Um this looks awesome

Motion control really doesn’t get better than this. Leap Motion have come up with Leap 3D, a super accurate motion control system. It can track motion at around 0.01mm of accuracy which is 100 times better than Microsoft XBOX Kinect.

From the video and the demo they show, this could really transform the way we use our computers. Instead of using a mouse we could use gestures like pinch to zoom on a picture or scrolling up and down on a web page.

It is a very small device compared to the Kinect and hooks up to your computer via USB. It has special sensors and cameras which track the movement made by you to a high degree of accuracy.

Matisse x Pompidou

After the success of their Munch exhibition, the Pompidou Centre brings together sixty-odd works to show how Henri Matisse would work on the same motif or subject in a multitude of different ways. During his/her life, the style of an artist can obviously change, slowly or radically or both, whilst still using the same subject as source. Matisse was especially fond of revisiting his own work from a different direction, and this exhibition displays pairs of paintings or series (hence the the title) for us to better compare what has changed and how that affects our appreciation of the piece in question.
