The Leap Motion is a motion control interface designed for use with existing computers,and in demo videos the device calls to mind natural, sci-fi interfaces like the one found in the Tom Cruise blockbuster Minority Report. It\u2019s motion control that doesn\u2019t look gimmicky or full of compromises, and CEO and founder Buckwald told BetaKit in an interview that in terms of underlying technology, Leap is heads and tails above most of what\u2019s out there.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cOur technology is the only one focused on bringing motion control to the desktop, rather than trying to take what\u2019s been built for TV (large gesture sensing) and making it work for computers,\u201d he said. \u201cWe incorporate natural motions in closer range (three cubic feet from the device), in far greater detail and sensitivity, than any product on the market, and we\u2019re the only solution that tracks all 10 fingers individually in 3D space, making Leap about 200 times as accurate as other motion-control technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>From DSC:<\/em><br \/>\n<em> I saw this yesterday, but I also wanted to thank Mr. Cal Keen who also brought it to my attention again today;\u00a0 thanks Cal for reminding me I needed to post this!
