Today is slowly becoming more and more about touch screen technology. First with smart phones, then tablets, now with Windows 8 computers are getting ready to step onto the market. However, a touch screen monitor can be quite pricey these days. There is, however, a cheaper option coming to you soon though.
The Leap is a small USB peripheral that senses the unique motions of your finger tips and enacts them on the screen. This means you have touch screen technology right on your finger tips without actually touching your screen.
The Leap is not on the market until February 2013, but are currently accepting pre-orders. For Technology like this, most people would think it would be extremely expensive However, this technology will only cost you the affordable price of RM 213 ($70).
It is essentially the size of a little flash drive, all you have to do is plug in your USB adapter and place in in front of your computer screen.
What Does It Do?
The Leap can do anything your fingers can. From navigating the Windows 8 navigation, to drawing in any 3D modelling software, to gaming! You name it, there are developers working on it right now.you can control just about any thing with the movements of your hand.It recognizes the difference between your thumbs and fingers and can even recognize a pencil. This makes the Leap the absolutely most advanced motion capture technology available to the general public.
Personally I haven't pre-ordered but I think I will be picking one up when they have their official launch. Feel free to leave a comment about your thoughts on the Leap Motion and whether this is something you will be interested in buying.
