Introduction

Leap Tremor Detection (LTD) is a program to record movements of the hand and fingers.

The data are saved in .txt format as follows.

Data structure:

[frameNumber], [currentTimestamp(S)], [handId], [handConfidence(0-1)], [handTimeVisible(S)], [handType(L||R)], [handPalmPosition(X)], [handPalmPosition(Y)], [handPalmPosition(Z)], [handPalmVelocity(X)], [handPalmVelocity(Y)], [handPalmVelocity(Z)], [handPitch(R)], [handYaw(R)], [handRoll(R)], [handPalmNormal(X)], [handPalmNormal(Y)], [handPalmNormal(Z)], [handDirection(X)], [handDirection(Y)], [handDirection(Z)], [thumbTipPosition(X)], [thumbTipPosition(Y)], [thumbTipPosition(Z)], [indexTipPosition(X)], [indexTipPosition(Y)], [indexTipPosition(Z)], [middleTipPosition(X)], [middleTipPosition(Y)], [middleTipPosition(Z)], [ringTipPosition(X)], [ringTipPosition(Y)], [ringTipPosition(Z)], [pinkyTipPosition(X)], [pinkyTipPosition(Y)], [pinkyTipPosition(Z)]

Software registration number BR 51 2015 000133 7

Features

• App written in HTML, CSS and JS.
• External components (already included in the LTD package):
  • node-webkit (v0.8.6) - https://nwjs.io/
  • nw-edge (Library to invoke C# DLL, windows only feature)
  • canvasjs (v1.4.1) - https://canvasjs.com/
  • leap-0.6.4.js - https://github.com/leapmotion/leapjs
  • lzdialog.js

Requirements

• Leap Motion sensor (tested with LM-010)
• Leap Motion software 2.3 - https://www.leapmotion.com/setup/desktop/

Supported Operational Systems

• Windows 7 / 8 / 10 (not tested)
• MacOSX
• Linux

Misc

ChangeLeapPriority.bat (script automatic executed while executing LTD, it changes all processes related to this app to run in high priority. In order to achieve higher frame rate. - Windows only feature).

Reminder

Don't use proxy while using the software (or disable proxy only for localhost and port used by LeapMotion service).

Limitations

Up to now, there is no way to get a fixed frame rate. When the deviceFrame version of the app is used it is possible to get around 70 fps (on the follow computer: Core i7 2.9 GHz).
