What is Leap might you ask? Leap is a new motion controller produced by Leap Motion with insane sensitivity. The motion control bug has bit and bit hard first with the Nintendo Wii really bringing it mainstream a few years ago. Then what I would categorize as motion interaction and just not control was brought forth with the Kinect from Microsoft. Being able to browse your media via voice and hand gestures has been steadily increasing in popularity and is almost perfected here with the leap controller. Described by the company "a revolutionary piece of hardware no larger than an iPod that is 200 times more accurate than any product currently on the market" leaves much to back up and Leap does not disappoint. Check the tech demo below.
Leap claims the motion sensing tech in the controller is accurate down to 1/100 of a millimeter and can sense hands, fingers and handheld objects like a pencil or ball, all within 8 feet of cubic space. With this much tech in such a small form factor Microsoft and Kinect better get on the ball, especially at a $69.99 price point.
