http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/duo-straight-shot-lead.png (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/26/insert-coin-duo-kit/)Between the Kinect (http://www.engadget.com/tag/kinect/) and Leap Motion (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/11/leap-motion-michael-buckwald-interview/), gesture control's on just about everyone's minds these days. There's still a ways to go, certainly, before such devices become a mainstream method for interfacing with our PCs, but they've already become a ripe source of inspiration for the DIY community. Duo's hoping to further bridge the gap between the two, with a "the world's first 3d motion sensor that anyone can build." The desktop sensor features two PS3 Eye cameras that can track hands and objects for a more natural interface with one's computer. Duo's unsurprisingly looking to crowdfund its efforts. A pledge of $10 or more will get you early access to the company's SDK. For $40 you'll get the case and instruction. Add $30 to that number, and you've got yourself the kit, which includes everything but the camera ($110 will get you all that). Check out the company's plea after the break, and if you're so inclined you can pledge at the source link below.
