ASUS partners up with Leap Motion to offer 3D motion control : Asus has partnered with the Leap Motion, who has been working hard to get its 3D gesture control technology, since it was first revealed back in May of 2012. Both companies has announced plans to include motion control capabilities in future notebook and all-in-one desktop computers.
Leap Motion’s been Today marks a big step towards getting it into the hands of consumers, as the company has announced its first OEM partner, ASUS.
So the future Asus computers won’t just let you use a keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen to interact with software. You’ll also be able to wave your hands in the air or do other silly motions like you just don’t care.
The Leap Motion system can detect movements as slight as 1/100th of a millimeter and can track all 10 fingers of your hand at 290 frames per second.
Long story short, the system could be even more accurate than a keyboard and mouse or a video game controller — assuming you’ve got apps that can take advantage of the motion controls.
The computers will come with the the Leap Motion app store, which will make it easier to find software that takes advantage of the motion control system.
Leap Motion is also making a standalone unit that you’ll be able to pair with other computers. It’s available for pre-order for $69. But Asus is the first major PC maker to announce it will offer computers with the system baked in.
