I also own one and have started developing a 3D painting application with it. It's magical, like playing with a touchscreen was magical. BTW, this post reveals a bit more information than Leap Motion would like developers to reveal. Essentially, OP broke the agreement.

If you are allowed to comment, what exactly did leap not want to be revealed?

  How the API works: what and how it tracks. Almost all the key parts are revealed in the post, something makers of Leap didn't want to leak early and did made their point very clear multiple times throughout registration process.

    Have you been turning down a lot of people who are interested in seeing your Leap setup? How secretive do they want you to be?

      It seems like they encourage sharing demos / videos, as long as we don't talk about API. So I've been talking with other friends quite freely about Leap: after all, most people are not interested in inner-workings as much as just the magic of wiggling a finger in the air and see computer respond immediately and precisely.

        Do you have a demo vid or even a screenshot of anything painted with your 3D painting app? I'd like to see it. I am imagining something along the lines of paint with silk, but volumetric.

        Not yet. The idea is to draw variable width ribbons in the air - but given my total lack of experience in programatic 3D modelling, I'm moving very slowly towards this goal.

        Then I certainly wish you luck and success in your learning process. Hopefully you'll come back and post something, if not her then on reddit.

        I asked if I could release data I've recorded off the JavaScript API and they were okay with it-- they even retweeted it. Anyways, here are a bunch of gestures as JSON arrays. I posted a demo gallery link lower in the thread as well. https://github.com/syntagmatic/leap-play/tree/master/data/gestures https://github.com/syntagmatic/leap-play/tree/master/data/ge...

A buddy of mine did a weekend hackathon with the PR2 (humanoid mobile robot) using a Leap to perform manipulation via gesture-controlled teleoperation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDEb_0HpgVA&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDEb_0HpgVA&feature=youtu... IIRC, they released the code as open source.
