## Leap Motion Reviews
  ### 1. Amazing Tools for Gesture Control App Development

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** NItin  K. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2023

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

Wide range of plugins, many examples to start with, excellent documentation, support of multiple languages and SDK with great ease of use. Been using it since its Beta release. It has improved a lot since then.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

Older versions get heated relatively fast; accuracy needs improvements, progress on updates is slow and backward compatibility is pretty poor. It's an excellent tool that can create a revolution with proper direction.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Gesture-controlled applications in the aviation and Medical domains tried to integrate with a host of applications to control a lot of hardware and displays, which also helped make a great UX experience for end users.

  ### 2. Advanced Hand Tracking Technology

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2023

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

Leap Motion is an innovative technology enabling precise and effective hand tracking. The Leap Motion SDK library allows for integrating the hand-tracking software into various applications, reducing the skill ceiling required to develop robust hand tracking functions. In addition, the Leap Motion App Gallery includes many free demo applications that highlight the numerous use cases of this innovative product that allow users to interact with technology in a way that feels natural and familiar.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

My only dislike with Leap Motion is that, very occasionally, the hand tracking software will bug out, and the hand position will not be accurately displayed. This tracking loss is bound to occur due to the countless variety and differences between people's hand sizes and shapes. Leap Motion updates its software continually and further improves this bug each time.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Leap Motion simplifies the integration of hand-tracking functionality into a variety of applications. With native support for multiple programming languages, Leap Motion ensures that anyone can quickly learn and use their product. In addition, it is also an entertaining tool, and seeing your hands on a computer screen in real time is an incredible experience straight out of science fiction.

  ### 3. Fun experience and great way to interact with your computer!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan C. | Architect, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2023

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

It helps our team think of new posibilities on how we could create interactive events for our clients and interact with potential clients. Also, its a lot of fun! We've owned this for a number of years and how found interesting ways to use it.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

The product line and company has had some solvency issues and we hope they make another attempt to stay in business. Its scary developing on a product where the lead company could go away.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We wanted to find out if there was a better way to interact with our client's kiosk products. Post covid, people are weary to touch screens and we're hoping for a better, cleaner way to interface with technology.

  ### 4. Hand Recognition for the Home Computer

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael C. | Manager - Innovation Development & Technology Integration, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

The ability to grab items and move them where I need them is one of the best features.   I work partially in VR development, and being able to test how coded physics and object interactions actually respond live from the computer we code from before compiling a build saves so much time.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

Transitioning back and forth between using full hands in a 3D build environment and mouse replacement for the PC desktop can be challenging.  While whole-hand tracking seems to work perfectly, trying to use a single finger for a mouse feels less accurate.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The biggest problem Leap solves for us is the compile time it cuts out for every test.  Now we can change a single line of code and re-run instantly without waiting for a compile/build.

  ### 5. Stable and reliable hand tracking

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rob F. | Senior Unity Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2022

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

Used for exhibition apps where we needed hand-tracking to interact with mini games and experiences. The Leap Motion provided us with a single hardware addon solution for such a purpose with extensive documentation, developer tools and SDK resources to help implement Leap Motion in our projects with Unity.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

Sometimes the SDK or firmware changes so much that there are breaking changes. Namely recently since a big update we have lost access to the gestures system and now to use the Leap we need some separate software installed which also breaks backwards compatibility with older SDKs and apps.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hand tracking for hands-free XR experiences and addition of hand tracking to other apps we are making. The hardware is all in one module which makes it simple to add to existing setups.

  ### 6. Leap Motion: Small Yet Powerful

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** RAHUL A. | Information Technology Infrastructure Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2023

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

The Accuracy! The accuracy that Leap Motion offers is unparalleled. There are very few like Leap Motion that provides the same. The result that Leap Motion offers is without any lag.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

The occasional erratic movement of the arrow was identified in the Leap Motion output. Though occasional, it nearly kills the smoothness it provides and even tests my patience sometimes.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I wouldn't say this is something that benefits me a lot. But as a gamer, Leap Motion elevates the gaming experience. However, the occasional craziness of the pointer does an excellent job as a buzzkill too.

  ### 7. The Stylus and Pad of 2022 for all your tech and design needs

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mark W. | Helpdesk, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

Having used various design programs and CAD programs and sticking with the old trackpads, stylus, and wacom style tablets, having a new AR tech advanced device like leap motion makes your job so much easier to perform.   You can easily do lots of stuff with your fingers and hands rather than having to use a stylus or tablet.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

Calibration can be a little difficult at first.  It took around 2 hours to calibrate, now some of that was to do with our fault in not following all the steps correctly but we got there in the end.  The only other issue is a stylus or tablet you can easily share with other users but the Leap Motion needs to be calibrated even a little bit between users.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Leap Motion is replacing the need to use Stylus' or tablets for any design software and design schedules.   Moving stuff around, selecting stuff, rotating screen is made much easier by hand motions.

  ### 8. Accurate Hand Tracking Solution Made Easy

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jacki T. | Marketing Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

Considering how intricate the engineering behind it is, Leap Motion is surprisingly easy to use and amazing at helping me produce LED art. In general, it's also a very enjoyable controller to explore with and play around with.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

To build fluency for the general public user through hardware/software, I wish it were more widely used in the real world. It's unfortunate that this technology isn't more widely used, particularly given how health-conscious we are about the items we come into contact with.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Going beyond the typical input systems, which enables uncommon, enjoyable, and creative experiences feels to me like the fundamental issue it's solving. I believe Leap Motion is exploring the enormous possibilities of the gaming business. It was also a crucial step towards developing various sorts of inputs for virtual reality systems, a sector that is still in its infancy and I believe has a lot of room to expand.

  ### 12. Precise hand-tracking solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Supriya R. | 3D Software Engineer AR/VR/MR and Graphics Engineer  - Virtual Reality Application Center, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2022

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

Leap motion controller captures the movement of your hands quite accurately with very low unnoticeable latency. It was also quite easy to use the Unity plugin for development with Leap Motion.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

The leap motion controller was really hard to keep attached to the VR headset as there was no manufacturer provided holder to place the controller properly, and to tackle this problem when we built 3d scanned holder that holder used to shift accidentally as it was just attached with tapes and not properly strapped to the headset which caused the Leap motion controller to tilt and fall sometimes.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The VR headsets which don't have built-in hand tracking benefit a lot with using Lepa motion controllers, we did have hand-tracking support in the headset but we liked the greater accuracy that Leap Motion provided.

  ### 13. Has potential but still needs some work

The one thing I like the most about Leap Motion is that you can use Leap Motion in multiple apps and programs! It genuinely amazed me when I found out that not only can you use Leap Motion in VR programs, but also in other day to day applications as well!

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

When I first started using the Leap Motion hand tracking tool, I must say it took a bit of time to get used to it. For a desktop user, it's almost instinctive to reach for the mouse when I want to grab/select something, but when you have the hand tracking tool like Leap Motion, you dont have to use the mouse! I needed to constantly remind myself not to reach for the mouse.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making everyday work and life so much more fun! Clicking and doing ordinary tasks on the computer can be repetitive and boring at times. However by using Leap Motion, it introduced a bit of fun and new experience to the day to day mundane tasks!

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2022

**What do you like best about Leap Motion?**

I loved how easy and straightforward the process to start using it is. It's simple to connect to a computer, install any drivers and test it on different demos. I like the fact that the technology is very good for what it was designed to do, which is very unique. Some of the demo experiences were extremely fun to engage with.

**What do you dislike about Leap Motion?**

I feel that what I dislike the most is the fact that most experiences require some additional hardware to be truly meaningful. I think it's a very niched application, however, as I mentioned, it's very good at what it's designed for. Maybe the type of connection/cable could be more universal and way longer. This would allow for more experiences without the need for additional cables and also it would allow for easy replacement if necessary.

**What problems is Leap Motion solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I feel that the main problem it's solving is going beyond the usual input systems, allowing for unique, fun, and innovative experiences. The gaming industry has a huge potential, and I feel this is explored by Leap Motion. Additionally, it was also a very important step towards different types of inputs for Virtual Reality systems, a market that is still living its infancy, and I feel has a lot of space to grow.
