What is leap motion

The heart of a hand tracking device is two cameras and some infrared LEDs. The LEDs illuminate your hands with infrared light. You can't see it, but our sensors can.

The LEDs pulse in sync with the camera framerate. Every time they do this the cameras send data back to the computer to track your hands. Our software uses the images to generate a virtual model of your hand movements. We model not just your palm or fingertips, but the joints and bones inside your hand. The virtual models of your hand movements are fed into the Ultraleap Interaction Engine. The Interaction Engine provides a unified physical interaction paradigm.

Grabbing, swiping, pushing, pinching … they all become as effortless as they are in the real world. Our software makes digital interaction human.
