Hands-free motion control, a technology pioneered by Nintendo's Wii and later improved upon by Microsoft's Kinect, just took a very big leap forward. Industries from gaming to surgery to architecture, engineering, and design may never be the same. With the unveiling today of its Leap 3D motion control system, a San Francisco startup called Leap Motion has, well, leapfrogged the state of the art in this young field, giving users the ability to control what's on their computers with hundredth of a millimeter accuracy and introducing touch-free gestures like pinch-to-zoom. Leap, which comprises both a small USB input device and a sophisticated software platform, is expected to cost $70. But while users will have to wait until early next year to get their hands on it, what the company is showing today seems likely to get developers and users in a wide range of industries very, very excited.

Poor thread title -- he is using nothing but his hands.

Seriously that is obviously the next big step in computing -- it's just like a more advanced touchscreen.

Wow.......depending on sensor placement, that could make touch screens obsolete pretty quickly. That's exciting stuff. Now I need some pre-cogs.

But yeah, that's pretty cool. I can't imagine giving up the mouse though. Most times I just want to sit back and chill. I don't want to have to raise my arms all over the place. Minute movements on my mouse are much easier.
I understand certain applications this will be much better. But web surfing, etc, will be mouse.

The mouse will still be important, but many simple -quick functions would be better served by the wave of a hand.

Two hands maybe? Or even two fingers? But most things can still be done with a mouse. Surely I'm not thinking about all the cool crazy things they'll come up with that using a hand will be much better for, but right now I'm still thinking I'd rather use a mouse.
Similar to how using the Kinect to navigate your TV might be cool, but a remote is a lot quicker in most situations.

Yup, seems too much work to keep your arms and hands lifted. The mouse has worked for 40+ years.
