Most of you know Leap Motion Labs already for sure. For all new LEAPers: LM LABS is a crowd of very productive guys.
It’s always a great pleasure to see their works – and gets an Awww WOOOW every time you see what they have done. So take a deep breath and checkout the LEAP Motion LABS. It’s like Doc Brown’s garage…or Frankenstein’s cellar…or…Dexter’s LAB. Checkout what Dev Isaac Cohen and the others did again lately.
Isaac Cohen:
Creating interfaces is really difficult. It’s especially difficult when you are making interfaces for something that has not been researched before.
The way you interact with the computer is different if you are using a trackpad, mouse, or touchscreen – and especially a Leap Motion Controller. Some actions are easier, and others are harder, so each interface should be made with these restrictions and freedoms in mind.

For the Circle of Aww demo (which you can see on my website, CSS3D required), I wanted to try creating an interface that used only the gestures given to us by the leap.gestures array. I really think that a 3D input device requires a 3D interface, while information is still easier to consume in 2 dimensions. In this way, I believe that navigation in 3 dimensions, and consumption in 2 dimensions, is probably the best approach to creating an interface. [….]
