    Shameless self plug: handWavey is a tool that I wrote to control your computer using a leap motion controller. I've put a lot of time into making it practical for real world desktop usage as well as some underserved accessibility use-cases, and I absolutely love it. And I still have a lot more that I want to do with it. You can see handWavey in action here.
  • Accessible Keyboards for Coding?

    Have you played with any leapmotion based solutions? I wrote handWavey which gives you the ability to control the mouse and keyboard by moving your hands like in minority report. There's also a foot gestureLayout, which is highly experimental, and not ready for daily use, but might give you ideas.

    I'm really interested in this as well. I think I'm missing a lot of opportunities. Like a few months ago, I released handWavey, which I think is fricken cool I posted it in a small number of places, and then just continued to work on it quietly.
  • A gesture interface for controlling the mouse, and a little keyboard.

    hands/arms don't work? Try the foot gestureLayout. (This layout is a proof-of-concept, and is highly experimental. I don't recommend it, for now, but it shows what can be done if there is interest from people who would benefit from it.)
  • Another input method, that works particularly well with shaky hands, or a lack of fine control

    The important thing is that the gestures are completely configurable. And everything assumption/"that seems right" is configurable. I've gone into more detail about this in the main video. I've also provided some examples and documentation. You'll see that I've even made a gestureLayout for operating it entirely with your feet. I don't recommend it (it needs much more development, which could happen if there is interest), but it works. With that gestureLayout, I've make the left click happen by simply moving your primary foot through to the "action zone". But you can add your secondary foot to perform a right click, middle click, or scroll.
