... they upgrade it to orion this might be a good investement in a future
there arent too much aplicacion since they upgrade it to orion this might be a good investement in a future , if you are a develeper i highly suggest you this items so u can do mechatronic stuff with it , and lot of stuff , if you are a gamer this is not for you but you still might want it for the fun to try out the new apps , if you are non a gamer it might be cool for you , but be warned you can only use the apps and games from leapmotion website , this device is not for running it on comercial games , orion update on this device made the desktop app go to waste since they had an emulator to play with , and the track of the hands still buggy , if you put 2 hands to clap with device it will get glitchy it work mostly with one hand .and they need to update this a lot.

Interesting Little Device.
The Leap hardware is actually quite unassuming, considering its capabilities. It's just over three inches long, an inch wide and less than a half-inch thick (79 x 30 x 11mm), with a glossy black panel on top, behind which resides the infrared sensors. On the bottom, you'll find a black rubber panel embossed with the Leap Motion logo. The edge, meanwhile, is ringed with a seamless aluminum band, save for a USB 3.0 Micro-B port on the left side (though the device runs at USB 2.0 speeds). There's also a slim LED power / status indicator on the front edge. Alas, as of this writing, the company wasn't able to reveal more specifics about the internals themselves, thanks to pending patent considerations. Along with the controller itself, users get a pair of USB 3.0 cables in the box -- a 5-foot and a 2-foot cord.Keep in mind, the Leap is different from a Kinect sensor bar in more than just its size and appearance. Leap works using infrared optics and cameras instead of depth sensors, and does not cover as large an area as Microsoft's gestured controller. Leap does its motion sensing at a fidelity unmatched by any depth camera currently available: it can track all 10 of your fingers simultaneously to within a hundredth of a millimeter with a latency lower than the refresh rate on your monitor. Of course, that tracking ability isn't just about the hardware, and the capabilities of the Leap are only realized by the software built to work with it.Summary: The Leap Motion controller is well-constructed and relatively inexpensive. However, it's more a novelty than a tool -- best served as a means for entertainment, not productivity.Disclaimer: I have obtained this product for a slight discount. This dose NOT effect my opinion on this product.

I had high hopes
The hardware of the device is well made and is well packaged.However, I found the overall experience to be very poor. I have a very high end system but found that I constantly had the device stop responding due to what it was claiming to be a slow USB bus. I have all USB 3.0 ports and run multiple external USB 3.0 devices including a 1TB SSD without any issues. It feels as if the product has not been completed and is really not much more than an experiment. Which is too bad since I had my eye on the development of the Leap quite some time ago. I found the apps to be very slow and often unresponsive or would crash altogether. I also tried to use it as a system device and found no advantage to trying to learn how it works versus a typical mouse.

A toy
Does not work without their proprietary store. Does not work as windows controller with default software. Have to sign in and give them email address just to install some software that kind of makes it work. Not a real device...more of a toy. Would not recommend.

Will entertain you for a day
Nifty while I tried it, but I just don't understand what the roadmap is for this product. If you're a developer, there's a lot to dig into and play with. If you're a hobbyist, you might get more than a day of curiosity out of it. But there are no particularly lasting experiences for regular people.I've heard you can plop the thing onto the front of a VR headset for some motion detection, but it's "in development" and incomplete. Rumors of an Android SDK have been around for a few years now, which you still have to email an employee to get access to, which doesn't sound good for how far along it's gotten. Honestly, I think we'll see market-ready motion detection from Oculus, HTC, and Samsung before this crosses whatever milestone makes it a viable add-on.The uncertainty about its future in VR is unfortunate, because the alternative use cases aren't much to feel better about. Detection is laggy and the cable means there's no way for this to look attractive on a desk. Don't expect it to blend into your workstation. Existing applications still somehow all seem to be little more than technology demos, concepts, and the kind of games you would've found on Linux in the 90s.Get this if you're a developer with disposable income and a desire to do a little experimenting with everything you can get your hands on in the VR space, but treat this like Google Cardboard -- something cheap and accessible to start learning from, but definitely not where things are going to end up.

Awesome for VR, but not a practical way of controlling things in game.
I bought this for use in Virtual Reality applications, and so far I have been pretty impressed with its performance for the price I paid. Do not buy this expecting perfect hand recognition and finger tracking because it is far from being able to pick up any hand gestures, and you can easily lose tracking if you move your hands too fast, put them together or do an odd hand gesture. Overall this is just a really interesting feature for what I use it for as it adds immersion that I never really thought was possible (When tracking correctly or at all).I would not recommend this if you're looking to play mini games with your hands, it just seems like it wouldn't work well and it would just end up not being fun.

Exactly what I expected
The delivery was faster than the estimation (I received it on June 3 while they estimated June 11-29)Those leap motion are real and very cheap which is surprising considering other sellers sells them for about $70. I do not regret buying from this seller. I bought the Leap Motion to use with my Vive headset to exploit Orion and it works amazingly well.

Leap motion
I use leap motion with my Oculus DK2 and FSX steam edition. It works very well for me.

With the right expectation, it is a great tool
nice product with great price!Will see what it can do with their developer kit.

but it shows some great promise. The website for the Leap Motion is ...
It's the real deal. Using this with Riftcat/Gear VR right now. Brings you one step closer to a discount Vive setup.Drivers are still in Beta or Vive tracking, but it shows some great promise.The website for the Leap Motion is fantastic, and provides very easy navigation, and looks really promising for any future development.

perfect condition, same as if you were to buy ...
Comes in package, perfect condition, same as if you were to buy it from the Leap Motion website. Highly recommend!
