Motion Gaming on the PC? Introducing the Leap!

Before you even read this, watch the video if you haven't! Yeah, yeah I know, it's impressive isn't it? Ok so what exactly is the Leap? The Leap is a device that creates a 3D space space around your laptop or desktop computer. It's a space of 8 cubic feet and in this space, the Leap can tell the difference between your hands, each individual finger and other items such as pens or the chopsticks you saw in the video. The Leap is about 200 times more sensitive than any other device on the market, yes even more sensitive than the Kinect. While the Leap can be used for many things like engineering, graphs, and art, our main focus will be gaming for this review. It took 4 years to develop this technology and from what we have seen in this video it will destroy the motion gaming competition. Imagine starting up your game just by pinching the icon in your computer screen without actually touching anything, or how about shooting your gun at enemy soldiers in Call of Duty just by point at them with your finger and clicking down your thumb like when you were a kid. With the Leap this is all possible. As of right now the Leap supports iOS and Windows and Linux support is next. Let's talk about price now, because I bet you are surely asking how much does this artifact that most likely works on witchcraft and elf blood cost? A deal with the devil? My soul? Nope! You will not believe it, the Leap's introductory price is $69.99, yes ladies and gentlemen cheaper than a Wii, Kinect or PS Move at launch! If you want to be early adopters Leapmotion.com is having a limited number available for pre-order on their website, and pre-orders will be shipped between December 2012 and January 2013 the official date has not been released yet. Can the Leap bring motion gaming back to life? Will it become the new standard for using a computer? We will find out in a couple of months and Drake's Reviews will have all the information you need, we have our Leap on pre-order already!
