Connect LeapMotion to Matlab (using C Code or mex files)

Hi, I would like to extract information (Hand position, joint position etc.) from a LeapMotion Controller and use the information in Matlab. I have a C Code extracting information but I cannot run it in Matlab. Furthermore I am not fond of Mex files and gave up after trying to optimize a MatLeap Code I found on the internet.. Is there a better way to use C code in Matlab than using mex files? If not, is there a deep and more exact tutorial of making a C code accessible for "mex"?

If you don't want to go the mex route, and you have library dll's of the functions you want to use, you might try loadlibrary and friends:
