Leap Motion
With the Leap Motion you can track the movement of your hands.
You can buy Leap version 2 since 2023, the Leap 1 is still relevant.
Here you can find information on how to install the software for Leap1 and use it in Isadora and Touchdesigner
Leap1 + software SDK 3.2.1 (older version) works with PC and Isadora. New software SDK works with Leap1, TD and Apple Silicon Macs, provided the SDK file “libLeapC.5.dylib” is in the correct folder.

Use Leap motion in Isadora on PC & Mac
For more info on how to use the Leap Motion read this and download and install the Leap Motion user actor.
Isadora mentions in the README file bij de user actor: If you want to run this plugin on an Apple Silicon (ARM/M1) based Mac, you'll have to enable Intel emulation (Rosetta) mode on the Isadora application. But if you work with Sonoma (Mac OS) this might not be the case. I found this online:
Does Rosetta work on Sonoma?
A major macOS Sonoma update cuts the compatibility of an array of software, resulting in all of them not working properly on a brand-new environment, such as apps designed for Intel Mac stop working on Apple Silicon Macs. This issue happens because of Rosetta 2 support incompatibility on macOS Sonoma.
