Development of a platform for sterile manipulation of 3D models using a Leap Motion controller

TFG del programa Erasmus EPS elaborat a Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences Treball desenvolupat dins el marc del programa 'European Project Semester'. The project aimed to create a touchless interface to control a medical model viewer for use during surgeries. It uses a Leap Motion sensor to allow a surgeon to interact with a purpose-built application, wherein a 3D model can be viewed and inspected. To manipulate the model, a surgeon can use hand gestures, which are captured by the sensor mounted near the surgeon. The application uses a virtual reality GUI, which can be interacted with by the surgeon’s hands. This semester’s group used a different approach from last year’s, culminating in a more feature-rich and effective solution, with ample opportunity for extension. It focused on creating a solid codebase with functional and usable gestures, and identified a clear path for further work.
