Thanks for the heads up on Orion. I bought a Leap Motion at it's initial release, and like some others here was disappointed in it's ability to accurately track my fingers/hands. I just might pull it off the shelf and give it another shot now.

Why was it hugely disappointing? I've had one since the start and it was always very accurate, precise and reliable. It had some issues with not being able to persist in tracking hidden fingers, but it worked really really well on extended ones.

For me it was hugely disappointing because they passed the API off to individual applications rather than providing some OS level drivers for a common API so you could drop it in place of other interaction devices. That, and it used an immense amount of CPU resources on my computers.

Your setup must be near perfect then. There was an unacceptable level of noise and disappearing fingers once you rotated past 30 degrees of level in the original versions.

Orion is almost magically better.
