i’m currently testing the latest Ultraleap Device and noticed the tracking performance is a lot better with the current Gemini Driver compared to the older Orion Driver.
Would it be possible to update the VL.Leap package to gemini ? I checked out the repo but since i’m not the creator of the wrapper/package, it would take me definetely longer to get this working.

lol, just copied the latest leapc.dll into the package and it works. that was easier than i expected. so should be easy to update the nuget to gemini
Nice one @u7angel
For anyone looking for the updated leapc.dll find it in the gemini tracking software installed folder at
C:\Program Files\Ultraleap\LeapSDK\lib\x64
Copy it to (your nuget folder)\VL.Devices.LeapOrion.1.2.1\runtimes\win-x64\native
Hello @u7angel, since big windows update 1 month ago , gemini is no more working with gamma for me. Is it possible to have a link to your driver 5.17 ? its not foundable on the leap site. thank you :)
@karistouf you can just replace the version string of the download link on their site:
https://leap2.ultraleap.com/download/software?name=tracking-software&version=5.17.1-2023.11.16&platform=windows
thank you ! downloading, and hopping it will work…
Edit: nope:
which leap device do you use ?
@u7angel i m using an SIR170 and i have also one of the first LeapMotion.
Both are showing this tracking trouble. I have written to Leap support.
Its quite a nightmare …
EDIT: finally Leap support sended me back the 5.17 driver. It works in visualisation in their control panel, still with tracking error. I replace the dll , but Gamma and Help patch of the leap orion are not at all seeing my device as connected.
Ok, finally i have been in touch with Leap support, and a very nice developper has put himself in the .net VL leap repo. He has made slighty little modification to the LeapOrion softwrae to make it work out of the box with the 1.21 version of VL.Devices.LeapOrion.
I uninstalled Gemini and other leap tracking versions. Eesttared my two computer and installed the LeapOrion software modified. I also cleaned the nuge repo and reinstalled it.
Here is the link to my dropbox where you can get the modified LeapOrion software :
and (if needed, but normally it works out of the box with the nugget repo LeapC.dll) the dll: Dropbox - LeapC.dll - Simplify your life
Thank you so much for this Forum Discussion. Your posted driver works for me.
I just want to share the problems I went through for the next person trying the same thing. The orientation of the camera is significant. so I had to turn the camera for better tracking. And the old SDK is having two possibile positions for the camera,
desktop or head-mounted position. If that setting is wrong the hand tracking does’t work well.
The new SDK is having top of Screen position. Which would be my favorite one. Any ideas how to get this setting running?
We’re now officially supporting latest devices by Ultraleap based on their Gemini (5.x) and Hyperion (6.x) line of drivers, see: Introducing: Support for new Ultraleap devices
