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

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...

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...

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...

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...
