The Leap Motion tracking device has launched, and can be ordered online for \u20ac61.99 (R800*). The device can be purchased and shipped to South Africa for \u20ac95.76 (R1,240*)<\/p>\n

Leap Motion\u2019s technology is a USB motion tracking device, which claims to have 200-times more accuracy than rivals in the market, such as Microsoft\u2019s Kinect system.<\/p>\n

The device creates a tracking field above your desk, which allows for finger movements and hand gestures to be tracked.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
