ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First and foremost I thank Almighty for all the blessings on the successful completion of this seminar.
A seminar in its entire means it can only be accomplished with the assistance of many people. I show my sincere gratitude to all those who contributed in this seminar work, they can never be forgotten.
I owe a great deal of gratitude towards Electrical and Electronics Head of Department Mrs.Lizz Joseph for her whole hearted support for this seminar. I express my sincere thanks to the seminar coordinator and the seminar guides Fr. Josekutty Chacko, Mrs. Tinu Scaria, and Fr. Jacob Kurian for their encouragement and support throughout my preparations.
I express my sincere thanks to all my friends and well wishers along with my family for their corporation and moral support that has been given during the seminar work.
INTRODUCTION
Leap motion : It is a breakthrough in computer interaction, using a patented mathematical approach to 3D,touch free motion sensing & motion control software thats alike anything that currently exist on the market. Through this new technology we can say good bye to Mouse & Keyboard. Leap represents an entirely new way to interact with our computers Its more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touch screen. We can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements . Leap Motion has, well, leapfrogged the state of the art in this young field, giving users the ability to control what's on their computers with hundredth of millimeter accuracy and introducing touch-free gestures like pinch-to- zoom.
delineating subtle, specific movements. That means people can interact with their computers in a much more natural way, instead of having to stand far back and be overly gestural and demonstrative in order to have tracking sensors pick up their movements. In terms of being a practical tool people can use for daily productivity tasks, instead of, say, emulating jumping up and down on a river raft, that provides a very marked advantage.
Physically, the Leap is a small silver rectangle with a sensor pointing upwards hidden behind a panel of black plastic. From a design stand point, the Leap looks like something Apple might have come up with. Operationally, both windows and OSX will be supported from the outset with the FAQ hinting at eventual Linux support, though as with many products this might take a while.
The Leap is designed to sit right in front of your monitor or laptop and sense movements with startling accuracy. Alone with a flick of your pinky or wave of the hand the device is designed to detect small item like pencil, chopstick and allowed for gestures like pinch- to-zoom to be used in 3D,touch-free sensor space.
The Leap retails for $69.99 and is available now. The device began shipping worldwide. Interact with, and thanks to the Leap, that day is coming sooner than anyone expected, to revolutionize the way humans interact to the computers.

Basic computing tasks like navigating an operating system or browsing through Web pages
Precise virtual drawing in 2-D and 3-D Signing a digital document by writing in air Navigating large-scale 3-D data visualization systems Creating and manipulating 3-D models like houses and cars Playing computer games, including fast-twitch first-person shooters.

The tiny oblong device may look like any old USB stick but in actual fact it contains the power to change how we interact with computers for ever. The leap motion offers a lot of potential to many professions particularly the creative kind. Imagine being able to mould and create design in your hands and it to appear on the computer screen. The leap motion will not hold potential for creative types but will be extremely helpful for professional who work with 3D images such as scientist examining molecular or energy experts studying oil exploration maps. An added advantage is that it is portable so we can use it anywhere at any situation.

Two or three hundred thousand lines of code later, weve figured out how to use the Leap to create an interaction space around your computer, in 3D. Its able to distinguish thumbs from fingers, and even handheld items like pencils. This allows users to interact like never before, using only natural movements.
And we went a step further. You will be able to create custom gestures that fit how you want to use your computer. You can even network more than one Leap device, to create even larger interaction areas.

Conclusion
The leap represents a significant step forward for lough free, motion sensing technology and the sensible price point means we wont need to a finished artist CEO or stinkish rich to get us hands on one.
The potential and many applications here are truly exciting but if the device really is going to be the revolution. In UI control that leap motion look like, then it will require some clever integration into the software we use on a daily basis.
