Earlier this week at the GMIC Beijing, TechNode managed to catch up with CEO of Leap Motion, Michael Buckwald, for a chat about the Leap Motion Controller and the company’s future plans. The Leap Motion Controller, launched in July 2013, allows you to interact with your PC via motion detection of your hands and fingers – somewhat similar to the Kinect, but for your computer. According to Buckwald, 50 percent of the sales for the Leap Motion Controller is outside of the US, with China being one of the top 5 countries when it comes to sales of the controller. While Chinese customers are able to purchase the device off its website, the Leap Motion Controller is currently not yet in retail in China, although Buckwald has stated that Leap Motion is looking for Chinese distributors, such as JD.com, to sell the device in China. Leap Motion has also been working hard on pushing free software updates to complement and improve on the controller, allowing users to do more with it.
