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.
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.

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.
