Comfortable use of Leap
Place the Leap Motion Controller on your desk where it's comfortable to use.
Relax your shoulders. If standing or sitting high in a chair, hold your elbows near your side, and keep
your forearms parallel to the floor and at a right angle from your body. If sitting at usual desk height,
you can rest your elbows or forearms on your desk, but not on a sharp edge. Hold your hands just
above the device, your wrist and hands in roughly a straight line

Microsoft Kinect Issues:
The device is large
A dedicated power cord is required
The amount of data generated by the sensor also tends to saturate
a USB controller
Kinect cannot easily distinguish individual fingers on a hand
Most of the features listed above require the Microsoft SDK, which
is only supported for desktop applications on Windows 7 and 8.
Which to choose? ALL
Microsoft Kinect
Advantages:
• Skeletal tracking
• Face tracking
• Multiple sensors:
• Raw data
• Voice control
Best for:
Kiosks, installations, and digital signage projects where the user will be
standing fairly far away from the display.
35. Template designed by
Leap Motion Issues:
Sensing range is fairly limited.
Only fingers are tracked.
There is no skeleton or face tracking.
No access to the raw sensor data.
Which to choose? ALL
Leap Motion Advantages:
• Finger tracking is fast and
accurate.
• Smaller and less expensive
• Framework support: .NET,
Processing, Cinder, etc.
• Compatible: Mac OS and
Windows.
Best for:
Controlled kiosk environments with a pointing-based UI.
Generally best for general audience desktop apps which can be distributed in the Airspace
store.

Intel Issues:
Getting some of the deeper features (like age and gender
detection) to work is a bit tricky.
Device and software are in beta.
Due to the close range of the tracking system, hand
gestures must be designed such that a user’s hand doesn’t
occlude their own view of the display.
Which to choose? ALL
Intel Advantages:
• Smaller and less expensive
• Close-range tracking
• Hand posture/gesture recognition
• Facial analysis
• Speech (built-in support for speech
synthesis powered by Nuance).
• Raw data
• Framework support: Processing, Unity
and OpenFrameworks
Best for:
Desktop/laptop applications where the user will be seated in front of the PC.
Close range applications where features, apart from hand tracking and recognition, are
necessary without too much precision or accuracy.
