Recent years has seen change in the way we interact with computer systems. We have seen a huge increase in use of touch screens, we have seen the awesome Kinect, and many more.
Now the people at Leap Motion have come up with a new way of interacting with your cumputer using their device LEAP.
What they claim it to be is a device that will replace the coomonplace keyboard and mouse. What it is, is a motion sensing device, which can map our hand movements into different commands.
With the ablility to distinguish each finger and their movements down to 1/100th of a millimeter, they say their device is 200 times more accurate than any other such device in the market.
Easy to setup, easy to use, this device uses your hand movement in the air recongising 3D motions and converting them to different day to day option like pinch-to-zoom, scrolling, etc and more complex operations like 3D modelling, drawings, etc.
When one such device, the size of a iPod gives you about 8 cubic feet of workspace, you will be able to link multile LEAP devices to create a much more wider workbench. Think of creating your own Iron Man style workspace.
The device is currently compatible with Windows 7/8 or Mac OSX devices. Linux compatibility is in the cards but tose of you Linux junkies will have to wait a bit more to get your hands waving above one.
The device will cost you $69.99 and is available for pre-order now.

Well i dont see myself throwing away my keyboard and mouse for this device yet, but i think this may be a move in the right direction. Lets wait for more.
