The editors liked
Both the controller's hardware eyes and software brain are good at their jobs. It's sort of difficult to separate one from the other
But when you look at the raw input as it streams in
You can see that the data is high-fidelity and virtually lagless. We

The editors didn't like
As simple as the premise and the setup is
Using Leap has a bit of a learning curve. At first
I found using the controller to be extremely frustrating
Until I learned to start visualizing that input cube I keep yammering on about. Leap is—at its best
A
Software tends to run towards novelty as opposed to truly useful
No builtin systemlevel interface management
Though free thirdparty tools are available
Occasional inaccurate or altogether nonexistent tracking
Won't make you give up any other control method
Wide field of control easily triggered erroneously
It only works with compatible apps
Not as intuitive or reliable as using a touch pad
Touch screen
Or mouse for everyday tasks
Your arms will get tired when using it
Fewer than 100 apps at time of review
Of mixed quality
Hard to position on a desk
Individual-finger tracking is spotty
At times
Oversensitive
Limited app selection
Difficult to focus pointer on small buttons
Lacks precision
Thirdparty apps required
App store needs work
Leap Motion must seperate itself from other similar items offered by demonstrating where the Leap Motion Controller excells
Not a mouse replacement
The huge potential must be translated into tangible performance
Depending on the app
Making things work can be frustrating. Better suited for simple gesture games. Poor performance on productivity scenarios.
Limited selection of useful apps
Not yet a valid alternative to a mouse or touchscreen

Innovative concept, Variety of apps, Device is reasonably priced, so are the apps, There's huge potential here
Controls can be finicky, Inconsistent performance, Apps are hitormiss, It's a work in progress
There is a lot of potential in the Leap Motion controller, and some apps show that more than others. As exciting as the technology is, though, that's what you're ultimately paying for: the apps. The device makes the experience possible, but the apps make ...

Easy to install, plug and play for the controller. Download of Airspace is straightforward, Controller is amazingly accurate, there is an orientation program which shows what it can see and gives a rough idea of how it works, There is a wide range of apps
If you only have a Windows or a Mac you can't access certain apps, Downloading certain apps can take a while and may also require extra download of software (experienced with Windows only), Apps respond differently with the controller, some are more accur
