This could change our world...

Isn't it amazing how prescient science fiction can be? Do you remember the computer interfaces in Minority Report and the way Tom Cruise was able to pull pieces of content around on a screen simply by swiping his hands? We now all take it for granted that we can do that on tablets and smartphones, but even that relies on touching a screen and allows only a two dimensional interaction. 


Well Leap Motion is about to change all that. An amazingly clever little gadget, when this is released in December it will allow users to interact with content in a 3 dimensional space in front of their monitor. This means you'll be able to produce three dimensional images, moves things around and navigate through content with just fingers or any other objects you care to pick up. The possibilities are boundless.

Take a look at the video below for a clearer picture. There are desktop mice all over the world fearing for their future...
