Bestazy Verdict
Throw away your mouse, throw away your keyboard, through away your joystick, throw away your controller. The Leap Motion Controller is here.
It plugs in to both Mac and PC to turn your hands into the controller.
Use it for games, use it to scroll through documents, use it to draw.
It’s like being Mickey Mouse in Fantasia when he’s controlling the water fountains. That was awesome, and LEAP gives you the power to become that awesome.
This is the technology that we were promised in the 80s. It’s here! Next step: controlling things with our MINDS. But for now, let’s use our hands and conduct our way to fun and productivity. Great work, Leap Motion Controller.
