Watch People Use Leap Motion's Gesture Controller for the First Time

When computers were new, people interacted with them via punch cards. Then came the keyboard, and soon after, the mouse. More recently, touchscreens have become another way we interface with devices. But what's next?

Leap Motion, a motion-sensing technology company, believes it's gestures. Through an $80 device, available now, anyone can add motion control to their Mac or PC. The company's controller is a tiny gadget that sits in front of your monitor, and can detect your hand gestures with high precision (its creators say it can give Microsoft Kinect a run for its money).
