so who is behind this? I thought MS had bought up all the patents around this tech.

seems like it is an new company with some investors:

yeah, i was looking at that but I still having seen anything directly explaining how it works from a techinical perspective.  makes me curious how they are actually getting this data in a way that MS won't come down and put them out of business.

no clue but they say they have a patent for that:

What is Leap Motion technology?

Leap Motion technology is a breakthrough in computer interaction, using a patented mathematical approach to 3D, touch-free motion sensing and motion control software that’s unlike anything that currently exists on the market or in academia. Developed over the past 4 years, Leap Motion moves far beyond the current technologies designed for distant arm waving.
