Desktop computing is taking on a whole new dimension. This week, HP launched the latest generation of embedded Leap Motion™ technology with 11 HP desktop and all-in-one platforms. Now for sale on hp.com, these systems are available with keyboards featuring built-in Leap Motion sensor technology. Following the release of the HP ENVY17 Leap Motion SE notebook, it’s the latest step in our ongoing partnership with HP to bring Leap Motion into more spaces than ever.

As developers and gamers, we’ve become used to designing around, and playing with, older controllers and ways of interacting with computers. Unfortunately, this also means that we’ve been limited by them. For example, popular apps like Surgeon Simulator 2013 and Octodad: Dadliest Catch offer players the ability to precisely control character movements. This ability is something that gamers want, but current keyboard and mouse setups make these kinds of controls clunky. These games and their controls usually end up being comical in nature – like children’s marionettes.
