Have you ever wanted to control a computer like Tony Stark from Iron Man without the use of a mouse?
Shipping out on May 13 the Leap motion controller allows you to do just that! Using your hands, fingers, or pencils you can control your computer just as a mouse would from simple clicking to drawing. You can play fruit ninja or do 3D designs with the Leap motion controller sensor, it reads a variety of precise motion. I think this technology is really cool especially after seeing all those scifi and that it could be a new item at Student Media Design Center.

I pre-ordered one for personal use about a year ago. When it arrives, I will make sure everyone that is interested can try it out. I think it is too early to tell if the Center should purchase one, but I have high hopes. Like the new MIDI controller, new input devices can offer new creative possibilities for multimedia applications.
