Extension summary

ALPHA VERSION - EXPERIMENTAL

This extension allows the use of the Leap Motion Controller to perform some actions in Chrome. In particular, it currently has the following features:

  • One Hand Scrolling: Put a hand over the Leap Motion Controller and extend four or more fingers (five is the most comfortable position). The extension will then use the orientation of your hand to scroll horizontally or vertically.
  • Swipe left to navigate back, and swipe right to navigate forward. One finger works best with this gesture.
  • Circle clockwise to move to next tab, and circle counter clockwise to move to previous tab. Again, one finger works best.

More information: This extension was developed as an experiment, and it would be nice if it could grow into a usable feature-packed application. I don't think I have enough time to do that, so I've made it open source, hoping that this could get a few other fellow developers to help on this.
