Leap Motion is quickly nearing the late July release date for its
controller and, starting this week, it will be rolling out the next
phase of its beta test (which includes an app store — more on that
below), to its early access developer community of over 10,000
developers.Gearing up for the big release, the company also has plans to
open up its developer portal to the public later this week, giving
developers who are interested in Leap but aren't currently in the beta
the ability to get familiar with Leap’s developer tools and plan for
development once their device arrives in July.If you’re not familiar

to your computer, reminiscent of the way Tony Stark interacts with his
computers in Iron Man.With the controller, you can navigate through your
Windows 8 Start screen by waving your hands in the air, and launch and
play games on your PC without ever touching the keyboard.“We have the
only technology in the world that is able to track 10 fingers, two
hands, with a lot of accuracy,” Michael Buckwald, co-founder and CEO of
Leap Motion told Mashable.Leap can track movement to a 100th of a
millimeter, which Buckwald says is hundreds of times greater than the
state of the art motion tracking devices.Vintage faucets accessories

Controller we saw several months ago and what’s available today comes
in the form of applications. Leap has developed a demo for the
controller that lets you see on the screen what the controller sees. One
demo even goes as far as to show how the Leap Motion Controller sees
your hands: an astounding display that shows each individual finger and
can detect even the smallest turn of your wrist.Cheap Personalized

quite a few games that take advantage of the controller. I had the
opportunity to play Boom Ball, a ping-pong style game in which you use
your hands to hit a virtual ball into a pile of blocks to knock them
down.I also saw a Jenga-style game called Block 54, which allows you to
use two fingers — just as you might in a real-world situation — to pull
out blocks from the game. It was a demonstration of just how accurate
the leap Motion Controller can be, and what you could potentially do
with it.
Airspace
Another new addition to Leap is Airspace, a
discovery platform where Leap Motion Controller owners can look for new
apps to use along with the controller. On your computer, apps are
stored in a desktop launcher called Airspace Home. Home will house all
of the apps you download to use with the controller, but will also bring
in any apps you might already have on your computer that are taking
advantages of the Leap Motion API. For instance, the traditional Google
Earth app can already be explored using Leap Motion, letting you fly
high above the city of your choice for an earth experience like no
other.The Airspace app store is where developers will ultimately sell
their apps. Buckwald says that apps will be a mix of free and paid.
Prices for apps will range from 99 cents for some games, to over $500
for some professional programs.Currently the store has around 50 apps
available, a number which is expected to dramatically increase as the
device gets closer to launch time. A number of big-name publishers such
as Corel and Autodesk have also committed to making applications for the
platform.The advances Leap Motion is showing off now are only just the
beginning. Highland Capital Partners, which led the Series A investment
for Leap, recently announced the Leap Fund, a $25 million investment

expected to ship to pre-order customers on July 22, and will also be
available after launch at Best Buy stores nationwide. HP and Asus have
also made plans to include the technology in some upcoming PCs.What do
