Leap Motion reveals what it says is "the world's most accurate 3D motion device"-- the Leap, a small PC peripheral the company claims is 200 times more accurate than existing technologies.

Connecting to PCs via USB, the Leap simultaneously tracks 10 fingers (or objects like a pen) within a 0.1 cubic-metre virtual workspace through the combination of industry-standard cameras and sensors and Leap Motion software.

The company says tracking is accurate to within 0.01mm-- enough for gestures such as pinch-to-zoom or more complex tasks like manipulating on-screen 3D objects.

Wearable displays have often been referred to as "Head Mounted Displays" because of their bulky size and clunky appearance. Now Vuzix launches SMART Glasses Technology after years of internal development and a recent licensing deal with Nokia.

SMART Glasses Technology starts with a compact display engine capable of high contrast and brightness for outdoor use. The output is then relayed into a 1.4 mm thick polymer waveguide lens with input and output hologram structures on the surface which squeezes the light down the waveguide and then 2-dimensionally expands the image back into the user’s eye.

Thermaltake reveals the Level 10 M Mouse at CeBIT 2012-- a gaming-centric mouse with a design from BMW subsidiary Designworks USA, creators of the 2009 Thermaltake Level 10 PC chassis.

It features a skeletal design and an alumium base, with an LED-illuminated perforated midsection (supposedly to allow for airflow). The design is also customisable-- the rear is height-adjustable by 5mm and tiltable to either side by 5 degrees.

Included software allows customers to program buttons (all 11 of those), Continue reading...

Roccat Studios wants to turn mouse-using into a competition with the Savu-- an optical mid-size gaming mouse tracking button clicks and mouse drags with an online achievements system.

It has a sensor with either 400, 800, 1600 or 4000dpi power, and Roccat's "Easy-Shift" system allows user to assign multiple functions to the mouse buttons and scroll wheel. The rear lighting bar is also customisable, using 16.8M different colours.

An ergonomic right-hand thumb rest keeps hands comfortable, as does Continue reading...
