Anybody is working with Leap Motion?
I’ve been doing some tests with it, yes:

I’m currently using LeapOSC to get the data into TouchDesigner. A real CHOP would be great, but my test version isn’t working yet.
The Yes nice.
I am very curious, so I signed up in the developer program Leap Motion and now I would like to use ’ in a project with TD.
Could you tell me where to start to make the Leap Motion connection with TD?
Thank you.
You could use the osc program I mentioned above or write your own DLL. Leap does technically have a Python API but there’s a version incompatibility issue.
New version of leapOSC just released - now with gesture support!
Still waiting on mine!
New test using a C++ Chop, some volumetric lighting effects, and recording/playback.
Hello, guys.
Reached my Leap Motion but I do not know where to start.
I would like some tips to make it work properly with TD.
Downloaded the latest version of leapOSC that was stated above.
github.com/morphiccreative/leapOSC
How do I configure Leap Motion with this leapOSC at TD?
Can anyone help me?
Have you gotten the developer tests working? Read through the documentation that comes with the SDK, make sure you’ve got the Leap Motion working with the official tests.
Then you run the Leap driver application, LeapOSC, and Touch.
Add an OSC In Chop and set the in port to 7000.
Hello, momothemonster, thanks for the tips, were all very helpful.
Now that Leap is working together with TD I am noting that the system is incredibly slow when LeapOSC v 0.5 is enabled.
Work with a Macbook Intel Core i7-3615QM CPU 2.30 GHz memory 8 GB
Windows 7 64-bit.
Has some configuration able to reduce this load is being generated?
Maybe on the Touch Designer I can do something to improve this, but am very still lay to achieve alone.
Thank you.
I just received my Leap Motion a few days ago, so I haven’t had the opportunity to really dive in yet. However, I have noticed that while running the base Orientation program, the CPU load on my 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 is over 30%. In other words, due to the sensor lacking any onboard processing, it is quite a little CPU hog.
Ok so here are my initial thoughts on Leap.
First off, it’s great for pointing and so on with one finger and super accurate which is pretty amazing BUT…
It loses its finger tracking a lot, theres a few times you’ll pinch and it’ll just lose the finger so it’s a constant battle of throwing checks in to try and falsely keep the track active. Also due to the position of the sensor a lot of the time the users hand will hide their fingers so unless you have your fingers achingly far outstretched it will lose them all the time for certain gestures. I’ve created some interesting things with it but to really push the potential it’d be great to put the sensor further forward and angle it back, unfortunately due to the way it tracks this will not work. I even printed myself a little stand for it to test it properly but…nevermind, I guess if the software was a little bit better it might be able to get around this.
Has anyone got any tips for keeping fingers tracked and generally not having your data screw up every time a user moves their hand in the slightest wrong way (bearing in mind we’re thinking of joe public using this not just us leap-savvy folks)
Hello,
How did you create the volumetric lighting effects. 
I am working a few days to create a effect like these whitout succes.
Is there a example tox how its works.
Thanks a lot.
