The leap motion allows you to control your computer with hand gestures and motions. It tracks all of your ten fingers. The marketplace for the leap motion is called Airspace. Currently it has over 75 apps and is steadily growing. You can use this device for reading news, playing games, looking through photos, or just interact with some of the stunning visualizers. It's motion detection accuracy goes all the way up to 1/100th millimeter.

My opinion:
The leap motion controller has a lot of potential, even though it really isn't new technology. The apps in the app store, Airspace, are really the key component of making this device evolve further. In this video, I display some of what I think are the best apps that use the most logical gestures. It would be nice to see bigger companies and corporation to incorporate their brands on this device. We have already seen New York Times has gotten in on the action.

More Information:
Leap Motion is a company developing advanced motion sensing technology for human and computer interaction. The controller is made of a single aluminum band that wraps around the entire device. It can be used with games as well as apps. Some of the games even support 2 player co-op. This means you can have one person put their hand on one side of the device, and another person on the other side. As said before, Airspace still has a lot of building to do. New apps do seem to be popping up every few days though, so it looks like it has a bright future.

Where can I buy the it?

How much does the leap controller cost?
$79.99

Can you use it just with your computer and not apps?
Yes, there is an app that enables you to control Windows 7, Windows 8, or Mac OS X.

How long are the usb cables?
24 inches and 60 inches.

Great video mate - thank you a lot for showing LICHT! Appreciate it :-)

[MasterBlud]

Awesome, at 3:49 in LICHT, you can see the Avatars of us! Daizoren and Blud!

There's a dedicated app for using it as a pointing/clicking device. There's also a free third-party app called Better Touch Tool for Mac that gives you more options for gestures. Some people also swear by GameWAVE (Mac/Win), but it costs money $5 I think..

Thank you - on our website you can download the free Beta of Gravity, but the next game will be "Aliens VS The Evil Robot Bees From Space" (title might still change ^^).

They should bundle the leap motion with the oculus rift. They just seem to go together perfectly.
