If it is cheap enough it could make Windows 8 useable!
There are already ways to do that, namely by disabling Metro and bringing back the Start buttonOriginally Posted by wombat
Don't want to sound like a hater but it didn't look that responsive in that video vs the Leap Motion...
You can, and it's never gone!There are already ways to do that, namely by disabling Metro and bringing back the Start button
Basic concepts of cause and effect:
"everything that follows is a result of what you see here"
agreed - The lag was easily noticeable even when just swiping up and down for the web browsing part!
Nothing will EVER make Windows 8 useable!
I find Windows 8 very usable, admittedly there's the Start screen but I rarely use that now, if ever.

You shouldnt have to heavily modify an operating system to make it 'useable'.
You dont need to modify it at all, a lot of people have added back to the start button, which takes what, 2 mins to install.
Jon
That sounds to me like a modification. And what you suggest doesn't cure all the metro linking issues.
Metro linking issues? Do explain.
And sounds like your splitting hairs, its hardly the major modifications your talking about is it.
Jon
Not really. At the end of the day it was an new operating system which will be predominantly used by Personal computers that was wholly targeted towards touchscreen mobile users. If you want to continue defending the 'good name' of Microsoft, thats up to you, but as far as i'm concerned if you have to spend time and effort modifying a new operating to work like its predecessor, then it has failed in its delivery. As for your so called '2 minute fix'. It may well be that to you, but you didnt have to spend the time programming the functionality. If you'd spent THAT time reintroducing the start button, it would have taken quite a bit more time than 2 minutes. As for the metro link issues. I merely refer to the exiting of applications resulting in the OS defaulting to the metro interface you're wanting to hide.
Yeah.....ok
Jon
Hard to believe, especially based on Leap Motions repeated claim of accuracy to 1/1000 of a millimeter (they keep repeating that but it's way too small IMO)The company claims the new sensor is both smaller and more accurate than the better known Leap Motion controller,
Nice to see other companies competing with this type of thing even this early on.
