The invention discloses a Leap Motion based 3D commodity display method, and belongs to the technical field of mode identification. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, acquiring gesture information; step 2, judging an upward-moving gesture and a downward-moving gesture, if the gesture is the upward-moving gesture or the downward-moving gesture, entering the step 6, and if the gesture is neither the upward-moving gesture nor the downward-moving gesture, judging a forward-moving gesture and a backward-moving gesture; if the gesture is the forward-moving gesture or the backward-moving gesture, entering the step 6, if the gesture is neither the forward-moving gesture nor the backward-moving gesture, judging a leftward-moving gesture and a rightward-moving gesture, if the gesture is the leftward-moving gesture or the rightward-moving gesture, entering the step 6, and if the gesture is neither the leftward-moving gesture nor the rightward-moving gesture, entering the step 1; and step 3, establishing a 3D commodity model; and step 4, exporting a model file, namely, a *.osm file, required for scene rendering.
