The video posted below demonstrates what how the leap motion looks in the world builder application. My next step will to be to start adding gestures to manipulate the object that the user makes. I expect it to be a challenge to have the leap motion correctly detect all five fingers, so gestures will need to use 1-3 fingers. (Video to come in the next hour, free Vimeo accounts make you wait to “convert” the file).

The first gesture I want to implement is this:

And heres the documentation: https://developer.leapmotion.com/documentation/python/api/Leap.CircleGesture.html

I think this would be one of the easier gestures to test because it has a starting point with one finger and an ending point with one finger. By just using one finger it will be easier to test implement as opposed to using multiple fingers for a gesture.

I will be updating this post through out the week with my progress.

And heres a cool video I found on dynamic shape display just for fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EkkTV51Pg0
