BGR took an in-depth look at Leap Motion’s revolutionary motion-control PC accessory last year, and we loved the accuracy and shocking reliability of Leap’s technology. The controller was only demoed on a Mac computer in our preview, however. In a recent post on the company’s blog, Leap showed off Windows 7 and Windows 8 integration for the controller, which it plans to finally launch on July 22nd. An accompanying video shows how well Leap’s controller works with Windows for swiping, scrolling, zooming in and out, flipping through photos, drawing and more. It’s not quite Minority Report, but we’re getting there. Leap Motion’s full video follows below.

Post updated to clarify that Windows compatibility is not a new feature for the Leap controller.
