One thing you should have noted is that the thing is quite sensitive to the room lighting, especially anything that might emit light in the infra-red range. This means that in a live situation you could end up fighting the venue's lighting while trying to use this.
Fantastic Nick! I think I'm too old and set in my ways for this - it also brings back NIGHTMARES of D-Beams! It looks like it would be perfect as part of an installation or dance performance. Id feel like a berk wiggling around personally! Still, the software and hardware look like they perform wonderfully!
Just thinking for sound design, gestures would be great instead of fiddling with filter automation for opening doors into loud audio (similar to the end of this videos filter)
It looks like a performance tool that is a bit of a gimmick, I am doubtful that it has much potential outside the visual interest during a show. Eventually the technology will develop to a point where we use 'air' gestures as a user interface, but it seems unlikely to be a widely popular instrument control.
Rick Birmingham By comparison, I'd say the viola is a popular instrument, the Chapman Stick would be a more obscure instrument, but still used by some performers, me for one, so I see a place for this control system, just not widely adopted.
I bought one a year ago and wasn't able to make it work and chugged it in a closet. I took it out a couple of hours ago again a d was able to install and map it with no problem. I guess I learned a few things along the way this past year.

I'm not really sure how practical this is but it's definitely cool

Loved the performance at the end :)
is this for macs only? i 'll never be able to accept the word "app" instead of "program"
No, it's for Windows 7/8 and MacOSX 10.7+
you can use max for live to turn CC to notes
Is tactile feedback so underrated? I can see it working very well for presentations and shows but not as an instrument.
I'm a musician. Can it be used to play a keyboard or wood instrument virtually?
*wind
seems to work good with physical modeled instruments
good as usual...thank you sir
Good addition for midi controlling.
If you need Geco to turn the hand motion into MIDI, then what does Leap motion actually do?
It sees your gestures so they can be translated into midi.
This app is great for cc messages
This plus MAX/Msp and we're done. :)
Why wouldn´t this be interesting for automation?
Pretty cool stuff. Did you also see the owow.io MIDIS ? They also can translate movement to a MIDI output
There's a great use of the controller with cubase chord pads here: m.th-cam.com/video/G5rGvwDi0Uk/w-d-xo.html

Wildly popular? No but neither is the viola.

My review - its poo and won't open. Saved you a headache from buying it, you are welcome.
Is that you asking for technical help? Did you contact the company that wrote the software?
