I am an extremely lucky high school student from the Southern California area working on finding new methods of interaction for the leap motion. I'm attempting to find usage scenarios that CAN only work with the extra "interaction bandwidth" that the leap provides.

I'm also looking at ways the leap can be combined with the Oculus Rift to solve the necessity for positional tracking. For this reason, you might also find me lobbying for the addition of 3D blob tracking to the SDK.
