Exploring leap motion integration with Zspace

For my independent study project, I am interested in adding an additional input to the ZSpace, called Leap Motion. The ZSpace is a holographic display  and allows the user to manipulate the object (via a stylus) in the virtual environment as if the object were right in front of them. By integrating the Leap Motion device, I hope to bring a more natural way to manipulate the object by using both hands.

Specific hand gestures are still being though of, but I envision that the Leap Motion could also draw objects it self via the index finger.

Kevin Mitchell is an undergraduate at UW-Madison studying Computer Science. He is currently working on a project integrating a Leap Motion controller with a ZSpace screen. He expects this to increase the users ability to manipulate an object in 3d space. During his free time Kevin enjoys exploring everything that has to do with web development. He is hoping to find a career that will both fit his love for technology and design.
