Leap Motion (+ geco)

Hello all,

Has anyone tried to integrate 3D sensors (eg. Leap Motion) in Mod Duo ?
Here are some examples of what you can do with leap motion + eco which converts gestures in midi CC :

That would be really great (at least for me).
Leap Motion Libraries are available for linux

Really interesting! Thanks for sharing :wink:

@DrKoma let us know what you manage to get and if you need some help

Hey :slight_smile:
So at first glance , the web is full of articles related to this ( Leapmotion + raspberry pi) , and they all use some workaround to make it work outside of the arm arch.
The sdk and the API looks like a no go on arm .

But , will try this tiny experimental thing https://github.com/leapmotion/leapuvc

Considering this lines:

The bundled firmware updating binaries, which are required to unlock LeapUVC access, must be executed on a Windows machine. The included Python Examples have been tested on Windows and Linux; Mac is not currently supported. Since this is experimental software, use it at your own risk.

Lets see when I find sometime , another alternative would be to develop a middle thing using a microcontroller I bet .
