Leap Motion released its new Leap motion control system for pre-order onMonday, with shipment promised in early 2013. The US$69.99 Leap is200 times more sensitive than any similar existing technology andallows for a variety of natural and intuitive 3D motion controls. Leap Motion is shipping out developer kits as well, and thetechnology could soon be incorporated in a variety of gaming,graphic design, robotics and other software and computing systems.The company will work closely with the first 100 developers, andthe device will ship with its own app store. "The first time I saw it I was blown away," Andy Miller, a generalpartner with Leap Motion investor Highland Capital Partners , told TechNewsWorld.
"We had a demo in the office, and we justlooked at each other and knew it was something we had to getinvolved in. It's the way people will interact with their devicesin the future." The system is a joy to use, said Bill Warner, founder of CoFlowInvesting, which has also invested in Leap Motion. "What Leap Motion does is say, 'You have two hands, and we're goingto watch both of your hands in real time with tremendousaccuracy,'" Warner told TechNewsWorld. "It's amazing and extremelyeasy.
It feels like what using your hands feels like." Dreams of Control Capturing and translating fully natural motion has long been a goalof developers, with Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) Kinect systems being the closesttechnologies yet to achieve that dream. Leap Motion argues that theLeap, thanks to years of mathematical development by the company'sCTO, David Holz, will be a step closer to making it a reality,particularly when it comes to subtle movements in close proximityto a computer. "Kinect is meant for body motion at a distance, and not with thekind of accuracy as the Leap," explained Warner. "Kinect is meantto operate in a much bigger space -- the space that your body wouldtake up. This is meant to be an interface to your screen." The system bridges the gap between what's possible in the realworld and what's possible in the digital realm, said MichaelBuckwald, Leap Motion's CEO.
"It was this gap between what's easy in the real world but verycomplicated to do digitally, like molding a piece of clay orcreating a 3D model, that inspired us to create the Leap andfundamentally change how people work with their computers," saidBuckwald. "In addition to the Leap for computers, our core software isversatile enough to be embedded in a wide range of devicesincluding smartphones, tablets, cars and refrigerators. One day 3Dmotion control will be in just about every device we interact with,and thanks to the Leap, that day is coming sooner than anyoneexpected." The Leap is accurate to one one-hundredth of a millimeter within a4 cubic foot space. It senses the movements of a user's 10 fingersand tracks objects like pointers and pens, allowing users tonavigate operating systems and Web pages, do virtual drawing, signdocuments by writing in the air, create 3D models of buildings andcars, and play complex 3D video games. It might also have futuredevelopment possibilities in robotics, art, computer-aided design,medical imaging and simulation training.
The Leap plugs into a computer, laptop or mobile device via a USBport and features instant calibration that gets it up and runningquickly. It also allows users to customize its gestures andfine-tune its sensitivity settings in order to make the devicetheir own. Multiple Leaps can be networked together, creating aninteractive, collaborative space. Peering Into the Future If Leap works like Leap Motion says it does, it could have a majorimpact on the gaming industry, said Kyle Orland, senior gamingeditor at Ars Technica.
"The system seems to really deliver a level of resolution that caneasily pick out individual fingers and very fine, sub-millimeterlevel movements, leading to much more precise control," Orland toldTechNewsWorld. "[And it's] a chewing gum package-sized box that caneasily be integrated into a desk or laptop. If the company canreally deliver this at $70, it'll represent quite a leap inmotion-control technology." "This kind of technology is almost too amazing to believe," saidJ.D. Rucker, editor of Techi.com , who has placed his order and is excited to try the new system. "This is absolutely stunning," Rucker told TechNewsWorld.
"We'vehad the technology for 3D interfaces for a while, but the biggestchallenge has been to take a massive amount of data and transformit quickly into a form that can be used by today's generation ofdevices. I'm anxious to see how it works.".
