The Tools
Leap Motion
Leap Motion uses natural input to
unlock technology. The user interacts
with digital content in virtual and
augmented reality using hand gestures
as would be done in the real world.
The combination of software and
hardware track the movement of hands
and fingers with low latency and
converts it into a virtual input.
The Project
Abstract
This Sliding Puzzle Project is a computer application that
has a user solve a puzzle of randomly shuffled tiles of
numbers or pictures. The application randomly shuffles
the puzzle and uses a LEAP Motion sensor as a way for
the user to interact. The Sliding Puzzle Project responds
to the user’s hand gestures to move the puzzle pieces by
using a forward screen tap recognized by the LEAP
motion. The application will utilize a webcam to take a
picture to be divided into a puzzle pieces for custom
puzzles. This application has three levels of difficulties
of randomized puzzles for the user to solve.

C# in Visual Studio
Visual Studio is engineered for
productively building type-safe and
object-oriented applications. It enables
developers to target Windows, Web, and
mobile devices. Visual Studio programs
benefit from security and language
interoperability. We used WPF (Window
Presentation Foundation) to build the
application using C# programming
language.
