From bringing the Wu-Tang style to interactive hardware to designing printed circuit boards in Uganda, Andrew Maxwell-Parish’s explorations into open-space technology have taken him to interesting places – both conceptual and geographical. Earlier this month, Andrew talked about his five-month artist residency at Autodesk’s Pier 9 in San Francisco, and we were there to hear all about it.

What do a Philips Hue bulb and the Leap Motion Controller have to do with each other? Nothing, until you start imagining how they can work together. Today, we’ll take a look at how I can control colors by waving my hand in the air.
It’s time to fully embrace a change in the way we think about technology and how we use it in our day-to-day lives. The gadgets, the APIs, and the common ground for connecting them all together in diverse and incredible ways exist right now. Leap Motion is just one part of rediscovering how we can […]
Happy holidays! In the spirit of the season, rediscover wonder and unwrap the Universe of Sound on Developer Labs. Plus, reach into touchless interaction with the Internet of Things and think about 3D app design with Lotus creator Eddie Lee. This week’s newsletter also features outdoor Christmas lights with Leap Motion color control, an Arduino-driven laser […]
At SmartThings, we think a lot about the way we interact with the everyday objects around us. We integrated Leap Motion interaction with our open platform to unlock a new world of possibilities in which home automation devices didn’t just respond automatically to our preferences and presence, but also to our hand movements.
I am working with the Leap Motion Controller and have come across a “soft area” in the API – there is not a direct bridge between the Unity web player and the Leap Motion Controller. This has to do with the fact that the Unity web player is “sandboxed” to prevent its having access to […]

Visitors at this year’s Toronto Mini Maker Faire were able to effortlessly turn air drawings into plastic sculptures, thanks to a 3D printer and the Leap Motion Controller. Created by Hot Pop Factory, the exhibit brought to life the possibilities of 3D design for people of all ages. We’ll let Hot Pop Factory tell you […]
Wave your fingers, paint in the air, and watch your creation appear from nowhere – like magic before your eyes. Last month, at Toronto’s Mini Maker Faire, visitors moved their hands above a Leap Motion Controller to create 3D drawings that appeared instantly on a screen. A short time later, thanks to a 3D printer, […]
Today on the Leap Motion blog, we’ve featured 7 visual experiments created by our developer community. Last week, we caught up with creative developer Rom, who designed the interactive LED wall and architectural model in the videos below. 1. What inspired you to integrate physical models with the Leap Motion Controller? The Leap Motion Controller […]
