I think there are lots of us just waiting for them to get going with some real world samples. I know I keep offering to pay good money to get some product.... (just hear crickets). meanwhile other products keep making progress.... maybe they are just waiting for others to ...... (wait for it...) Leap them. (boo hiss....) Next up... Leap asks for poems on why you need one of the early developers kits.... maybe a song written about them.... write us a paragraph....then boil it down to one sentence that best describes your idea and how you plan to make us millions of dollars (I mean change the world)..... yada...yada ....LEAP us already!

All those motion capture cameras are very expensive. I think they will realize a Minority Report style interface for the masses. This device is more suited for research than manufacturing. The tweezers would be manipulated by a robotic system , for any meaningful production of goods. The building blocks are so small that it would take a long time to assemble anything of any great complexity. The Kinect and leap controllers seem like they will out compete Oblongs tech.

I keep calling them "nanocells," but they might need to be the size of the cells in a leaf, which is on the scale of 2 to 10 microns.
