Today PC giant HP added its name to the list of Leap Motion’s design wins, along with previously announced Asus, retail partner Best Buy and new reseller Amazon UK. Claimed to detect motions as small as 0.01 millimeters, and capable of tracking all ten fingers at up to 290 frames per second, the Leap is certainly a breakthrough in sheer precision and speed for gesture-based computer control. Both Asus and HP will be bundling Leap’s controller with some of their computers. Asus will ship Leap with its higher-end notebooks and all-in-one PCs, and HP with “select HP personal computers.” HP is committed to going a step further, by creating “unique devices embedded with Leap’s technology,” although no specifics have been announced yet. HP’s Ron Coughlin, senior vice president of consumer PCs, stressed Leap’s ability to take “customers to the next level when creating and interacting with digital content,” so maybe we can expect some nifty HP-branded peripherals for digital artists. Just as important for its OEMs as its technical specs, Leap brings with it an impressive number of application developers. Leap has sent out at least 12,000 free developer units over the last few months (culled from over 40,000 requests). Even allowing for fallout, that will still mean an impressive array of Leap-enabled applications that take advantage of its unique capabilities. Leap has said that it expects application versions from many big-name developers including Autodesk, Disney, and Corel. <img src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Leap-Motion-in-action-controlling-a-3D-laptop-application.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Leap is smart to be driving hard to create an ecosystem for unique applications, as the easier task of simply controlling computer (and phone) UIs with gestures is a task that will soon be easily accomplished with front-facing cameras and some of the computational power available in modern CPUs and GPUs. To justify the additional cost of a Leap ($79 at retail, probably $20 in parts), it needs to do something beyond simply allowing the user to swipe aside windows or pinch to zoom. හොද නම් රෙපක් දාගෙන අනික් අයට බලන්න BUMP එකකුත් දාල යන්ඩ හොඳේ...!! </blockquote>
