Anyone else on the Leap Motion Developer program?

Hi guys, is anyone else on the Leap Motion developer program? I have a objective C wrapper xcode project and was hoping I could pay some one to develop a Leap Motion Plugin for QC ?

Anyone interested in a spot of work? I understand it will be hard to develop with out the actual Leap Motion, but I willing to provide debug information.

Thoughts?

Haha, your wish is my command:

http://github.com/darknoon/LeapQC

Not sure if it's updated to the newest SDK version, but feel free to use this as you see fit. I'll take a pull request if you fix something.

Cheers!

Re: Anyone else on the Leap Motion Developer program?

@darknoon Just great to know i'm not the only LM developer using QC! Thanks for this, we've written an Obj C wrapper to pipe data into QC via bindings, must get my Obj-c guy to post the source to GitHub so we can share our progress.

The new SDK does break your plugin, i wonder if we could collaborate on getting an QC Leap Motion plugin working for the community?

For anyone interested i've got a rushed development video of QC and the Leap Motion in action

Re: Anyone else on the Leap Motion Developer program?

Hey there. I'm also working with the Leap, and I've downloaded your Obj C wrapper (github.com/chrisbirch/LeapQuartzComposer). What do I have to do to make it usable as a plugin?

I've attempted building the .xcodeproj file in Xcode with the LeapSDK. I get errors that seem related to not finding .h files. I'm not an Objective C guy though, so I'm probably just doing it wrong.

Any tips on how to get it working as a patch? Working directly with the Leap in QC would be slickā€¦

Re: Anyone else on the Leap Motion Developer program?

Woohoo finial someone else with a Leap! Its been bloody lonely doing this project. Got so much to share.

We took out the .h files as the SDK has a NDA on it. Thats why your having the build issues. If you can prove that your a leapdeveloper send an email my way and i'll send the plugin back to you.

For anyone else we've done loads of work on the LeapQC, we would love some feedback. You can get the latest build here

Sweet! I'm going to try building the library again. Sent you an email through your website too. Cheers.

Hey Chris,

I'm in the Leap developer program and might be able to help you out a bit over the next few weeks. When they roll out the beta program perhaps you can also help beta test my app (it's built with Cinder, not QC... http://beautifulchaosapp.com). I'm "nselikoff" on the Leap Dev forum and Github as well.

Any progress on building a plugin out of this? I'm not sure how to compile it but would love to test it out.

Hi Chris,

I've been on the Leap Developer program for a while now. As of this week I have the final product device (my prototype was always cutting off early). I am interested in helping you out. I've only started learning Quartz Composer over the last couple weeks. I grabbed the latest from you shelf on github. I applied the Leap SDK (v. 0.8.1, I think that is the latest version). It builds; however, for the life of me I don't understand why I can't find the patch in Quartz Composer. I've watched on the web about placing it in Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-ins and I see that you have that as the build directory in the XCode Project. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been wanting to get into an open source project for some time and this seems like a good fit. You can also find my on github under the same screenname JamWils (although I don't have much activity on that website). Let me know.

Re: Anyone else on the Leap Motion Developer program?

Hello - was wondering if you have a compiled version of this LEAP plug-in anywhere online - have spent a little while trying to figure out how to compile via Github, without success... any tips appreciated.... cheers!

Re: Anyone else on the Leap Motion Developer program?

The latest leapQC plugin will always be inside of my Swoosh application on airspace (the github is a bit outdated now). Right click show package contents > contents > resources > plugins > quartzcomposerleap plugin . Place that in your library > graphics folder and it will work inside QC.

I type 'leap' in QC's library to bring the plugin up.
