Despite this, the company is also claiming a larger 160×160° field if vision, a 43" maximum tracking distance, and increased camera resolution. Small, fast, and accurate, it can be used for productivity applications with Windows computers, integrated into enterprise-grade hardware solutions or displays, or attached. Set up your camera with a separate monitor or display, so that the camera is at least 10 cm away from any part of the screen you want to interact with. The Leap Motion Controller is an optical hand tracking module that captures the movement of users’ hands and fingers so they can interact naturally with digital content. A big one for those looking to integrated the technology into portable projects and robotics systems is size: the Leap Motion 2 is nearly a third smaller than the original, and comes with the promise of a 25 per cent drop in power consumption. With TouchFree you can position the camera either above or below the screen. The Leap Motion 2 is a very similar device, again aimed at tracking the user's hands and fingers in free space - but includes a range of improvements. Since its launch in 2013 the Leap Motion hand-and-finger-tracking controller has found a home in a range of projects - from an Arduino-powered replacement for HTC's Vive Controllers to providing hand tracking for augmented reality systems, skin-based touch control interfaces, surgical robots, and even automatically interpreting and translating sign language. We thank everyone who has helped us get to this point."

"We are excited to share this next iteration with the world and continue breaking down the barriers between physical and digital worlds. “The Leap Motion Controller 2 not only represents the culmination of our journey so far but also enables a future where natural interaction becomes the norm," Carter continues.

Ultraleap has announced its next-generation hand-tracking sensor, Leap Motion 2 - a full decade after the original hit shelves. You can integrate your Leap Motion Controller with an Arduino, map your hand motions to your favorite robot, or drive a remote-controlled car over Wi-Fi.
