Leap Motion

Also known as: Leap Motion Controller

A compact infrared hand-tracking sensor that uses binocular cameras to detect and track finger and hand positions in three-dimensional space without physical contact. In accessibility research, Leap Motion controllers have been used to create touchless interfaces for people with motor impairments and to track finger movements for non-visual haptic systems that allow blind users to interact with virtual graphics and drawings through free-space gestures.
