eve is too complex for leap motion.
I cant imagine for what it could be useful in eve.

Hi there,

The old Keyboard and mouse scene is dated, user interaction is changing and well, I was wondering if CCP were looking into this area. I did search the forums by the way but some forums are pants

so...

maybe for thrusters up and down, turn modules on and off, browse maps, scroll, look around space all that good stuff, lock targets.

The "dated keyboard and mouse" is a standard, all accessible, even to low budget players, way to interface. It's a level playing field that I don't think should be changed.

EDIT: For those not familiar with Leap Motion technology do what I did and go here

Sure, i agree with a level playing field. I don't think leap would change that, but computer interfacing is changing and UI development should aiming in that direction. If Eve is moving to mobile platform the door is open wide for leap integration. Given eve space is 3d, leap tech will work nicely if worked upon with eve in mind.

not to mention leap is being backed by some major companies like ASUS.
