Hands-on with Leap, the most advanced gesture system ever

LeapMotion-sensor.jpeg

Startup Leap Motion wasn’t kidding when it said that it had a tiny peripheral that could read gestures “200 times more accurate than anything else on the market.” We caught up with the Leap to see if it really is a mouse and keyboard killer.

We’ll admit that we were extremely skeptic of the Leap’s tracking capabilities but after only a few minutes of seeing it in action and then trying it for ourselves, we’re happy to report that it works as advertised.

Accurate down to 1/100th of a millimeter and capable of recognizing 10 fingers at once, Leap thoroughly impressed us. Playing a round of Fruit Ninja by slashing fruit with one finger was entertaining and exploring a 3D map was also much more intuitive than with a mouse.
