Main Menu

Here is the main menu of the entire application. It is fairly basic and I am greatly considering on changing it to work with a Leap Motion instead of a Mouse and Keyboard. If I am able to get all of the applications running in one session (all but the blocks are currently working in one session) and I have the time I will try to do such.

I am still running into a few problems currently, mainly Unity and/or Monodevelop crashing my computer so it is making it a slow progress rate.

Blocks

Here is probably one of the coolest applications I have running with the hologram. You are able to knock blocks around using the Leap Motion. Some of them even give off a colored trail which looks amazing in the hologram output. I have yet to implement this with the Menu Screen sadly due to file name errors. I will hopefully get this up and running before the show.

Maze

In this short demo app the user controls a maze with a Leap Motion to maneuver a ball around. It isn't a fully functional game due to problems with Unity's collision detection, but it was a cool work in progress. As you can see, I am uploading 2 photos for some of these, one to show the actual level and another to show the hologram display output.

Skull

In this Skull app you are able to rotate a animated and semitransparent skull. I have a similar version in a video format for the show that isn't interactive but is a bit more visually appealing.

Earth

This is a very basic application where you are able to rotate the earth using the LeapMotion.

Big updates to come in a little bit.

Due to me working a lot and getting sick, I haven't been able to post at all over the last month. So today I will be updating it all today.

As a brief overview:
-Maya Script Complete along with a few demo videos. Hopefully more will be made before the showcase.
-Unity has crashed my computer an upwards of +50 times resulting in multiple occasions where I lost a lot of progress. I will be doing separate updates with a small summary as to what each app does.
