And a tiny price tag too.

just as conventional acoustic instruments have yet to be supplanted by the new technologies, so too the computer keyboard and mouse? That this device will enjoy a brief moment of glory before being subsumed by the games/Kindle industry and then disappearing (RIP TouchCo)?

Just curious spectro

It really looks good. If it can do that kind of tracking and gesture recognition with low latency and fine granularity I’m sold. But, perhaps grudgingly to others, my skepticism remains till more evidence (other than an inhouse video) is available outlining what one might expect in a practical situation, on a less than stellar and totally optimised system, etc…

The makers pretend to have been working on that stuff for four years so I think the results are credible.

Or, even better, they’ve already done it…maybe [hi] can see it, and all we need is a parser patch to get whatever we want out of it.

Gotta say, the potential is awesome and the price is a steal.

What are the tech specifications for the LEAP?
TBD.

I am afraid skepticism is not misplaced.

I also call total bs on (from the order page)

A limited number of Leap devices are available for immediate pre-order. Your credit card will not be charged until your Leap is shipped. You can cancel your order at any time.

There is no way on gods green earth that the number of preorders they will take is “limited”. It is possible that they will not be able to fill them all at once, but they should not even try to pretend they will not take all the preorders they can get. This is marketing claptrap, and transparent marketing claptrap at that.

That said, their investors seem like some heavy hitters. Whether or not all of them are interested in bringing this tech to market is another question entirely.

Another bothersome thing is that they say they’re still hiring machine vision specialists. This puts the existence of a solution to the core problem into question.

Kinect does all this with a zplane. Not planning on trashing my code yet – but then again, my code is hardware agnostic.

The technology is based on infrared.

bug fix
revision list
update
upgrade

all industry-speak for “not quite ready yet”

It’s a necessary evil, but when’s the last time you bought a car or other hardware product that had minor faults that required you to regularly and consistently return to the manufacturer for improvements?

Intel or AMD never did this. Only apple likes to do this stuff, one of the many reasons my hatred for them has grown exponentially in recent years. Sofdtware? Sure. Hardware? Hell no.
