I was lucky enough to give a presentation at an Intel "Perceptual Computing" meetup (their version of the LeapMotion), and I met a dev advocate from LeapMotion.

I think it's very interesting; the API is solid, and it's really easy to use with Javascript because you can interface with it directly through a Websocket server. That, plus three.js, means you can do some interesting things with examining 3D models. It isn't a far stretch to see medical and industrial applications, as well as interesting games (Infinity Blade, laptop edition?)

There are a few companies working on this at once[1]; I think it's definitely something to keep an eye on. It seems like a natural evolution of webcams.
