LeapJS Logo

Welcome to the Leap Motion JavaScript framework.

  console.log(frame.hands.length);
});

Learn more in the Getting Started Guide, and the API Reference.

Examples

Visit developer.leapmotion.com/gallery/category/javascript for the latest examples.

Some more basic examples have also been included in the examples/ directory.

Plugins

Plugins are used to modularly extend Leap Webapps with external libraries. Here we use the screenPosition plugin to get the position of the hand as an on-screen cursor.

Leap.loop({

  hand: function(hand){
    console.log( hand.screenPosition() );
  }

}).use('screenPosition');

Misc

LeapJS includes the vector math library GL-Matrix for your use and convenience. For example, we can easily compute a dot product. See the example and the gl matrix docs for more info.

var dot = Leap.vec3.dot(hand.direction, hand.indexFinger.direction);

Also visit the wiki for how to make plugins, protocol guide, and other stuff.
