Ultraleap Application - Tutorials
Overview
Quickly onboarding users to spatial interactions is key for their success and for Widgets we wanted to embed this into the app through animations.
The animations needed to be easy to read, and clearly show both the required hand movement and the response this would have in an application.
Simplified versions of UI elements kept the focus on the hand movements, while proving information on how the system will respond.
Approach
Built using a hand model from the Ultraleap Unity plugin and Blender. I created a control rig with sliders for the bend, curl and splay of each of the fingers to allow consistent transition between poses. Animation was then manually keyed for each interaction.
Rendering was in Cycles, with a consistent studio lighting setup.
