Coming in the spring of 2013 the new Leap motion sensor for a computer offers up some interesting possibilities for computer interaction. If it works and is correctly applied it has the potential to reduce some repetitive motion injuries associate with using the mouse. I've included a demonstration video below. The suggested retail price under $70 puts it in a competitive position. It is supposed to work with the latest Windows and Apple operating systems. More information at the Leap motion sensor website.
