Leap Motion: What do developers want?

Developers: Hand tracking on mobile and an updated Android SDK.

Leap Motion: Ok, here's the blueprints to a PC tethered AR headset.

The two aren't mutually incompatible. Stay tuned.

"Leap Motion sensor" is an USB 3.0 camera with clever driver, you can have it on mobile when we start seeing USB 3.0 enabled smartphones.

That's not a blocker. It's a USB 2 and 3 hybrid device, but we never actually rolled out USB 3 in the firmware (would have raised the minimum spec too high for too many people with almost no benefits), so it runs on USB 2.0.
