I like the integration but I am still having a hard time with gesture interfaces. I have a kinect but almost never use it. Anyone have younger kids? I am wondering if it will become a generational thing as kids grow up with these interfaces... maybe using a mouse will be the future equivalent of going to vi/cli over an IDE/GUI...
Could see some great healthcare applications for this using legacy hardware.
Let's hope Apple eventually adds a depth sensor of its camera. It may be because there is movement directly behind me but I just tried it out and it went a bit haywire (most likely because of the movement behind me). And once I really want it to pause/play and I raise my hand I have to kind of go back and forth to activate it.
swang - thx for trying it out. We do get false positives and are working hard to make it even more robust. Did you download from app store or our website? Try the version from website, it has some improvements that are yet to reach the app store.

I guess I don't get it.

I feel like it's similar to Siri: it takes a lot of effort and yields very little added convenience.

With heaps of respect to the guys at Flutter... I'm stunned that they still managed to swing this post Leap Motion announcement.

Granted, flutter uses already available hardware (webcam) butbp the functionality is totally superseded by Leap IMO.

I still have Flutter installed and I still use it to show off from time to time but I felt bad for these guys once I saw the Leap.
