..facinating..so...

if it's radio based, you could make a control panel from a material that is transparent to radio waves (wood comes to mind) and equip it with passive switches and controls..

just a thought :cool:

Well they certainly got my attention, not a bad price either...

Thanks for the post. Absolutely interesting!

EDIT: Pre-ordered. When TrackIR first came out, a friend reckoned I was "crazy" for spending so much on such a new gadget. I could see the potential in that and Leap Motion has some really exciting possibilities IMHO. Anyway, the pre-order can be cancelled at any time if desired. I'll be keeping an eye on developments. :-D

If you can aim and 'touch' any switch with your finger ......, and it's cleaner than a touch screen (you can be eating a nice and fatty cheeseburger at the same time without the need to rub the screen after ;o) ) . And I wonder if the device can follow your finger up to the screen's surface and therefore activate switches as a touch screen aswell.

Anyway, let's hope for the best in a very close future. You can pre-order The Leap now for 70$, delivering this year's end or next's first months.

It would all depend on whether Leap interacts with apps and games as is or needs the developers to write the code to enable it. As they are providing a SDK I think the latter more likely in which case we would be waiting on Luthier.

Or simply print a view of the cockpit's console on your color printer and tht's it !

But radio frequency on hands might hve a negative physiological impact with the time. I Wonder what are the values selected.
