What Is The Leap? It s more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard, and more sensitive than a touchscreen (Leap Motion, 2012). iPod sized USB peripheral Creates a 3D interaction space of 8 cubic feet to precisely control software on a computer Distinguishes thumbs from fingers to pencils Can create custom gestures Network more than one Leap device
How Does The Leap Work? Can track movements down to a 1/100th of a millimeter It s 200x more sensitive than existing touch-free products & technologies The Leap senses hand and finger movements independently, as well as items
Easy As 1, 2, 3! 1. Plug it in 2. Load it up Enjoy! 3. Calibrate it
Retail Information Priced at $69.99 Specifications TBD A limited number are currently available for pre-order at LeapMotion.com
Development Developers can receive FREE kits and so far Leap Motion has distributed thousands LabView Hacker got a Leap wirelessly hooked up to and controlling the movement of a quadcopter in under 24 hours. They were able to tilt and move a hand over the Leap to make the quadcopter adjust itself to match, and feedback was almost instant, and quite accurate.
How It Will Impact The World Artists and creative types can use The Leap to emulate a stylus or easily create 3D img. Anyone can use The Leap to interact with Windows 7/8 or Mac OS X by clicking, grabbing, scrolling and using familiar gestures like pinch to zoo m in 3D space. Engineers can interact more easily with 3D modeling software. Gamers can play more easily and many will modify with Leap in mind. Surgeons can control 3D medical data with their hands without taking of f their gloves.
Behind The Leap The initial technology breakthrough came from co-founder and CTO David Holz. David was working on a PhD in mathematics from UNC Chapel Hill and left to pursue Leap Motion. Before that, he was conducting research for NASA on fluid mechanics. Michael Buckwald is the CEO and co-founder. *Side Note* They have been hiring former Apple workers such as Vice President of Product Marketing, Michael Zagorsek and COO Andy Miller.
