Today I saw a video on the channel of the NUI Group which featured a DIY device for close range finger tracking, not unlike the Leap Motion device. It is called DUO and here’s what it can do:


The leap motion device should ship soon (April 2013) whereas the DUO is just about to start a Kickstarter project to collect funding. The difference between the two projects is foremost the open source and DIY philosophy of the DUO against a strictly commercial license philosophy of the Leap Motion. Technically, the two technologies seems to differ (see a forum thread of the DUO makers).
