Turns Out That Game-Changing Motion Controller For Your Computer Is Just An $80 Novelty

Leap Motion

The reviews are trickling in, and it sounds like the Leap Motion Controller is more novelty device than game changer.

The Leap Motion is an $80 touchless user interface controller. You can use it to manipulate "objects" on your computer, by waving, pinching, drawing or swiping your hands in midair, "Minority Report"-style. About the size of a pack of gum, the Leap sits on your desk and uses a set of precise sensors to track your hand and finger gestures.
