I would like to share my new toy (to be). This is Minority Report meets Xbox Kinect. Only so much real and cooler. Check it out (don’t forget to see the video below): Leap Motion
"Say goodbye to your mouse and keyboard.
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.
This is like day one of the mouse. Except, no one needs an instruction manual for their hands."*
Holy awesome! 10 more mins to iftaar and I'm drooling over this more than the hot crispy chicken strips on my table! Life is getting gooder and gooder.
aah... so we're finally getting somewhere - I heard of this project last year in a Natural User Interface conference. Didn't know they were accepting pre-orders now. I just placed an order :D - can't wait to try it out!
Thats super neat but is it really functional. Does anyone really want to wave their arms in the air and play games? It's going to hurt after 2 mins. :(
