Abstract: The Leap Motion controller was announced months ago and created a lot of hype. Sure, it brings a new, fresh approach to human-computer interaction, but it can be hard to master.The device itself is very well made and comes in a great package with two U...

Cheap enough to try, As freakily accurate as they say it is, Free apps, Hackable, geek project potential
Tricky to master, Some buggy apps in Airspace, No killer everyday apps, Wired
Open Gallery It might feel strange poking your index finger shakily in the direction of a screen, rather than touching it or using a mouse, but put in the practice and you'll soon be gesturing your way around Mountain Lion, Cut The Rope and the ...

Abstract: It's a clever idea – taking it's cues from the likes of the Microsoft Kinect, £69.99 will get you a small dongle-like device, that sits beneath your keyboard/touchpad. Inside is a camera that will track your hand movements and gestures.In theory it's pret...
Beautiful, sleek-looking design, Good app store, Easily impresses everyone in the room, Some good games
Not as easy to use as you would think, 3rd Party apps are required to control your computer, Pretty tiring to use, No standardisation of the controls, Would you like more help with your technology?, Geek Squad Agents can be on hand 24/7 to help with all y
Crammed into its three-inch aluminium shell are two cameras and three infrared LEDs. It works by tracking your fingers (or a pen) when moved above the sensor. And we have to say, it's pretty impressive.Inside the tiny box, you'll find the Leap Motion sensor, along with a couple of USB cables. Head to the website to get set up, then you'll be thrown into the Leap Motion Orientation, where you'll g
The Leap Motion controller shines when it comes to games with simple input, but it can't handle more refined tasks. The tracking isn't perfect with some apps and games - such as BoomBall - and using the device did lead to a few frustrating incidents. Leap Motion says the control can help you model in 3D with your hands, but it feels slightly gimmicky at the moment. The hardware feels polished, bu
Leap Motion's controller is a bold attempt at bringing Kinect-style controls to your home computer, but it's ultimately flawed. It's just not accurate enough when playing games or using apps, which is frustrating. It works well for gestures such as swi...

An appallingly inaccurate gesture controller that makes us want to throw our hands up in the air, not towards the PC...

Works with Windows, Mac, any size screen, Easy to connect and set up, Not expensive
Sensor doesn't always work properly, Some very poor apps, No standard gestures
As a proof-of-concept device the Leap Motion Controller is amazing. Like the Xbox Kinect, the Leap Motion Controller allows you to navigate with real gestures and natural motion, giving you glimpses of a time when PCs will be able to see us and understan...

Compatible with OS X 10.7, 10.8, Windows 7 and 8, Airspace Store has a few free apps (the OS navigation software, a web browser, etc.), Design and finish very Appleesque, It's intriguing: people like the idea, Two USB cables included (long & short)
Not compatible with Windows XP (or Linux, although Leap Motion says it's coming), Airspace Store has very little content, too few free apps and too many disappointments, There's no WOW! app, Not very intuitive, they need to develop a common gestural langu
We're giving the Leap Motion Controller two out of five stars. That might sound harsh, but we feel it accurately conveys the user experience as it stands today. Each app has its own set of gestures, so you end up constantly learning new movements, often f...
Leap Motion's much-hyped hand-detection control system is a gimmick, and we've seen those before. Sony's motion control system, Move, was a flop, and Kinect, which is technologically more sophisticated than Move, hasn't exactly set the gaming world aligh...
