The parts used to build this total $330 vs. the $70 for the LEAP and it seems that this is less accurate and responsive. I'd get behind this if it was purely an open source effort to bring this to people who can't get their hands on a LEAP. It's just so much more expensive, it's only free to use during the "public beta" period.

I'm honestly a bit confused at how they expect to compete with the LEAP. I can't see anything they bring to the table that the LEAP doesn't already do better.

Too funny. The link doesn't work until you remove the suite. This one does. http://goo.gl/maps/VOCLl

Like that there's nothing on my desk --you should see the area under my monitor, it's like a junky drawer-- but kinects mounted on my monitors wouldn't be my first choice either, but if you were to add some object recognition and 3D scanning features I might change my mind.

Pick up the brush -> starts photoshop. Pick up my camera -> start photo import tools. Pick up my Project A folder (marked with a sticker, think evernote) -> opens all relevant files for project A, etc etc.

Is anyone developing a wristband/glove gyro-thingamajig yet? Seems so much simpler to me. Bluetooth, a gyro, and you're halfway. No issues with "range" etc.

Or we can use our phones. It's next to my keyboard anyhow.

Thanks for the feedback and directions.

I've just replied to the parent post with some discussion about how we differ in terms of features and technical approach.

We're also certainly cognizant of the price of our SDK. We hope that not too far down the road, we'll be able to spec out some cheaper hardware for our users.

$330 includes two Kinects. Two Leaps would cost $140.
