This is the AS3 framework for working with the Leap.
Leap Motion is a motion-control software and hardware company developing the world's most powerful and sensitive 3D motion-control and motion-sensing technology.
Clone the repo, git clone git://github.com/logotype/LeapMotionAS3.git.
Create an instance of the LeapMotion class:
leap = new LeapMotion();
leap.controller.addEventListener( LeapEvent.LEAPMOTION_INIT, onInit );
leap.controller.addEventListener( LeapEvent.LEAPMOTION_CONNECTED, onConnect );
leap.controller.addEventListener( LeapEvent.LEAPMOTION_DISCONNECTED, onDisconnect );
leap.controller.addEventListener( LeapEvent.LEAPMOTION_EXIT, onExit );
leap.controller.addEventListener( LeapEvent.LEAPMOTION_FRAME, onFrame );
What you'll get from the LEAPMOTION_FRAME handler is a Frame instance, with strongly
typed properties such as Hands, Pointables, Direction, Gestures and more:
private function onFrame( event:LeapEvent ):void
{
// Get the most recent frame and report some basic information
var frame:Frame = event.frame;
trace( "Frame id: " + frame.id + ", timestamp: " + frame.timestamp + ", hands: " + frame.hands.length + ", fingers: " + frame.fingers.length + ", tools: " + frame.tools.length );
if ( frame.hands.length > 0 )
{
// Get the first hand
var hand:Hand = frame.hands[ 0 ];
// Check if the hand has any fingers
var fingers:Vector.<Finger> = hand.fingers;
if ( fingers.length > 0 )
{
// Calculate the hand's average finger tip position
var avgPos:Vector3 = Vector3.zero();
for each ( var finger:Finger in fingers )
avgPos = avgPos.plus( finger.tipPosition );
avgPos = avgPos.divide( fingers.length );
trace( "Hand has " + fingers.length + " fingers, average finger tip position: " + avgPos );
}
// Get the hand's sphere radius and palm position
trace( "Hand sphere radius: " + hand.sphereRadius + " mm, palm position: " + hand.palmPosition );
// Get the hand's normal vector and direction
var normal:Vector3 = hand.palmNormal;
var direction:Vector3 = hand.direction;
// Calculate the hand's pitch, roll, and yaw angles
trace( "Hand pitch: " + LeapUtil.toDegrees( direction.pitch ) + " degrees, " + "roll: " + LeapUtil.toDegrees( normal.roll ) + " degrees, " + "yaw: " + LeapUtil.toDegrees( direction.yaw ) + " degrees\n" );
}
}
Optionally, you can simply call leap.frame() e.g. in your main loop, or implement the Listener interface for callbacks.
You can use this library on both web and AIR projects. If you are using it on an AIR for Desktop project, you can take advantage of the AIR Native Extension.
Download the ane-file and place it somewhere in your project (preferably in the directory where you would put your swc files). Link the ane file to your project:
####Flash Builder 4.7
- Right click on your AIR for desktop project and choose properties.
- Select Actionscript build path > Library path and click on Add SWC… Select the ane file you just downloaded.
- In that same window, choose Native Extensions and click on Add ANE… Select that same ane file.
- Select Actionscript Build Packaging > Native extensions. Check the checkbox next to the native extension. Ignore the warning that says the extension isn't used.
####Flash CS6
- Select File > Actionscript settings.
- On the Library Path tab, click on the "Browse to a Native Extension (ANE)" button (button to the right of the SWC button).
- Choose the ane file you just downloaded.
####IntelliJ IDEA
- Right-click on your module and choose "Open Module Settings".
- Select the build configuration for your Module and open the Dependencies tab.
- Click on the plus (+) button on the bottom of that window and choose "New Library…".
- Choose the ane file you just downloaded.
###Using the ANE on Windows
If you are using the ANE on Windows, you need to add the Leap Motion program folder to your PATH.
- From the Desktop, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
- Click Advanced System Settings link in the left column.
- In the System Properties window click the Environment Variables button.
- In the Environment Variables window, highlight the Path variable in the Systems Variable section and click the Edit button.
- Add the Leap Motion folder from your program files at the end of that line (ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Leap Motion\Leap Motion).
To generate documentation, simply run ant docs from the build/ directory.
