Leap Motion seeks C++ Engineers (NextGen 3D Gesture Control)

Leap Motion recently announced the world’s most accurate 3D gesture control. With .01 millimeter sensitivity and ten-finger tracking, the Leap is years ahead of its time, and will fundamentally change how humans interact with computers. Watch our one-minute demo video and decide for yourself: http://www.LeapMotion.com.

Since our launch, our video has had over 6 million views, we’ve been featured in well over 600 news publications, and we’ve had overwhelming interest from consumers pre-ordering our device and developers applying for our SDK.
