Extension summary

leap Motion Controller This is a chrome extension that allows basic control for web pages within the Google Chrome browser via the LEAP MOTION controller. It detects gestures from the user to invoke actions scroll (vertically and horizontally), refresh the page, zoom in/out, navigate through the page's history and switch tabs.

The aim from this extension is to have basic controls, and good looking visual feedback to the user.

Note: This extension requires a Leap Motion controller to run (see https://www.leapmotion.com/).

Gestures feedback With each gesture, a status icon will be shown to the user either on the bottom right edge of the page or at the middle (edges). The user can select either option from the options page.

The options page has a very customizable list of options that the user can configure.

Gestures and actions Now there's only 5 gestures ( I intend to add more later :) ) The gestures are illustrated in the pictures (a video will come soon): please see link https://github.com/Issam-b/leap-faith.
