Leap-Motion's fledgling company developed a simple, robust, and cheap device capable of accurately registering hand and finger movements. I predict this device will expand and become a de facto interface integrated into the next generation of computers, phones, and other devices which would benefit from hands-free movement-based interactions. Watch these two videos to get an understanding on how simple yet accurate the controller is and you'll agree how instrumental it'll be in future devices. I'd love to see it embedded into Google-Glass.

Interfaces: New Advances
On May 13th, 2013, Leap-Motion begins selling their new computer interface which will boost Windows 8's market share. There's no surprise Microsoft envisioned a touch-based interface when designing Metro. Where Microsoft went wrong is not taking advantage of their XBOX360 Kinect product. They missed an opportunity to lead the market on gestural input designs. Instead, developers hacked the product and created their own solutions. Microsoft finally created an SDK but after the horse had bolted. Microsoft should have bundled a Kinect-like device with Windows 8 and capture this new interface market.
