Top Rated Leap Motion Alternatives
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most helpful thing about Leap Motion is its ability to track your hands and fingers in 3D space. This allows you to control your computer using gestures that are intuitive and natural. The downsides of Leap Motion are that it can be difficult to set up and calibrate, and it may not work well with all applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The least helpful thing about Leap Motion is that it does not work with all devices. The downsides of using Leap Motion include that it can be difficult to use and is not compatible with all devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Leap Motion is a fantastic tool that has assisted us in creating LED art and is surprisingly easy to use given how intricate the engineering is. In summary, it's a great controller to play about and experiment with. Your hand motions are accurately and virtually captured by the Leap Motion controller. It was also quite easy to use the Unity plugin for Leap Motion programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes we experienced the software crashing and had to reboot to use it properly. Nothing much apart from that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interaction with the device, how easy it is to set up and how easy it is to use the API to build friendly and robust applications in different environments, such as Javascript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am thrilled with the device. I'll improve some things like the precision of how it tracks the movements and how it sends the data to the developer through the console Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
