Not working
It is not working
Work, but only for move page up or down. Can't navigate in history, change tab or close tab. Need a fix but is cool. Work with Leap Motion v2.
With a little practice it works well, be good to get the sensitivity/speed working. Also be good to have a page down or up function. But it is one of my favourite LeapMotion apps
It's ok, but need more functionalities. I can only scroll or close tabs, but history and move tab functions are not working. The main function missing here is the ability to follow links, opening them in a new tab. Also, a (cacheless, if possible) refresh gesture would be really appreciated. The main problem of all of these integrations is they are not complete, so you have to be changing from mouse to leap motion and viceversa all the time. The need is to be able to navigate completely just through leap motion. Thanks for your time and effort!
It was difficult scrolling down a long article. I expected a better scrolling experience. The open left/right hand motion to go backward in history did not work for me (Chrome user).
As its still in beta phase I found some issues. Having some issues with going back/forward and it can make Touchless for Windows to no longer work until you close the chrome app. That said, it still worked great for scrolling and changing tabs.
Works perfectly except for backwards and forwards in history
