    Ultraleap Gemini
    Ultraleap’s Hand Tracking Software is what you need to get started with our world-leading hand tracking. It’s the brains of the operation and has everything you need to run your camera module and get tracked hands working for you. All customers developing with Ultraleap hand tracking devices and/or software need a license. The Visualizer will show your tracked hands, as well as the infrared images direct from the camera module. From the control panel you can adjust system settings, modify the interaction area, and access diagnostics. The software runs the camera module and sends hand tracking data to applications that need it. What you need to build applications if you're using the LeapC API. Alternatively use TouchFree, or our Unity or Unreal plugins. Follow our guides for VR Headsets, Touchless Kiosks, or desktop. Run the Visualizer to check your device is working properly. Right-click the Ultraleap icon in the system tray and select the visualizer.
