Leap Motion

In my short post Touchscreens, I mentioned how excited I was about the future of touchscreen and voice-enabled devices.

I kind of want to scratch all that because of this:

I had never considered that the motion-controlled systems that we have with Wii, Kinnect, etc. would be brought over to mainstream computing so quickly. The potential here is endless, and I can’t wait to see what developers do with this.

One of the best parts about it, I think, is that developers can apply and get the system for free. That’s a quick way to jump-start development for a product, instead of giving out developer phones that aren’t completely functional yet (just saying, RIM).

Check out the site for more info, or pre-order your unit today for only $70.
