Kinect Competitor with Better Body Tracking at $70/Unit?!?

I knew the day would come when body tracking technology would take the next step; however, I assumed it would come from Microsoft.  This is what they get for dragging their feet… a PC competitor, willing to let developers hack their product from inception, priced at $70 a unit that can track complex 3D objects at incredible speed and accuracy.  See it for yourself:

Investors, get your pocket books ready because this will be huge.  You can visit their website at www.leapmotion.com.

Imagine much more complex and accurate video games, robotics projects… not to mention Minority Report like computer controls…  I just want a fitness game that makes me feel like a Dragon Ball Z character… that’s not too much to ask right?  Don’t judge… watching Dragon Ball Z was a totally respectable hobby at some point… your memory is just clouded.

Update: The video preview from their site below.

My 2nd SearchShots Article - Who Spiked the Search


I wrote my second article for Razorfish SearchShots last week and wrote another covering the news on Google Chromebooks just for fun and it looks like both will be published!

I’m not gonna lie, that is pretty exciting for me given that I have never written anything worth publishing and was a pretty terrible writer in school…not to say this is any better but at least I’ve found an outlet with low expectations :)

Please check out my second “Who Spiked The Search” article above (by clicking on the title/link) and share and comment the fluff out of it all over the web!
