I have a leapmotion which is a quality IR camera with driver which is able to read hands and fingers with high precision. Sadly they have deprecated browser support. Via JavaScript you could easily read the hands and fingers and respond to thing.

I can tell you one thing. Waving your hands around for a while is quite tiring.

I did try these handtrack devices in the browser by writing a websocket server in C++ or whatever language they provide API, then forward skelectal coordinates as JSON string. That's a pretty terrible experience, the orbit is not linear and come in zig-zag shape, doing interpolation afterward resulted in huge delays.

Any suggestion ? Thank in advance :)
