Now here’s a piece of tech that’s as cool as Colin Farrel’s cigarette butt…
The Leap Motion controller allows you to interact with and control your PC screen by reading your finger gestures all the way down to 1/100th of a millimeter.
They say: “It’s more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen.”
They’re also not scared of the big boys in the motion controller industry (ie: Microsoft) calling their device 200 times more accurate than anything else on the market.
Still, I have learnt that videos leaked to Youtube can be deceiving so I’ll reserve judgment until I see it for the first time in the fingers of someone who doesn’t represent the company.
The potential is as you can imagine, enormous. Think of an app that can translate sign language into written text on the screen. Know how to do it? Head on over to their developers site and tell them how.
The Leap Motion plugs in to your USB port, understands almost instantly and looks like it could change the way you work on your PC.
Pre-orders open now. Expect to pay about R800 – R1 000.
