LEAP!

I missed the most exciting (at least to me) presentation at last week's SIDLIT.
I am providing the link that will explain it in more detail.
Essentially this company Leap Motion, has designed a device for Macs that
  • plugs into your USB port
  • is roughly the size of a jump drive
  • works with a number of programs
  • interprets your motions into actions
  • can be preordered for $70
Essentially the device will replace your mouse and keyboard, acting in much the same way that the XBox Kinnect device does for gaming systems.

Special needs, artists, engineers, repetitive motion issues,- this is only the beginning, I think
