• Put an End to Boring Presentations with Reveal.js

Getting Started

1. Download and install the package in the presentation project: npm i -S reveal-leap-motion
2. Add the plugin to the dependencies in the presentation, as below:

Reveal.initialize({
    // ...
    dependencies: [
        // ...
        { src: 'node_modules/reveal-leap-motion/reveal-leap-motion.min.js', async: true }
    ]
});

Config Options

You can edit the following options:

Property	Default	Description
autoCenter	true	Center the pointer based on where your finger enters the leap motion's detection field.
gestureDelay	500	How long to delay between gestures in milliseconds.
naturalSwipe	true	Swipe as though you were using a touch screen. Set to false to invert.
pointerColor	#00aaff	The color of the pointer.
pointerOpacity	0.7	The opacity of the pointer.
pointerSize	15	The minimum height and width of the pointer.
pointerTolerance	120	Larger values yield slower movement.

Example configuration:

Reveal.initialize({
  //...
  "reveal-leap-motion": {
    naturalSwipe: false,     // Invert swipe gestures
    pointerColor: '#d80000', // Red pointer
    pointerOpacity: 0.5,     // Set pointer opacity to 0.5
  },
});

Supported Gestures

Index Finger Only

When a single index finger is extended, a circular pointer will appear on screen, which tracks the finger. Moving closer to the device expands the pointer.

Multiple Fingers with One Hand

Navigate through the slides by swiping up, down, left, or right. See the config options to invert movements.

Two Hands

Swiping upwards with two hands will toggle the overview mode. A second swipe will exit the overview.
