Unlike the Kinect, the Leap Motion senses subtle movements, and at a much more intimate distance and scale. Bright lights can sometimes throw off its sensors and cause things to get a little jumpy, much like I’ve experienced on the Kinect. It can track your hands in any lighting or even in the dark. However, for all its claims of 1/100th of a millimeter accuracy, I found using it to be sometimes pretty frustrating. I really wanted plug in the Leap Motion Controller and never touch my touch pad again.
