The Recognition, Processing And Application Of Leap Motion In The Interactive Art

In recent years,with the development of the science technology,interactive art has been trying more new ways of interaction to make interactive art has more participatory,sense of technology and novelty.Somatosensory interaction is one of the new ways which has "no-touch-interaction" as its feature and lead a wave in the interactive filed.This dissertation focuses on the experiment and research on recognition,processing and application of Leap Motion(sensor device that supports hand and finger motions as input)in the interactive art,and will analyze the technical application of Leap Motion in the field of interactive art by combination with a specific interactive art designThe first chapter of this dissertation briefly describes the structure and working style of Leap Motion.The second chapter analyzes the reasons of using Leap Motion in the interactive art and the role Leap Motion plays in different interactive art designs.The first part of the third chapter analyzes the combination of Leap Motion and Max/Msp and the way of getting original data from Leap Motion.In this part,different Leap Motion external objects in Windows system and Mac system of Max/Msp have been tested and the differences between them have been analyzed.The second part of the third chapter achieves some control effects in Max/Msp by using the data Leap Motion provided.The forth chapter analyzes the interactive application of Leap Motion by studying an interactive art design named "Stardust".There are 4 sections in the first part of the forth chapter.These four sections mainly analyze different sound interactive effects in"Stardust",which are all achieved by using Leap Motion and Max/Msp.The second part of the forth chapter contains 2 sections and it analyzes different visual interactive effects of "Stardust".The fifth chapter is the conclusion and the outlook of Leap Motion in the field of interactive art.
