reasons. Data gloves are prohibitively expensive. They also can be hard to puton a hand with limited ROM [5]. Therefore, they provide no improvement over the currentmethodology utilizing the goniometer. The XBOX Kinect® [6] uses a similar technology to theLeap Motion. However, this device captures full body movement for gesture and motion control.The Leap Motion’s specialization is for hands and is therefore ideally suited for this project inways that the Kinect® [7] is not. The internal skeletal model of a left and right hand allows theLeap Motion to make predictions as to the location of all joints of the hand even if they areoccluded from the full view of the Leap Motion’s cameras. For example, depending upon therotation at the elbow or wrist
