Topic
Since the release of Nintendo Wii and its motion sensing controller back in 2006, the area of Human-Machine Interface has gone through dramatic changes. Microsoft Kinect removed the need of a controller completely but yet we are still stuck with using our fingers with mouse or trackpad with our computers. Now the Leap Motion (http://www.leapmotion.com) controller bridges the gap of full body sensing and touch interaction. In this presentation, I'll demonstrate how to use the leapjs library to visualize the data from the Leap controller in a web browser. I'll also show how to use it to interact with Chrome browser through Chrome extension with minimum amount of coding.
