    Too cool- so cool in fact it's going to be this years birthday gift
    http://leapmotion.com/

    Reviews state it as being incredibly accurate and spot on in terms of functionality. Plus, I can't argue with that price either.

    Thoughts, anyone?

    Looks like someone hacked the Xbox Kinect apart, improved it 1,000,000 times over, ditched the cameras and motorized base, and shrunk it down to a more portable size. And that price? Epic win.

    I'll be pre-ordering one, so I'll be sure to do a review.

    Impressive technology, but useless outside of very specialized applications. It looks cool when Tony Stark is flinging around holograms with his fingers in "Iron Man", but in real life gimmick interfaces are just a pain. I don't want to have to reach out and grab and twist to scroll things around when an arrow key will do.

    ...seriously?
    Yet another cool-looking but pointless device, I guess it's good for presentations, but THAT close to the screen?
