Regarding the leap...while it has not had as much adoption as the team had hoped, the effort being put into it is still significant. The latest SDK update addresses a number of shortcomings that the initial implementation had, making the hardware that much more viable.

That all said, the biggest issue with all of these new interactions is the lack of a solid, low fail interaction model that can seamlessly replace our current interfaces.

Looking at the leap, while it does a number of things right it has to always get it right, or as close to always as possible to be as good as a mouse click or a keyboard key press.

This looks interesting, but watching a promotional video doesn't show me how often a person has to flick their hand or swipe the touch strip to get the desired result. I have a leap and while I've gotten fairly proficient with it, I still find it's failure rate to be to high to make it a real replacement for my mouse and keyboard.
