I have appreciated it a lot, so I thought it could have been a cool idea to make a post for you to describe how it is and compare it with the previous Leap Motion controller. Some weeks ago, I have reviewed the new Leap Motion Gemini (v5) runtime , and I have appreciated its robustness. Are you in?
