[Mike Erwin]

Ooh, interesting! I was tempted to sign up for their developer program,
then looked at my long list of todo items for Wacom and 3Dx hardware...

Is anyone already working on this? I second your guess about it needing
additional support. FWIW, I just got a touch-screen laptop with Windows 8
and latest Ubuntu to continue exploring multitouch gestures. Leap's finger
tracking could be fed into a common gesture recognizer -- if we had one --
similar to a touch surface. It's probably capable of even cooler stuff
though.
