## Leap Motion Reviews
  ### 1. Great product

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2022

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

team found it easy to integrate, it was cost effective and fun to use

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

not that i know of, i was the resource manager not the integrator/coder

**Recommendations to others considering Leap Motion:**

Find people that have experience with integration

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

Can't recall the project, I think we needed sensors for a dance activation

  ### 2. An accurate and affordable sensor for hand tracking

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hamid F. | IEEE Student Member, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2019

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

I used Leap Motion more than two years for my research. I like the accuracy of the sensor for VR applications. The sensor is very affordable compared to its rivals. I like the VR games developed with this new technology.

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

In some situations the ability of the leap motion is reduced when we want to object manipulation. In the case that we hold objects in our hand its accuracy will be reduced. 

**Recommendations to others considering Leap Motion:**

If you are looking for hand motion capturing with an affordable price it is a good option 

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

I used it for VR game design

  ### 3. Great Potential

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2019

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

Tracking of hands is quite good.
Fingers almost line up with real hands.


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

In Vive controller mode it jumps by accident.
Tracking problem most likely cause. Using two Leap devices or another brand camera with Driver4VR may solve the problem. 

**Recommendations to others considering Leap Motion:**

Great product but you might need more than one to track hand gestures better. Not recommended as a total replacement for a controller, unless better tracking. 

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

With their other product it should be possible to feel objects you grab in VR without any controllers simulating hands. 

  ### 4. Fun for some games, not an alternative to PC Mouse 

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Prabh A. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2018

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

It definitely has a cool factor in terms of it being able to track my hand movements and its fun with a bunch of games like fruit ninja etc. 

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

It's definitely not an alternative to a PC mouse nor is it something that's easy to use to control the computer.
It makes your arms tired because you have to hold it in the air for so long 

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

In terms of business problems, it's not particularly solving any major thing
I just sometimes use it to display and navigate through my presentations at most
