Hand gestures for music: GECO 2.0 for updated Leap Motion is already here

It’s all in the hands. GECO delivers near zero-latency gestural control for music. And this didn’t take long: hot on the heels of the revival of Leap Motion hardware, version 2.0 is now available for both macOS and Windows.

Leap Motion is back, so you can add 3D gestures for $139 – with or without a VR headset

An inevitable effect of the renewed mixed reality and Apple hype is sure to be refueling interest in other devices. And that $3499 price also reframes the value of, well, nearly everything. Right on cue, what’s back? The hand tracking Leap Motion, now from the redubbed Ultraleap, at $139 – a device musicians and media artists had already exploited to great effect.
