  • Super cool, Intuitive, Basically works, Constantly expanding list of apps, updates, Price
  • Won't make you give up any other control method, Wide field of control easily triggered erroneously

  • Don't buy it – yet. I don't know if these are just early problems that can be fixed with firmware or if the technology is fundamentally flawed, but for a device with so much hype and promise, it is woefully disappointing...

  • Impressive tracking capabilities for a firstgen device. Small footprint. Not expensive. For now, one neat toy to play around with.
  • Depending on the app, making things work can be frustrating. Better suited for simple gesture games. Poor performance on productivity scenarios.
  • I admit, the Leap Motion controller is something I want to fall in love with. It's just so cool. However, my experiences with the device indicate that at least for now it's more of a neat conceptual “toy” than a practical device you'll be reaching for eve...

  • The basic idea of using depth-perception cameras to record even the smallest movements of fingers or a pen generally seems like a great idea. Leap Motion is able to translate the concept well and shows a lot of potential for future applications. An OS int...

  • Lets you interact with your PC or Mac in novel new ways, Relatively inexpensive, Lots of potential, if app development keeps going strong
  • Fewer than 100 apps at time of review, of mixed quality, Hard to position on a desk, Individual-finger tracking is spotty, At times, oversensitive
  • Leap Motion’s $80 motion controller is precise and modestly priced, but the software selection and quality will have to increase before it finds mass appeal. Many buyers will want to wait until the tech is integrated directly into computing devices. ...

  • There's no doubt about it- nothing else like the Leap Motion exists on the market in its current state. It's an incredibly unique product with a ton of potential. That said, right now, the device feels a little bit like a prototype. While the hardware is...

  • And that's really the key issue here: In what ways is the Leap Motion Controller better than a mouse or touchscreen or keyboard? For the moment, it's not. It's more toy than tool, more science fiction than practical addition.I do find it impressive that L...

  • Abstract:  I've spent about two days with the Leap Motion Controller , a Kinect-like PC accessory that uses infrared sensors to translate the motions of your hands into input for applications. The device I received is one I pre-ordered more than a year ago; I've bee...

  • Leap Motion – PC Control With Air Gestures The Microsoft Kinect certainly revolutionized the console gaming industry with gestural interfaces, but for some reason gesture control has been slow to come to the PC market. In May 2012 we learned of the Leap ...
