From the eerie tones of classic B-movies to atmospheric warbling on modern music tracks, the Theremin is instantly recognizable. An open-source version called the Theremotion uses a Leap controller to add a new layer of expressive control.

Virtual reality is in an odd place right now. Countless companies are competing to one-up each other, adding features and upgrades to supposedly make theirs stand out … but most of them are unreleased products. Leap Motion and Razer's OSVR took the latest step in that game today.

Hot on the heels of the Leap Motion Controller motion-sensor, which began shipping last week, Leap Motion has released the accompanying software. The software allows people to control their computers with natural movements, detecting both hand and finger movements.

DexType from Zack Dennis is a Google Chrome browser plugin that joins forces with a Leap Motion system for gesture-based typing.

Leap Motion is building up to its July release with a new video showing its interaction with Windows.

Google Earth on desktops was just updated with support for Leap Motion gesture control.

The Leap Motion sensor is a USB motion tracker that allows you to control your PC through simple finger and hand gestures.
