extension cable for it so i could walk around with my VR headset + the ultraleap device. sorry for the confusion man ..really sorry

[@OfficialKrale]

@@87MockingOwl If you get a extender for a 3.0 USB that’s all you need. 😊

[@ScorpioKing3000]

Will this work with the first Oculus Quest and can I use it while my link cable is plugged into the computer because that the only way I could play my SteamVR games such as Half Life Alyx & Boneworks.

[@etherealhawk]

I use this setup but Leap Motion integration with SteamVR isn't native and is quite temperamental

[@kharinniuchoapereira4885]

Thanks. I bought it and I'm going to start using it in Rehabilitation

[@jacobperovich1051]

How did it go? Looking to do the same for web browsing

[@Veptis]

A gimmick I bought years ago, did have fun with all the tech demos back in the day - but never used it for anything proper. I don't have a VR system, but if I do get one... I would look into the Project North Star from David Holz As well. there is a 2nd gen hardware sensor as well that performs much better, meant for embedded systems. Another use case I can see one day is input for either digital music instruments or as a 6 axis controller for doing color grading.

[@OfficialKrale]

Those sound like some interesting plans to be honest! 😊 keep me informed

[@unevenlab2277]

Ehy man, nice video and thanks for give us you opinion, may I ask you if you tried leap motion with autocad or blender or any other 3d modelling software? in your opinion could it be great to work with 3D softwares? for example i read that you can rotate things while you are modelling a scene or sculpting a character so you can have a plus in fast in your creations , but is it "confortable" to use? I mean ok for gamers or vr devs...but for 3D developers or 3D artists it is good to be used? Thank you!

[@OfficialKrale]

Hi there!, So the Leap Motion is indeed used for modelling or sculpting characters. This device is definitely something to get your hands on if you are into sculpting or modeling. However, it is not as accurate as a bit more of a expensive sensor regarding it being focused on those two categories (Sculpting/Modeling). It is definitely something to try out and to see if it works for you. The device can be used for Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine and such! I hope to have informed you well enough! :)

[@unevenlab2277]

​@@OfficialKrale thank you! is it clear that is could be a great solution indeed for modeler, organic stuff that are not o symmetric or regular in details... i don't think it could be good for hard surfaces or environmental like architectures or furnitures... maybe i'm wrong but i think that it isn't so precise as a mouse... :) btw i will see...maybe i will test it in the future..

[@OfficialKrale]

@@unevenlab2277 When I read your comment I can definitely understand where you are coming from. However, a hard surface or not I think it would be something personal where people have several opinions. I have not tried it myself so I can't guarantee you a definitive answer but I'd like to see someone try it one day! ;)

[@gilagassi]

Hi. I have the oculus quest 2 VR headset. If I connect it to pc via oculus link cable will I be able to use the Leap Motion controller? What hand tracking experiences are there for this device and where can I find them?

[@OfficialKrale]

Hi there Gil, The Leap Motion controller can be used with any VR System. It connects to your computer by cable and the difference it makes is that you won’t have to use your VR controllers. An example is that the controllers from the Oculus Rift Quest or S limits you to your hand gestures where the Leap Motion makes it possible to use all your fingers like the Valve Index. Let me know if you need some more information.

[@gilagassi]

@@OfficialKrale what is their website to purchase this product? Thanks.

[@OfficialKrale]

@@gilagassi search up Leap Motion from Motion Sense

[@CharveL88]

You already have hand tracking with a Quest 2 so it kind of makes Leap a bit redundant in this case.

[@16-bitpotato9]

will the leap motion work for valve index steam games such as half life alyx and boneworks?

[@OfficialKrale]

Hi Jonah, The leap motion works with any VR System. The only problem that can occur is that some games don’t support Leap Motion. (most do though) so don’t worry 🙏

[@jbognar222]

[@alwaysyouramanda]

Considering how old this tech is getting, I’m a bit shocked at what’s being put out with the headsets. Smol brain though, maybe I’m missing something. I’m definitely missing something.

[@alwaysyouramanda]

We should be outsourcing the research to teen science project participants.

[@alwaysyouramanda]

Remember the kid that created a nuclear reactor in his backyard and cleared out an entire neighborhood-!? 😂😂

[@OfficialKrale]

@@alwaysyouramanda I honestly have no clue what you are talking about 😂

[@nat0106951]

Its only best For Fruit Ninja back then 😅

[@gilagassi]

I got my leap motion controller. It is great with the oculus quest 2 but gets very hot very quickly

[@OfficialKrale]

Hi there, You shouldn’t have to worry about that. The sensors tend to get hot since it has to do continuous tracking (Also depending how long you use the product of course). Hopefully that answered your question 😇 I might do another review on the product

[@Daniel-wn4yj]

Hi. You need this with oculus 2?. Oculus Quest 2 has hands recognition or not?. Sorry my english
