Gesture based Navigation is real now!

In 2002, when I watched Minority Report, I thought, it's just impossible to navigate the screens the way Tom Cruise was navigating through screens in the movie. In 2008, when the Iron Man came out, I was little convinced that maybe, we have the technology available to make this possible!

4 years later, with the Leap Motions "The Leap" gesture based navigation is a reality now. This device is a tiny candy bar shaped device connects to any computer via USB and emits infrared light that recognizes objects like fingers, hands, pens and even chopsticks - within a distance roughly to arm's-length.

Hollywood proved it once again that it is always ahead of time in setting the technology trends...Hmmm...

"The Leap" will be in market in this winter for just about $70. You can pre-order it now @
