Leap Motion PC motion control launched, SA pricing

The Leap Motion tracking device has launched, and can be ordered online for €61.99 (R800*). The device can be purchased and shipped to South Africa for €95.76 (R1,240*)

Leap Motion’s technology is a USB motion tracking device, which claims to have 200-times more accuracy than rivals in the market, such as Microsoft’s Kinect system.

The device creates a tracking field above your desk, which allows for finger movements and hand gestures to be tracked.

Thanks to individual finger tracking, Leap Motion could open the door to more interactive gesture-based game control, such as selecting and commanding units in strategy games. Players could emulate mouse controls and clicks, or even conceptualise a whole new gesture system to speed up gameplay.
