Thanks for the quick reply LM_Kevin,
About the "computing hand orientation", I believe I got it now.
When I asked about the "hand swipe" I was aware of fingers/tools swipe gesture, I'm just trying to figure out the best approach when I merely want to detect a "hand swipe". Let's say our fingers are all together and leap motion only detects the palm of the hand: how would we detect a swipe in that case?
After adjusting swipe gesture properties,
if(controller.config().setFloat("Gesture.Swipe.MinLength", 200.0) &&
controller.config().setFloat("Gesture.Swipe.MinVelocity", 750))
controller.config().save();
what would be the best approach in the scenario I've mentioned above? I know I can iterate through all gestures from a hand, check if they match a swipe, but would it be correct to check if the gestures are STATE_STOP?
About detecting if a hand is either closing or opening, I can't think of any viable routes yet
Thanks for the help once again.
