Motion control software and hardware company Leap Motion has readied a 3D motion control technology that promises new ways of interaction with your computer. According to Leap Motion, its new 3D motion solution allows people to control their computers with natural hand and finger movements.

The solution comprises the Airspace platform and the associated controller, which started shipping last week. Presently, the Airspace platform offers more than 75 applications built by developers in more than 20 countries.

According to Leap Motion, the wide range of free and paid apps across many categories allows users to create, explore, play, learn and do more through new immersive experiences. The Airspace store will continue to grow as the large Leap Motion developer community brings more applications to keep expanding the many uses of 3D motion control, said the maker.

In a statement, Michael Buckwald, Leap Motion co-founder and CEO, said, "Leap Motion enhances the computing experience to allow people to do things in new and better ways, and we're committed to breaking down the barriers between people and technology to make the future more easily accessible."

Leap Motion said that its controller works with computers running Mac OS X 10.7or 10.8, or Windows 7 or 8. It requires a minimum Intel (News - Alert) Core i3or AMD Phenom II processor, 2 GB RAM and a USB 2.0 port.

The Leap Motion Controller retails for 79.99, and will be available in Best Buy stores across the United States starting next week. It is also available in the UK from Amazon.co.uk. To further expand Leap Motion's reach, the manufacturer has partnered with Asus and HP to bundle and embed Leap Motion's 3D technology into their select computers.
