Move 3D programs and the mouse with your hand

Leviate turns your hand into a controller. Raise your hand in front of the webcam and work without touching the mouse: useful when your hands are busy, gloved or not clean, in labs, workshops and presentations.

Two modules, one click to switch:

  • 3D: the open hand turns, the fist pans and thumb and index zoom the 3D view of the program under the cursor. Leviate presses the mouse buttons that program uses, or the buttons you set yourself.
  • Mouse: the open hand moves the cursor. Hold one finger still for a left click and keep holding for a double click; two fingers make a right click.

Ctrl+Alt+M turns the hand on and off from any program. A phone can be the camera too: scan the QR code and keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi.

The hand is tracked on your computer. The video is never recorded or sent anywhere. There are no accounts, no analytics and no advertising.

Moving the cursor and pressing the buttons of other programs works in an X11 session. Wayland does not let applications move the system cursor, so there the hand only reaches programs that run through XWayland.
