      Wow, it suddenly seems applicable. It will be interesting to see how touch screens and motion sensors will play together in the near-future.

                Anyone can use The Leap to interact with Windows 7/8 or Mac OS X by clicking, grabbing, scrolling and using familiar gestures like pinch to zoom in 3D space.

                How about Linux?

                Linux support is on the agenda.
                This looks really cool

                    you can do this with a standard webcam. the "click" feature would be a lot more difficult to accomplish but you can at the very least effortlessly control a mouse pointer using any webcam or really any object you want; i've seen it done with a ~400 line python script
