Tiny device. Huge possibilities.
The Leap Motion Controller is sleek, light, and small – just 3 inches long. It takes up hardly any room on your desk, but has a wide 150° field of view, and transforms the space above into a 3D interface for your hands. It works alongside your keyboard, mouse, stylus, or trackpad for a richer and more natural 3D computing experience. With the Leap Motion software running, just plug the device into the USB port on your Mac or PC, and you’re ready to start exploring.
The Leap Motion Controller uses infrared cameras and highly complex mathematical algorithms to translate hand and finger movements into 3D input. This unique approach allows Leap Motion technology to be significantly more accurate than other motion-control technologies -- and it’s constantly improving. With free, automatic software updates, you can always have access to the latest features and enhancements.
Try your hand at something new.
Compose a tune or dissect a spider. Soar through the sky like a superhero or flip through slides with a flick of your wrist. Reach out and grab a virtual heart, or sculpt clay with your hands. With just a swipe of your finger or wave of your hand, you’re in control. Over 200 apps in the Leap Motion App Store means there’s always something new to discover.
With the introductory app Shortcuts, your computer becomes a gesture-controlled digital command center. Play your favorite music and videos, scroll through web pages and documents, or switch between apps with the wave of a hand -- and with future upgrades and new features, this is only the beginning.

(VR Info added too)
I don't like giving negative product reviews, but I feel like this device may be a bit misleading for some.
Originally, I was very excited about this product. I tinker with things like the Microsoft Kinect, 3D mice, motion capture equipment and the Oculus Rift, and I thought this device would be a 'Kinect killer' of some sort. At one point during a press video, the Leap is shown displaying a pointcloud of the operator's hands, suggesting that the device was actually generating said pointcloud to do its calculations.
In reality, the Leap Motion actually uses complex algorithms to generate a best guess as to the position and orientation of the operator's hands. When you turn your hand sideways (not flat as shown in the pictures), it instantly loses track, so all gestures must be with a palm-flat orientation. Additionally, when you close your hand into a fist, it panics while trying to discern if it is seeing a fist or a single pointing finger. These things place huge limitations on how many, and what types of gestures one can make.
Please note that I tested my Leap on two computers, both with more than enough processing power, and both with USB 3.0. I ran all of the diagnostics, used the latest version of the software and drivers, and made sure environmental factors such as bright sunlight were not interfering.
Even with my precautions, I've yet to find a single app that allows me to do anything that can't be done with a mouse/keyboard or 3D mouse. As a pointer device, there is too much interpolation (Your finger will be stationary, the device will 'zero in' on its position, causing the on-screen pointer to slowly slide into place) and no 1 to 1 accuracy.Read more ›

Sending feedback...
The LEAP Motion is a tricky device to review. It's largely a solution looking for a problem, which I would generally rate poorly. However, it's a very well executed solution... which sent me searching for a problem to solve with it. I'm a programmer and tinkerer, and I particularly enjoy building LED art. The LEAP turned out to be quite fantastic for controlling LEDs. It's easy to program for -- you can even code for it directly from the browser in javascript. Their APIs are well maintained and simple.
People come up to a LEAP-enabled piece of art and have no trouble figuring out how to use it. It's quite fun to watch people play with it and teach others.
All that being said, however, I'm not sure what I'd do with the thing if I weren't a programmer with an applicable problem to solve with it. I've always been skeptical of novel input devices that are supposed to be better than the mouse-and-keyboard that basically all our software is designed exclusively to work with.
Buy a Leap (while they're still made) if you like tinkering, or if there is a particular piece of software that you know works well with it. Otherwise, you're better off buying a nicer mouse and keyboard.
