Video via YouTube

For all the advancements we see in computer hardware technology year over year, our input devices don’t exactly seem to follow Moore’s Law. Can we do better than the keyboard? Will the mouse or trackpad ever be obsolete? If you haven’t already, go ahead and click play on that video above.

Impressive, no? Leap doesn’t eliminate the need for computer inputs—afterall, it is itself a computer input. But it does eliminate the need for inputs you have to touch, something we’ve been promised since Minority Report, but haven’t fully realized with Wii or Kinect. With technology that’s “200 times more accurate than anything else on the market”, and weighing in at just $70 (preorder), Leap may just live up to its name.
