I have no interest in having with my DAW but
I can see where this might be handy if placed within reach
while playing/holding my guitars.
 
 
Would be cool to reach out in the air and push a level slider up or turn a know
without having to reach to a screen.
Not that it will do that...I don't know but maybe down the road.
(at work and can't watch the video)

Imagine when it's all eye scan control.
 
I'll just glance at my amp and give it "the look".
 
Kinda like I do with the drummer.

Leap Motion.
 
 

Yeah man!

THIS is what i crave now....

This looks really cool.....
 
From the little I read on it, you actually don't need a touchscreen nor need to touch the screen , just Win 7 or 8 + USB2.
 
They advertise it as:
"The Leap Motion Controller tracks all 10 fingers up to 1/100th of a millimeter. It's dramatically more sensitive than existing motion control technology. That's how you can draw or paint mini masterpieces inside a one-inch cube."
 
I'd like to see how this pans out in actual useage on day to day activities.....

Man if my kid had that....now she could design some shirts.
She's kickin' in CO right now but before she left she was asking
if she could setup a paypal account...people wanting to buy her
art.  LOL the kid's spunky.
 
 
She's used a Bamboo pen for years.

Nice thing about that unit is that it is actually a very mature technology.
 
As a matter of fact, my latest $60 Bamboo tablet was running multi touch with my fingers on my new Win7 Daw before I figured out how to turn it off. I couldn't figure out why the pen was acting so weird and then it all made sense. :-S

I have a Bamboo (well, actually I gave it to my grandson). The thing about the Bamboo (to me) is that it's still too far away from the screen and so it's still just a mouse (to my pea brain). 

back to the OP......
 
I wonder what would happen if (somehow) flies (or bees or flying cockroaches) breezed over that thing.
