Leap Motion Controlling OWI 535 Robot Arm. A longer look at the Leap Motion. We test Leap Motion’s controller-free gaming and find it finger-pointing good. It's been over a year since Leap Motion first publicly unveiled its idea for a gum-pack-sized motion tracker that promised sub-millimeter accuracy and easy finger tracking. I finally got a chance to try the promising technology at PAX East this weekend, and I've got to say it seems to deliver on that initial promise. The Leap Motion was hidden away in the Double Fine booth, where it was being shown alongside DropChord, a musical puzzle-action game designed specifically for the Leap Motion. Using two index fingers, players point toward two dots on a hollow circle, creating a line through the middle that can be used to collect dots while avoiding painful sparks.
After a short calibration, the Leap Motion tracked my fingers incredibly well, with none of the jumpiness and delay inherent in technologies like the Kinect. Samsung Invents Air-Gesturing Controls for Tablets & Beyond. A recently published Samsung patent application has revealed a new air-gesturing invention that could supplement or eliminate the need to actually touch a display in order to control its functionality.
When using Samsung's air-gesturing techniques in conjunction with a Samsung HDTV, for example, the idea is to simply eliminate the need for a physical remote controller. In the case with tablet computers, the user will have the option of turning on air-gesture functionality full time or for specific applications that the user assigns them to. Samsung's air-gesturing capabilities are made possible by utilizing a specialized camera or multiple cameras that incorporate ultrasonic signals and/or specialized motion sensors. The signals and/or sensors are able to create a virtual screen area well above the surface of the tablet display as clearly illustrated in our cover graphic.

PCs of the near future: Intel lays out next-gen plans | CES 2013. LAS VEGAS--PCs on your coffee table, playing Monopoly. Super-thin ultrabooks. Voice and gestural computing. Intel showed these and more at their CES 2013 press conference. But does it add up to a firm control on the future of computing? Fourth-gen Intel Core processors aren't on their way immediately, but at this year's CES Intel was ready to demonstrate how its "Haswell" code-named chips will make Windows 8 devices of tomorrow even thinner and smaller than now ... if you're in need of that.
Fourth-gen Intel processors will require touch and have mandatory Intel Wireless Display, a wireless video technology that many PC owners still don't realize they already have. Haswell is part of Intel's road map for computers into 2014, and the biggest gains could be in battery life and extra features normally not seen in laptops. Intel also demonstrated table-top computers, some of which are here already in devices like the Vaio Tap 20 .
Finally, Intel even dabbled in pay TV. Leap Motion. Leap motion controller used to control a quadcopter | Geek-Cetera. Artefact Leap Motion 3D Modeling Application.

Niall Firth, technology editor I'm slicing and dicing my way through melons as if my life depends on it, every twitch of my finger dispatching another pile of soft fruit. This is Fruit Ninja as it has never been played before - using the Leap, the much-hyped gestural control device made by start-up firm Leap Motion that is set to launch worldwide in March. The device itself is a small box, just 8 centimetres long, which contains infrared cameras that can track each finger independently at an accuracy of 1/100th of a millimetre.
It creates an invisible 3D box above the device in which your fingers are tracked 290 times per second. Teaser videos have confirmed the Leap's status as The Next Big Thing and, now that software developers have had a chance to get their hands on it and give their feedback, it is due to launch worldwide. Is it worth the hype? It's clever and intuitive stuff - but what's it going to be used for? New 'leap' in computer interaction? Leap Motion and Unity3D experiment. Block 54.
