In 2012, Leap Motion released videos showing the intricacy of their technology by following all 10 fingers Measuring in at (79 x 30 x 11mm) this controller is a small device that packs some serious skills.  They say great things come in small packages and we definitely agree when it comes to the Leap Motion Controller.
