[QUOTE=CubeManv2;36039152]use Half-Life 2: Lost Coast demo, instant sucess[/QUOTE] Fixed.
"The Leap will retail for $69.99" Wow.

I hope it works just as well as it did in that video.
does this mean you have to stand a meter infront of that 'tv'
[QUOTE=BlueYoshi;36039185]Fixed.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=CubeManv2;36039152]Use Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, instant sucess.[/QUOTE] Fixed. (v1.02)
[QUOTE=Xephio;36039467]does this mean you have to stand a meter infront of that 'tv'[/QUOTE] Monitor.
Wow looks sick. Even better than that minority report project thing.
Fucking technology man
Well, it won't work as well as in the video anyways.
Not gonna be successful. Or maybe successful, but certainly not useful. You're gonna get sore arms/wrist within an hour or less depending on what you're doing (especially playing shooters with your arm stretched out like that)...

This is not bad at all. [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] Why I didn't think of this before?
[QUOTE=Reader;36040266]This is not bad at all. [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] Why I didn't think of this before?[/QUOTE] Because when sitting at your desk using your mouse through minuscule hand and wrist motions while resting its entire weight flat on the table you didn't suddenly think "Gee, it would be a lot more comfortable to raise my arm and hold it up towards the monitor, and/or or strainfully bend my wrist and hand upwards from its comfy position on the table to make swiping motions towards the screen". [QUOTE=FPtje;36040239]Can't you rest your elbows on your desk while moving your hands and fingers?[/QUOTE] It appears that the input detection operates by measuring the proximity of your fingers to the screen surface, so you're always required to hold your hand out forwards slightly. Even if you're resting your elbows on the table top you're still straining muscles holding the hand out, as opposed to holding a controller/mouse and not using any muscles at all except when you're actively interacting with the system. The law is simple; the input method with least effort required will always be preferred. In other words, laziness always wins. This new input method is a very, very close one but it's still not as lazy as mouse/controllers.
That's just holy shit
I have a suggestion that would make this better; Detach the motion detector from the screen and pack it to a small USB peripheral that you place somewhere near where the mouse would normally be. That way you can make really small motions with your hand/fingers without really lifting your hand off the desktop, but you won't have to hold onto a sweaty bacteria-teeming mouse. EDIT: Nevermind, that's actually exactly what it does, lol. Retarded youtube buffering caused the first few secs of the video to skip for me, never saw that it's really a peripheral like I wished. Still gonna be pretty painful to use a lot unless it can read your hand motions without your hand hovering above it though. [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] Yes my mouse has semen on it, yours has too.
anything that makes my life harder is not something i'm going to pay money for
Basically, I'm now Tony Stark. Unfortunately they're not doing any international pre-orders yet, but this is something I wouldn't mind reviews on before purchasing. Imagine having this in like a Macbook Pro or any laptop, would be slick as fuck.
so how do you click?
Holy shit. That is ridiculous....I wonder how it works...I can't really think of anything other than it using SONAR since I see no visible sensors on it...
And how long before people use their dicks to control stuff.

the apple logo is flipped at 0:36 so am i right in assuming that apple had no part in making this and they were just using an apple monitor?
[QUOTE=amcfaggot;36042168]tie three or four wieners around your existing man-sausage and maybe it'll detect it[/QUOTE] That's pretty gay. Why would you tie a bunch of dicks together? [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] Also on topic: I don't see people using this as an all-the-time product, but I can see it being very useful (and fun) in short bursts for specific activities.
[QUOTE=Applecrap;36044072]the apple logo is flipped at 0:36 so am i right in assuming that apple had no part in making this and they were just using an apple monitor?[/QUOTE] if apple did anything the music would be way more hip, there would be giggling males with salt and pepper hair / beards enjoying it with their kids, and it would have the logo throughout the whole thing. [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] i'm gonna use this with a projector, and play eve with it.
For a moment I thought this was an apple product.
Please tell me this isn't just for macs.
