Leap eliminates need for a keyboard and mouse with advance in motion control technology
A tech start-up is preparing to rollout the latest in motion control - and it’s changing what the world knows about
the industry by leaps and bounds.
It's called the Leap, and its creators say the device may be small, but it will allow you to scroll through items on your
computer screen with the wave of a finger, and even compose handwritten notes or signing an official document in
the air.
The Leap, brought forth by San Francisco-based Leap Motion, works with technology similar to that of Microsoft’s Xbox
Kinect, but much more accurate, according to developers. In addition, the Leap removes the need for a keyboard or
a mouse.
The developers at Leap Motion say that the device can track and mimic hand movements with pinpoint accuracy.
How accurate? Leap Motion claims it is 200 times more precise than any other device that's currently out there.
