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. Picking out arcs with my outstretched index fingers quickly became second nature, and I was largely able to forget that the Leap Motion device was even there. 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.

SixthSense - a wearable gestural interface (MIT Media Lab) 'SixthSense' is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.
We've evolved over millions of years to sense the world around us. When we encounter something, someone or some place, we use our five natural senses to perceive information about it; that information helps us make decisions and chose the right actions to take. But arguably the most useful information that can help us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with our five senses, namely the data, information and knowledge that mankind has accumulated about everything and which is increasingly all available online. Although the miniaturization of computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually connected to the digital world, there is no link between our digital devices and our interactions with the physical world. . . . some more pictures are coming soon.

One Per Cent: Hands on with Leap Motion's gestural interface. 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.
