In the beginning was the command line. And vacuum tubes, punch cards, keyboards, and mice. After all these years, we still use the standard tools to control our computers. But what if there was something more?
There is, and it is here: The Leap. A revolutionary piece of hardware no larger than your iPod that’s two hundred times more accurate than any product currently on the market. Leap Motion appears to so outrank Kinect in terms of its capability that it's almost a category error to compare them. The technology can detect motion with up to a hundreth of a millimeter accuracy; it's nuanced enough to detect fingers, for instance, enabling the possibility of touch-free pinch-to-zoom.
It might seem as though with a technology with such transformative potential, a hardware breakthrough must have made it fundamentally possible. The Product is the fruits of tedious years of careful mathematical research. A range of possibilities for the technology: consumers might use it to browse the web: engineers could mould virtual clay; designers could draw precisely in 2-D or 3-D; and new gaming possibilities could evolve. One is hard-pressed to name a profession that might not be changed by this technology: surgeons and pilots, architects and painters, cobs and robbers alike will probably have their uses for it.
