HP to bundle Leap Motion on select products, incorporate the tech in future devices

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/dsc02069-1337907206.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Leap Motion is shaping up to be 2013's hottest peripheral. Less than a year after the gesture-control technology was first announced, the company's enlisted tens of thousands of developers in its motion-controlled ranks, partnered with ASUS and taken SXSW Interactive by storm. This morning, the company added another big win to the ever-growing list: a partnership with HP, which will eventually see the technology embedded in some new offerings from the PC veteran. According to a press release issued by the startup, "The relationship will start with the Leap Motion Controller bundled with select HP products and evolve to unique HP devices embedded with Leap Motion's technology." Those unnamed devices will also be loaded with Leap's Airspace, for easy access to custom apps.</div></div>

AirBeats / AirHarp creator demos his forthcoming Leap Motion music apps

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Image" data-src-height="348" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/kobo2013-04-1221-34-08600-1365816925.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">When it comes to developing music apps, Leap Motion's naturalistic interface seems like a no-brainer. Sure it doesn't offer the sort of tactile feedback you get from an actual instrument, but it certainly beats the heck out of, say, a keyboard and mouse. Adam Somers is among the early developers looking to bring a little bit of music magic to the tiny peripheral, and he gave us a sneak peak of what he's working on at a Smule event in San Francisco earlier this week.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The simpler of the two apps is AirHarp. Still in early developer preview mode, the program is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a virtual harp. Hold your hand out and strings light up -- tap down and you can pluck them. Reach in a bit and you can strum with one or several fingers. More impressive is AirBeats, a virtual machine with two pads and a slew of sounds that lets you record tracks. Somers is hoping to have at least one of the apps out in time for Leap Motion's upcoming launch. You can check out demos after the break.</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-575fa70b" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/575fa70b/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=44673221&disablebranding=0&view_secret=44673221" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>

Syntellia teases Leap Motion Fleksy demo, promises to let us type on air

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span> </span><img alt="Syntellia teases Leap Motion Fleksy demo, promises to let us type on air " data-src-height="314" data-src-width="531" height="378" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/fleskyleap33.jpg" width="640" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span>Laser projected virtual keyboards? <em>So 2004</em>. These days, tech firms are dreaming up completely invisible typewriters, or at least Syntellia is. By marrying a Leap Motion sensor with its own Fleksy predictive keyboard, the company has created a system that seems to let you type on thin air -- with the aid of Fleksy's predictive text correction, of course. A brief teaser video of the project shows a pioneering air-typist hammering out "kalr tgw ltsp," which Fleksy deciphers as "make the leap." Syntellia's SXSW Interactive Accelerator preview of the project won't officially debut until tomorrow, but the impatient can check it out <em>right now</em> after the break. </span></div></div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-gMWa_GtGho?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

IntuiLab shows a tool to build Leap Motion apps, no coding chops required (video)

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="IntuiLab shows a tool to build Leap Motion apps, no coding chops required video" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/intuilab-leap-motion-1362775061.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">It's entirely possible to build motion aware apps if you've got the know-how to wield a tool like the Kinect SDK. But what about the rest of us? IntuiLab may have the solution through an upcoming version of IntuiFace Presentation. The Windows software will let would-be developers create gesture-driven apps for the rapidly approaching Leap Motion controller using a simple trigger system. The results are self-evident in the video after the break: a basic app can react to finger pointing and swipes with comparatively little effort. While we're not expecting any music games or other truly sophisticated releases, the updated IntuiFace could give us at least one avenue for our creativity when it launches in sync with the controller itself.</div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TuBcLbklH5I?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
