Attractive, lightweight design, Responsive gesture controls, Compatible with Windows and Mac, Exciting and immersive user experience, Easy setup
Limited app selection, Difficult to focus pointer on small buttons
The Leap Motion Controller lets you interact with your PC or Mac in an exciting new way with responsive and intuitive gestures, but the app store is fairly limited...
How useful Leap Motion’s controller is depends on whether you try to use it as a mouse-replacement or as an addition to your desktop. We’d argue that, in this early iteration at least, the latter makes more sense: there were times we quickly went back...

It only works with compatible apps, not as intuitive or reliable as using a touch pad, touch screen, or mouse for everyday tasks, your arms will get tired when using it
Leap Motion's Kinect-like PC motion controller has its moments of magic, but right now it's more toy than productivity tool.

Abstract: Ever since Tom Cruise played PreCrime piano with a gesture-based workstation in Minority Report back in 2002, motion control looked like a sure bet as the interface of the future. Although the movie is set in 2054, it only took four years for motion techn...

Both the controller's hardware eyes and software brain are good at their jobs. It's sort of difficult to separate one from the other, but when you look at the raw input as it streams in, you can see that the data is high-fidelity and virtually lagless. We
As simple as the premise and the setup is, using Leap has a bit of a learning curve. At first, I found using the controller to be extremely frustrating, until I learned to start visualizing that input cube I keep yammering on about. Leap is—at its best, a
Ugh, it hurts to say it, but no. Theres a lot thats great about the Leap Motion Controller, and theyre the important parts. Its simple. Its fast. It can see your hands in great detail. And at $80, its pretty cheap considering what it can do. But tha...

Abstract: What does the future look like? Maybe it's my love of science fiction or just a side-effect of spending my days surrounded by technology, but this is a question that occupies my mind quite frequently, in one form or another. And perhaps the best part of m...

Cheap enough to try, As freakily accurate as they say it is, Free apps, Hackable, geek project potential
Tricky to master, Some buggy apps in Airspace, No killer everyday apps, Wired
Open Gallery It might feel strange poking your index finger shakily in the direction of a screen, rather than touching it or using a mouse, but put in the practice and you'll soon be gesturing your way around Mountain Lion, Cut The Rope and the ...

Abstract: It's a clever idea – taking it's cues from the likes of the Microsoft Kinect, £69.99 will get you a small dongle-like device, that sits beneath your keyboard/touchpad. Inside is a camera that will track your hand movements and gestures.In theory it's pret...
Beautiful, sleek-looking design, Good app store, Easily impresses everyone in the room, Some good games
Not as easy to use as you would think, 3rd Party apps are required to control your computer, Pretty tiring to use, No standardisation of the controls, Would you like more help with your technology?, Geek Squad Agents can be on hand 24/7 to help with all y
Crammed into its three-inch aluminium shell are two cameras and three infrared LEDs. It works by tracking your fingers (or a pen) when moved above the sensor. And we have to say, it's pretty impressive.Inside the tiny box, you'll find the Leap Motion sensor, along with a couple of USB cables. Head to the website to get set up, then you'll be thrown into the Leap Motion Orientation, where you'll g
The Leap Motion controller shines when it comes to games with simple input, but it can't handle more refined tasks. The tracking isn't perfect with some apps and games - such as BoomBall - and using the device did lead to a few frustrating incidents. Leap Motion says the control can help you model in 3D with your hands, but it feels slightly gimmicky at the moment. The hardware feels polished, bu
Leap Motion's controller is a bold attempt at bringing Kinect-style controls to your home computer, but it's ultimately flawed. It's just not accurate enough when playing games or using apps, which is frustrating. It works well for gestures such as swi...
