Key points
- A novel experimental setup with an industrial robot and reference pen was developed to evaluate the Leap Motion Controller.
- Static environments showed a deviation below 0.2 mm between desired and measured 3D positions.
- Dynamic environments exhibited a deviation of 1.2 mm, indicating reduced accuracy during movement.
- The findings suggest the controller may not meet its declared sub-millimeter accuracy in practical, dynamic applications.

Abstract
The Leap Motion Controller is a new device for hand gesture controlled user interfaces with declared sub-millimeter accuracy. However, up to this point its capabilities in real environments have not been analyzed. Therefore, this paper presents a first study of a Leap Motion Controller. The main focus of attention is on the evaluation of the accuracy and repeatability. For an appropriate evaluation, a novel experimental setup was developed making use of an industrial robot with a reference pen allowing a position accuracy of 0.2 mm. Thereby, a deviation between a desired 3D position and the average measured positions below 0.2 mm has been obtained for static setups and of 1.2 mm for dynamic setups. Using the conclusion of this analysis can improve the development of applications for the Leap Motion controller in the field of Human-Computer Interaction.
