pc: Leap motion controller looks better than Kinect, shown working with Half-Life 2

The Leap is a new motion controller that tracks the movements of your hands and fingers to a super-fine degree of accuracy. It takes the form of a USB dongle that sits in front of your keyboard, looking up at your hands and doing techno-magic to pinpoint their position in 3D space.

CVG have highlighted a trailer showing the tech in action, and it’s pretty impressive. It shows a number of quick demo clips including one that involves playing Angry Birds with a pair of chopsticks, and another showing the player taking out some Combine soldiers in Half-Life 2 with a finger gun. On the Leap site its creators claim that it’ll be “more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen.” Watch and judge for yourself with this video.

Leap looks set to arrive around December, but it’s available to pre-purchase now for $70. If you’d like to get your hands on the SDK, they’re taking submissions on the developers page of the site.

would get this for my computer, but im sure the new kinect would be like this if not better

I'd like to see what more people do with it before I purchase looks promising

it look just like kinect but without body tracking[pic]

ur PC has to be over $5000 with the 2015 graphics cards to use this

I really have nothing against motion controls afterall I'm am huge Wii U fan. But it seems to me that as technology moves forward especially in gaming its like there making an effort to take the controller out of the gamers hand. Some people see it as arkward playing a FPS with a controller cause there use to playing them with a keyboard an mouse and vice versa. I could be wrong but thats how I feel when seeing technology like this. Imagine playing some your favorite games without a controller?
