Leap Motion’s amazing-looking gesture control debuted last May, and has had developers crawling all over it ever since. Now, Asus has announced that it’s teaming up with the company to produce a range of computers using the tech — and they should be here this year.
The computer manufacturer has announced that the technology will be rolled into new high-end notebooks and premium All-in-One PCs. With 12,000 developers already working with the device, it seems likely that the new Asus models could offer up some powerful software from the off, too.
Last May, Leap Motion claimed the new technology was 200 times more accurate than anything else on the market, capable of imaging all ten of your fingers, over a 150-degree field of view, at 290 frames per second. The demo video above gives a flavour for exactly what that means: sick gesture control, like you’ve never, ever used before. We can’t wait for them to arrive. [Engadget]

Is This the Best Gesture Control System Ever?
Impressive, let’s see how it fares over time
Still waiting for any news about my Leap unit, which I pre-ordered months and months ago!
I cancelled my order because I found out that the device wasn’t wireless, though I’m sorely tempted to reorder simply because the device looks amazing and I’m unlikely to be able to afford a high end netbook or all-in-one anytime soon. (Not with my plans to save, anyway. )
This idea seems primitive compare to kinect.
Move along people, we’ve got a troll.
Still only capable of 10 fingers? What about my p***s? Niche market available, 11 points of contact.
I’m sure there’d be a dimension restriction so it may not be able to detect your p***s
Not sure if complimenting or insulting my size.
From the title i thought the technology would involve people vomiting out or over the screen. Disappointing
