Simple browser extension using Leap Motion. Inspiration for this was to build a really cool way to interact with browsers rather than a traditional mouse pad. Leapper can be used across chrome browser on your devices and give you a awesome browsing experience. ##What it does Leapper is a chrome extension that lets you use Leap Motion to implement basic mouse controls on a web page. ##How I built it The first part was building Leapper to be more than just a gesture recognition software and use it in web browsing. ##Challenges I ran into As the Leap motion API provides specific finger tracking and gesture recognition without specific cursor controls, we had to find the right way to map it to a mouse. ##Accomplishments that I'm proud of Our extension successfully lets the user scroll on the web page and use the point-select functionality. ##What I learned Some of us had no clue how Leap Motion works and how do we make it work as a browser extension, this hack has taught us to explore everything we can and motivated us to try hack new hardware. ##What's next for Leapper Leapper has a vast development scope with a room for more than one hardware so we will work in developing Leapper 2.0 version compatible with Muse or even Myo bands to incorporate more versatile gestures.
