I work on adaptive mobile robots as part of my research, and I'd be very interested to see how the LEAP compares to the Kinect in this area. I submitted a developer kit request, so maybe I'll get to find out. Also, from the Ars Technica post on LEAP: "The company says the breakthrough in resolution comes not from the hardware, which consists of relatively standard parts, but from what CTO David Holz calls 'a number of major algorithmic and mathematical problems that had not been solved or were considered unsolvable.'" I'm conflicted by that statement. As a current academic, I hope they publish these supposed breakthroughs, as hiding them behind trade secrets makes me sad. As an entrepreneurial-minded person, however, I understand the desire for competitive advantage.
