The Leap Motion, is a small device that plugs into the USB Port of a computer and tracks your hands. While it sounded good on paper, reviewers found it a bit lacking on accuracy.
Leap Motion receives a new update to its tracking software, now up to Version 2. It still isn’t completed, but it has been released as a beta for developers.
It has improved resistance to infrared-light, but the big thing is the update to its tracking:
If a part of your finger is hidden from the sensor’s view it is able to predict what it is doing by observing your bone movement and predict that part’s location in conjunction to it.
This also means that the Leap Motion’s level of tracking has grown more sophisticated and can now track your finger joints, which is a massive improvement over the earlier software which could only track your whole finger’s movement, not only a part of it.
As said before, it has been released as a public beta for developers. After a considerable amount of developers have adapted their apps with the new developer software, it will open up for the general public. Meaning that if you have one of those Leap Motions, then soon your Leap will become much more useful, accurate and overall better.

The Leap Motion, on paper, is one really awesome concept. The basic idea is that instead of traditional controls such as Keyboard, Mouse, etc, you can use your fingers to control the object onscreen, sorta like actually going through the screen and manipulating the object.The Leap Motion, is a small device that plugs into the USB Port of a computer and tracks your hands.
