MatplotLeap

Plotting the hand using a Leap Motion, and other data science tasks.

After getting Leap Motion up and running with a SWIG wrapper:

# Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
sudo leapd
# Open a seperate terminal
python3 plot_hand.py

By default plot_hand saves all the gathered data in all_points.csv.
These can be animated and shown using python3 animate_saved.py.

Windows Support

resources/Windows includes a LeapSDK generated for Python 3.8 and Orion 4.1.0

If python3.8 is not your base install of windows, you may need to install a separate version.
For example you can install python 3.8.9 here.
You can install it in a virtualenv, see tutorial.

For use with Ubuntu, see the Ubuntu branch for the last tested Ubuntu version.
