The New York Times Leap Motion app: for all the news that’s fit for gestures (video)

The New York Times Leap Motion app for all the news that's fit for gestures video

Few of us reading the morning news enjoy putting our greasy hands on a tablet or newspaper just to flip through articles. With the newly unveiled New York Times app for the Leap Motion Controller, we won’t have to. The release lets news hounds navigate stories (and ads) through a unique interface optimized for touch-free gestures. Both Mac and Windows versions of the NYT app will be available in the Airspace store on July 22nd, the same day Leap Motion ships to customers. More importantly, the app will be free — at least at launch, readers won’t run into the usual paywall. If the prospect of contact-free news has you intrigued, there’s a video demo available after the break.
