Leap Motion Gestures

Hi,

I'm working on a project where I want to use Max to pick-up Leap Motion gestures and interpret those as ASCII values that I can then output using aka.keyboard to control a separate program (via that program's keyboard shortcuts). I am using aka.leapmotion and Max is recognizing my movements; however, I can't figure out to get Max to recognize a gesture. For instance, how would I get Max to recognize a pinch between my index finger and thumb and interpret that as the ASCII value "116"?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Do you use V2 of the leap motion driver ?

Yes - V2 of Leap with Max 6

There is a free ircam external which is new, it outputs gestures list, it's osx only. There is also tcpigolo/tcpigola which is more complicated to use but very efficient and works on windows too. They give you directly the gstures that the v2 drivers output, and there are a lot already!
