molecular-control-toolkit

The Molecular Control Toolkit for controlling molecular graphics via gesture and voice. Currently supporting Kinect and Leap Motion.

The Molecular Control Toolkit supports Windows for the Leap Motion & Kinect, and Mac for the Leap Motion.

Prequisites

To run, you will need to install the prerequisites for the gesture device you wish to support.

Kinect: the Kinect SDK and Developer Toolkit (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/develop/developer-downloads.aspx)

Leap Motion: the Leap Motion SDK (http://developer.leapmotion.com)

Code example

// initialise the toolkit MolecularControlToolkit molecularControlToolkit = new MolecularControlToolkit();

    if (type.equalsIgnoreCase("kinect")){
    	molecularControlToolkit.addConnector(ConnectorType.Kinect);
    }
    if (type.equalsIgnoreCase("leap")){
    	molecularControlToolkit.addConnector(ConnectorType.LeapMotion);
    }
    else {
    	System.out.println("Adding nothing");
    }
    
    MyDispatcher dispatcher = new MyDispatcher();
    molecularControlToolkit.setListeners(dispatcher);

....

public class MyDispatcher implements MolecularControlListener { … //Here is an example of one of the callbacks public void triggerRotate(int rotateX, int rotateY, int rotateZ) { if (rotateBehaviour != null) { rotateBehaviour.processStimulus(rotateX, rotateY, rotateZ); } } }
