How To Install

Installing artoo with leapmotion support is pretty easy using ruby gems.

gem install artoo-leapmotion

How To Use

This small program uses a Leap Motion to detect the user's hand position

require 'artoo'

connection :leapmotion, :adaptor => :leapmotion, :port => '127.0.0.1:6437'
device :leapmotion, :driver => :leapmotion

work do
  on leapmotion, :open => :on_open
  on leapmotion, :frame => :on_frame
  on leapmotion, :close => :on_close
end

def on_open(*args)
  puts args
end

def on_frame(*args)
  frame = args[1]
  puts frame
  puts frame.hands
  puts frame.gestures
  puts frame.pointables
end

def on_close(*args)
  puts args
end

How To Connect

OSX

This driver works out of the box with the vanilla installation of the Leap Motion Software that you get in their Setup Guide.

The main steps are:

• Run Leap Motion.app to open a websocket connection in port 6437.
• Connect your Computer and Leap Motion Controller.
• Connect to the device via Artoo.

Ubuntu

The Linux download of the Leap Motion software can be obtained from Leap Motion Dev Center (requires free signup)

The main steps are:
