wurstcola Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I found this today and I am wondering what you think of it: as far as I understand it's something like the Kinect only way more precisely. I havent' found any system requirements, but right now you can pre-order this thing for 69$ plus shipping, which seems to be a kindo no-brainer. So.What do you think? Worth the money? Maybe just crap? Awesome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'm really curious how they do that at 0.57, how they figure out what the heck your fingers are doing in 3D. Nice work though Also, good news that they'll work with Windows 8 native according to their website http://leapmotion.com/ Might be buying one in a couple of months just because it's awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wurstcola Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 rolf where did you find the system requirements? I'm curious if I'll need to upgrade to OS X Lion or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajnl Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 well atm how they do it for the FPS games looks annoying. Also, it seems worthless to write like that. But manipulating stuff on your screen like 3d images, websites, programs, that looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 @wurstcola: http://live.leapmotion.com/about.html it's not a straightforward list, but with ctrl+f you'll find it. MacOS is also supported, but I can't find from which version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajnl Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) well, decided to pre-order mine Edited July 18, 2012 by ajnl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentikins Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I was thinking about pre-ordering one but then realised how weird I would look using it, as I take my laptop out often. Good concept, not sure if it'll ship out in time as the current prototype looks nothing like as advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulsaGeoff Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Looks cool! Hopefully it progresses technology. It is priced where alot of people can purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Looks cool but not sure if it would be more efficient than our current user interfaces. Would be exhausting to hold my arm up like that for a 4 hour COD session! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulsaGeoff Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Terrible for FPS, but it may have its uses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be exhausting to hold my arm up like that for a 4 hour COD session! I think certain things will be quicker/easier. Plus it'll be fun to mess around with. Meh might be a work out at the same time Terrible for FPS, but it may have its uses Yeah I agree, can't wait to test it out, to see where it could benefit and where it doesn't help at all.
