Its getting more and more like a scene out of "Minority Report"!

I wonder what would happen when you stick two fingers up at the screen after a bad trade! :D

Have you had a play with it yet Peter? Any chance of a video?

Cheers for the video - looks a cool gadget. Not sure I would use it for trading myself but can see other uses for it.

Would save getting your keyboard and mouse dirty if you want to use your pc while eating lunch :)

looks a little clunky for trading. Definitely think this is awesome for media centre use.

Y, not really a small screen trading device. Will try it on the wall and see if that works any better.

I'd stick it on the end of my coffee table and use it for films on the tv and stuff. sort of like a simplified kinect for my mac mini plugged into my tv

How are you getting on with your Leap device peter?

This weeks BBC Click had a pretty cool use for it along with some other impressive tech that gives the user control. The MIT stuff was pretty awesome I thought. Definitely worth a watch.

Still would be interested in how you are getting on with the leap device peter if you have time.

But something far cooler was shown on this weeks BBC Click - conductive paint. I highly recommend a watch.

The potential uses for it are only limited by imagination.
