Leap Motion, watch out.
An Oslo, Norway-based startup, Elliptic Labs, has launched a software development kit and hardware proof-of-concept of a new way of controlling your smartphone or tablet — with simple touchless gestures.
"Leap Motion is already small enough to fit in essentially almost every desktop or laptop, and could even fit in most tablets and smartphones," Leap Motion CEO Michael Buckwald said. "We're now making it even smaller."
It's about the size of a pack of gum, and attaches to your computer via USB. Leap Motion is also working with HP to build the technology right into your desktop or laptop -- and eventually into smartphones, tablets, smart watches, and any other type of device.
