Re: Leapmotion - A cheaper and better alternative to the Kinect?

I personally see it like the kinect- good for impressing people, not as good for real use.

The fundamental problem I see is that there is no difference between thoughts and actions. This could be a problem in that as a driver, one will think before they act... but with this system, one acts as they think.

The only way around that I see is that one could find a way to control it w/o actual thoughts... but still, to me, it seems too susceptible to unconscious unintentional thoughts.
