Overall I would say devs aren't keen on either OpenGL or DirectX 11, but between the two DX11 seems to be more well regarded. DirectX 12 looks like a good step forward, but many eyes are following Mantle[1] and Metal[2] to see if they

Is it possible to use a Leap Motion? I don't think it has a video camera in it, but could it still be used to do 3D scanning?
