Leap Hacking will bring you news, announcements, and code to help you do fun and interesting things with your Leap Motion controller. It is run by hacker/artist/musician James Britt, and Neurogami. Both encourage you to feed your head, hack your world, and live curious.

The Leap Motion Controller seemed like an intriguing way to control the lights, so I created a modular framework using Scala and the Leap Motion Java API. After thinking about what a modular system would look like, and what kind of features it should have, I decided that it should be easy to extend, configurable, contain a message system synchronizing the color settings from various connectors, and include a remote start/stop option for the system.

The amount of data available to businesses has exploded over the last 10 years. At the same time, we’ve seen a growing challenge – how to manage all of this information to reach actionable insights in a time-constrained, ever-changing environment. With 3D navigation and manipulation, as well as the sharing of this data in a more natural way, we’re taking a major step towards meeting this challenge.
