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

Innovative concept, Variety of apps, Device is reasonably priced, so are the apps, There's huge potential here
Controls can be finicky, Inconsistent performance, Apps are hitormiss, It's a work in progress
There is a lot of potential in the Leap Motion controller, and some apps show that more than others. As exciting as the technology is, though, that's what you're ultimately paying for: the apps. The device makes the experience possible, but the apps make ...

The Leap Motion Controller is a Kinect-like input device for Macs and Windows PCs. It has impressive 3D spatial tracking and already has dozens of compatible apps. It costs under $80
It only works with compatible apps; not as intuitive or reliable as using a touch pad, touch screen, or mouse for everyday tasks; your arms will get tired when using it
Leap Motion's Kinect-like PC motion controller has its moments of magic, but right now it's more toy than productivity tool....

Easy to install, plug and play for the controller. Download of Airspace is straightforward, Controller is amazingly accurate, there is an orientation program which shows what it can see and gives a rough idea of how it works, There is a wide range of apps
If you only have a Windows or a Mac you can't access certain apps, Downloading certain apps can take a while and may also require extra download of software (experienced with Windows only), Apps respond differently with the controller, some are more accur

Lacks functionality for actual computing, Does not replace the capacity of a trackpad or mouse, Slightly expensive
When put in perspective, there is very little fault to find in the Leap Motion, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that there are no true competitors to compare it with. With that being said there are two concerns we found during our time with the...
