Amazing Minority Report style Kinect beating motion detecting dongle!

[Kid_Eternity]

This is pretty incredible if it works as advertised!

Imagine that you could buy a tiny USB-powered box that detected your motion like Microsoft’sKinect, only instead of watching you jump around a room, it watched your hands and fingers. Imagine that the box was sensitive enough to track the tip of a pencil tracing out letters in a 1cm square of space, and to turn that into accurate handwriting on the screen.

Amazingly, that box is available for preorder right now. It’s called the Leap, and it works with your Mac.

The Leapmotion team behind the box (and of course its clever software backend) claim that the Leap is “200 times more accurate” than any rival and “can distinguish your individual fingers and track your movements down to a 1/100th of a millimeter.”

Would be more impressive on a big 60" screen though.
