This is fantastic - and priced around £50... I want one! :)

I saw something on the news about this ages ago, apparently not as good as the advertisng spiel.
-
I'd like to know if standard Apple Software works with this device ?
-
I was told it works with Apple and PC version was in the pipeline.
-
That didn't answer my question ;)
You getting into politics :))
-
I've only seen the videos and didn't realise I'd be tested on my knowledge :P
-
The device must, 'emulate(copy)', a keyboard, mouse, or graphics tablet. (Input device)
If there's something your mouse or keyboard can do with the software your using, zoom in/out for example,
this device could do the same by picking up your hand movements.
The writing on screen is more complex, the software on the computer would have to be geared up to accept this type of input.
It looks amazing, but to Joe Bloggs, not worth £50. He won't be able to use it on a daily basis without specialist software.
IMHO of course ;)
Hope you get my drift.
-
I'm guessing any software would be bundled with the device. But I don't know for sure.
Possibly not worth £50 to Joe Bloggs who uses a computer as a simple tool. But considering a decent night out with your partner would start at £50, I don't think it is price prohibitive to someone who is fond of new technology and gadgets.
IMHO of course. :)
-
Couple that to a Raspberry Pi, have your entire DVD collection connected by XDMCVDBC or whatever it's called ;)
Now you have a gadget, move your film catalogue around on screen, stream them to any room in the house, theatre etc
And never touch the screen, just move your arms, fingers O0
Wasn't pulling it down. But no use to Joe Bloggs, it needs specific software to be usefull :-X
-
Not got XDMCVDBC yet - is it worth the money? ;)
Knowing my luck, if I did wire the house for DVDs as you described, every time me and 'er had a row, it would keep changing the movie we were watching... :-[
-
Suppose that's down to who's got the longer arms ;D
-
Yeah, but she's only got two arms - and I might get my kn*b out... :)) 8)
-
Guess she still wins 8)
-
:(
-
Back to the subject - with further development it could be useful to those who (like me) have arthritis but after looking at the videos it seems to be little more than a toy at the moment.
-
I agree 100% Dave.
My 'argument', 'comment', was, who is going to write the software.
Am I in the wrong job ???
-
The software is already written or it wouldn't work.
I don't understand what you are saying.
-
But considering a decent night out with your partner would start at £50,
Oh no it doesn't with my 'partner'!! :D
-
Am I mistaken or is this simply the logical extension of the user interfaces now being used on games machines such as the XBox and PS3?
-
That's one way of putting it Jon - it reads movement and gestures.

@ Fly "After installing the Leap software, you merely wave your hand to calibrate the device, and then you can use the Leap with your hand and finger movements to control your computer."

I can't wait to see this in Word or Excel. or the Apple equivalents. C:-)
Still think you're missing my point.
And yes, I'll appologise publicly if I'm wrong. :(
-
>> Still think you're missing my point.
I think that too - what did you mean?
