First the Kinect powering PrimeSense, and now ASUS has joined hands with Leap Motion, company responsible for sensor that enables system control with finger and hand gestures. 3D control will be bundled up with the high end ASUS notebooks and All-in-one(AIO) PC's by the end of 2013.
The Leap motion Controller tracks all 10 fingers of the user, at a lightening fast rate of 290 frames per second, tracking movements upto 1/100th of a millimeter (that is 10 micrometers!!!). The company claims it to be 200 times more accurate than other competitors , such as Microsoft Kinect for windows.
Although , you can pre order the accessory from the company's website for $69, but seeing its immense potential, its certain that it'll be integrated into future systems, and not come as a separate peripheral.
Albert Wu, Desktop Division Senior Director at ASUStek, said"Leap motion has developed a exciting technology that will truly enhance the experience our customers have with their ASUS devices, opening a world of opportunity for personal use and business, from entertainment to architecture to education."
