Introducing the Leap. Say Goodbye to Touchscreen, Mouse and Keyboard

The Leap looks to change the way we interact with our computers.. Here’s how they tell it:

In the beginning was the command line. And vacuum tubes, punch cards, keyboards, and mice. After all these years, we still use the standard tools to control our computers. But what if there was something more?

There is, and it is here: The Leap. A revolutionary piece of hardware no larger than your iPod that’s two hundred times more accurate than any product currently on the market. With The Leap, tomorrow you will no longer be tethered to hardware. With The Leap, imaginations will run wild, and possibilities will be endless.

Leap represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It’s more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen. For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.

This isn’t a game system that roughly maps your hand movements. The Leap technology is 200 times more accurate than anything else on the market — at any price point. Just about the size of a flash drive, the Leap can distinguish your individual fingers and track your movements down
to a 1/100th of a millimeter.

The Leap is now on pre-orde for $70.
