Forbes - Imagine an iPod sized USB device that creates a 3D interaction space around your laptop or desktop. A physical space where your gestures really do control your computer and you can reach into your hard drive like you do a physical file cabinet. Enter the world of the Leap – a new device where your hand and finger movements are tracked to a measurement thinner than a sheet of paper.
From Leap Motion website:
‘Leap represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It’s more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen. For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.
This isn’t a game system that roughly maps your hand movements. The Leap technology is 200 times more accurate than anything else on the market — at any price point. Just about the size of a flash drive, the Leap can distinguish your individual fingers and track your movements down to a 1/100th of a millimeter.’More
