With respect to Myo vs Leap.

Tracking is much precise than EMG based posture estimation. Unless these guys made a leap of at least one order of magnitude compared to current state of the art, expect the LEAP to be buch better in terms of gesture recognition.

Furthermore, this thing only allows the recognition of 20 gestures. That is about log 20 bit every few seconds. On the other hand, the LEAP will give you at least 10 finger positions plus rotations (thats more than 2^10 bits) every few milliseconds.

I think if people will get used to LEAP based HCI, they will not look at Myo, no matter if you can go to the kitchen with it.
