  • These are very broad questions, and in particular 3 is a general one and not really Javascript. Have a look at the other questions here and the examples on Leap's website. – Lars Kotthoff Nov 08 '13 at 10:05

  1. Given the current version of the tracking, identifying individual fingers as an "index finger" or "pinky finger" is not possible. The API simply gives you a list of currently detected fingers in an "arbitrary order" as seen in the documentation. If you look at the announced plans for the future, you can see more robust hand modeling that may support what you're attempting to do at some point.

  2. Not sure what you mean here. If you're looking to reveal a 3D model of a pot when the user moves their hands in a particular manner, I'd look at the Three.js library which can integrate easily with a LeapMotion application.

  3. I don't believe you could control the mouse via LeapMotion from a browser application with JavaScript. You'd probably need to write OS specific native applications to accomplish this.
