Free LEAP

What it does

Implements hand gestures to manipulate the 3D view in FreeCAD using the LEAP Motion controller.

Inspiration

We want to promote the adoption of open-source software solutions in the engineering industry, and hence we are presenting to you the ultimate 3D navigation mode for FreeCAD: using your hands!

How we built it

With patience. Lots of it. And also the FreeCAD and LEAP Motion Python APIs.

Challenges we ran into

• Fucking broken API's. All of them.
• Qt multithreading is broken too.
• 25 different and incompatible Vector classes. :face_with_rolling_eyes:
