Leap Motion Controller

Today I will be talking about a new device that will come out in the market this summer. It is called the Leap Motion Controller.
The Leap Motion Controller is a device for your computer, which enables you to program and use your computer with just your hands. It senses the ways you move your hand, so you can pinch, point, push, grab, wave and perform almost any hand gesture without using your mouse.
In my opinion, I feel that this device can be very beneficial to this generation of technology users. It gives us an easy way to interact with our computer by just using our hands. It opens up a new array of possible controls, something that is limited when you are just using a mouse.
Not only can you paint, draw, sculpt, and mold objects on your computer by just using your fingers, you can play the guitar, flip through pages in a web book, play games and so much more.

The Leap Motion Controller is very precise and accurate, and can sense any hand motions and movements you perform. It can also distinguish which finger your using, all the way from your pinky to your thumb. It can also sense when you move, or bend your hands in different directions.

The Leap Motion Controller also comes with it's very own App Store, where you can download specially designed apps, and use the Leap Motion Controller to play games, paint, listen to music, read,  and much, much more.

I think that the Leap Motion Controller is a great invention, one that will help many people in the years to come, and provide a sense of satisfaction. It will be like using a tablet, except on a much larger screen, and no worry of getting the screen dirty, since there will be absolutely no need to touch your computer screen in the first place.

Although this device might not be completely accurate, and may sense your motions differently, I think that many people will soon realize the potential of this tiny device, that costs only $80 and acknowledge the fact that the Leap Motion Controller is in fact, a very good invention indeed.

  1. Great blog and I had a couple of comments. One of which was that I was skeptical about this motion controller because when in the blog is states that the controller is precise and accurate is that true because when xbox revealed the kinect they said it was precise and when the public tried it they said it wasn't precise but, if they can pull this off then that's great.
