TouchFree
Ultraleap Product - Touchless Interaction
Overview
TouchFree from Ultraleap is a software solution for adding touchless interaction to any screen. I was involved in building the product from it's early days of R&D through to it's move to an open source project and into commercial application.
We designed TouchFree to be compatible with any kind of display and developed a variety of interactions to enable users to engage with content.
Approach
Initially built in Unity as a tech demo, we continued to use this as a vehicle for research into the interactions and visuals needed to make the product functional.
Later ported to .Net with a websocket API and JavaScript client library to enable integration into customer applications.
A solution of several parts, this included developing backend services, portable client libraries, installers, configuration applications, usage examples and supporting demos.
