right now we have more then one leap motion in our office, and its pretty cool to do some stuff with it, but today we saw your gadget and video and we were very impressed.

i really like the slogan 'WAVEGOODBYE TO CAMERA BASED GESTURE CONTROL' - because ur idea can be used everywhere, camera gestures only in the reach of a computer/console.

so i really looking forward for the final version, and to hold it in my hand. i hope your sdk is awesome from the scratch. it would suck, if all developers have to wait for month, until a good version is available.

what i'm wondering, in the video the design of the hardware is different to the selling screens. and i like the velcro version much more, because the other one does not look like 'one size fits all' and might slight away on the most arms.

so whatever...i'm looking forward too late 2013



The Leap Motion is still an interesting device because of its sensitivity and ability to resolve intricate finger positions/orientations. It's already in developers' hands and half the price of this device. With future iterations, I would expect to see the Leap integrated into tablets and phones-- so it could be everywhere as well.

I've experimented placing the Leap on my chest as if it were a pendant, facing out. It's pretty comfortable to gesture this way. For a presentation it wouldn't be the most expansive way to gesture, but it could be a discreet way to interface with something like Google Glass.


wait.. how come you guys have a leap motion? has it shipped yet? I have a pre-order with them, but I haven't heard any updates.


We applied for developer kits. I think they're still on track to ship April/May.
