“…The authors claimed that the traditional model of education could be revolutionized with the implementation of gesture-based computing and simulation programs. In another study, Ferreira et al [18] explored the use of a 3D printed hysteroscopy model and the Leap Motion controller to monitor hand movements during a simulated hysteroscopy. Talib et al [34] examined how to teach an organic chemistry course using an educational application relying on molecule animation and electron-moving techniques.…”

Technology has proven effective in enhancing teaching methods. Gesture-based applications have a high potential for use in the development of teaching methods in schools. Simulation and 3D visualization, in particular, are some of the most important technologies that positively affected education. The implementation of these technologies in the education sector can determine students’ potential and enhance their interest in learning in scientific fields. This study explored the use of a chemistry education system that integrates virtual simulation and molecular visualization and uses a Leap Motion controller to teach chemistry in secondary schools. The sample comprised 113 students enrolled in four different classes in a public secondary school in Saudi Arabia. The data were analyzed using an ANOVA test to compare the results. The results indicate that the students who used the proposed educational system achieved better learning results than the students who participated in theoretical classroom learning only. Moreover, students who used the proposed educational system learned microscopic-level concepts better than those who used a real chemistry laboratory. Finally, combining simulation and molecular visualization and using gesture-based technology has a significant and positive effect on the students’ learning experience, as demonstrated by the results of this study which contributes to the development of education through the utilization of modern technology.

“…Leap Motion Controller TM (LMC) (Ultraleap, Inc, Silicon Valley, USA) is a portable, low-cost motion capture device designed to track joint positions, including the wrist and fingers, with an accuracy of 1/100 mm three-dimensionally. 1 – 3 There are some previous studies applying LMC for surgery, 4 , 5 however; LMC was used for the evaluation of virtual-reality simulation in the studies. We assumed that LMC would be useful for objectively explaining “master craftsmanship”, and decided to apply this device to surgical education.…”

Purpose Leap Motion Controller is a device that can capture hand gestures and reproduce these as data comprising several parametric elements. We analyzed surgical suture motion using this device and investigated the optical methodology for clinical applications. Methods We recruited medical students and residents (novice group) and vascular surgeons (specialist group). The operators applied sutures once on a prosthetic graft, and the captured motion was analyzed. Results Ten novices, who each received procedural instruction for at least 2 h, and 10 specialists were recruited. The hand gesture consisted of four elements (roll, pitch, yaw, and wrist angle). Since “roll” was the only element in this simple suture movement that showed some difference between the two groups, we analyzed three parameters: (1) the suturing time, (2) the difference in the degree between two piercing points, and (3) slope of the roll. We found that the specialist group demonstrated significantly shorter suturing times and a larger degree of the slope. Conclusion Leap Motion Controller analysis with the roll revealed that the novices could use the roll motion after only 2 h of instruction; however, the suturing speed and smoothness were secondary to those of the specialists.

“…Optical devices such as deep vision cameras (Leap Motion Controller™, Leap Motion Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA, Kinect™, Microsoft, WA, USA, Oculus Rift™, Oculus VR LLC, San Francisco, CA, USA), infrared cameras, pressure sensors, motion sensors, joysticks, and accelerometers, among others, complement the perception of the simulated environment. Because of this, Virtual Reality 2 of 17 application has grown, making this technology a useful tool to satisfy current needs in several areas of knowledge such as education [4][5][6][7], industry [2,8], music [9], medicine [10,11], architecture [12], and Virtual Laboratories [13,14], where it is possible to reproduce the conditions of a real environment with visual, tactile, and auditive stimulus [15,16].…”

A Virtual Reality application was developed to be used as an immersive virtual learning strategy for Oculus Rift S Virtual Reality glasses and through Leap Motion Controller™ infrared sensors, focused on students of the Automotive Systems Engineering academic program, as a practical teaching-learning tool in the context of Education 4.0 and the pandemic caused by COVID-19 that has kept schools closed since March 2020. The technological pillars of Industry 4.0 were used to profile students so that they can meet the demands of their professional performance at the industrial level. Virtual Reality (VR) plays a very important role for the production-engineering sector in areas such as design and autonomous cars, as well as in training and driving courses. The VR application provides the student with a more immersive and interactive experience, supported by 3D models of both the main parts that make up the four-stroke combustion engine and the mechanical workshop scenario; it allows the student to manipulate the main parts of the four-stroke combustion engine through the Oculus Rift S controls and the Leap Motion Controller™ infrared sensors, and relate them to the operation of the engine, through the animation of its operation and the additional information shown for each part that makes it up in the application.
