Leap Motion goes hands-free with Windows 8 video demo
Leap Motion has released a new video that demos the powerful gesture technology of its PC and Mac compatible device. We already knew how accurate the ten-finger motion controller is, but this is the first time we’ve seen it officially demoed with Windows 8. Matter of fact, Leap Motion looks so fun and fast on Windows 8 that it practically makes the OS seem exciting again.

It’s hard to disagree with that.
Leap Motion will cost US$79.99 and starts shipping 22 July 2013 for PC and Mac
