Library for capturing and playing back 3D hand movements using the Leap Motion and THREE JS
Project for 2014 Google Science Fair and Synopsys Science & Technology Championship by Ajay Ramesh - Junior at Summit San Jose High School.
leapcap.js is still in early stages of development, but will soon be ready for use. It is in a working state right now and can be used like this:
###Usage###
Include the necessary libraries in your HTML:
<script src="libs/three.min.js"></script>
<script src="libs/leap.min.js"></script>
<script src="leapcap.js"></script>
Initialize with one function, passing in the element you want the WebGL renderer to reside. For example:
LeapCap.initLeapCap({'scene':document.body});
The ThreeJS render window will size itself to the size of your scene element.
NOTE: jQuery is not a dependency for LeapcapJS, but it can be used to initialize the DOM.
LeapCap.initLeapCap({'scene':$('#scene_div')});
Accessible functions for LeapCap. You may bind these to buttons, keyboard events, etc.
LeapCap.record() //starts to capture frames
LeapCap.play() //plays back captured frames
LeapCap.play(savedFrames) //plays back a saved array of captured frames, retrieved using LeapCap.getSavedFrames()
LeapCap.clearFrames() //deletes captured frames
LeapCap.getSavedFrames() //returns an array of saved motion data.
File with full implementation can be found in leapcap_sample.html.
###Todo###
- Better reporting for exposed functions (ie: isConnected, isPlaying, isRecording, stoppedRecord, etc)
- Better error reporting from the Leap
- Give complete control over the canvas
