I don't really understand how reaching out and waving my hand to scroll a page is a step forward from simply using a scroll wheel on the mouse which is already under my hand. Even if its not under my hand, my peripheral vision is good enough that I don't need to break focus on what I'm reading to position my hand on the mouse.....
I totally accept that commenting on a LEAP with out first using one could / will make me look stupid.
- nairteashop 13y agoI guess this boils down to personal preferences. When reading a full page of text I usually take my hands off the keyboard/mouse and lean back. Not having to find the mouse every so often is nice. Again, I'm not saying that using the Leap for OS interaction is ground-breaking and akin to the first time I ever used a mouse - it's simply a nice addition to my current setup.

It does, however, let you accomplish "science fiction" effects like changing the camera position on a 3D model far, far more easily than the mouse.
- clarky07 13y agoIs it better than a touchpad? My iPad with touch does rotating and zooming really well. I can see this being an awesome technology in an operating room where they don't want to touch things for sanitation reasons. I have a hard time imagining how it is useful in my day to day use of a computer.
