I got my leap motion yesterday and the orientation didn't work on my surface either. I was actually really disappointed with the leap. It kept giving me "your leap may be operating incorrectly, please recalibrate." Recalibration didn't do anything. I was planning on using it with solidworks or inventor, but still no plug-ins for either. You'd think that after six months of delays they would have better app and plugin support. I'm definitely going to return it. It makes me sad.
