During the panel, CNET's Brian Tong gave live demos of various body interface tech. In this picture, he checks out a brain-sensing headband from Muse with Interaxon founder Ariel Garten.
Michael Buckwald, CEO of Leap Motion, says he's looking forward to the day when he doesn't have to go to the doctor's office anymore -- instead the smartphone can detect if something's wrong based on how you're walking, and so on. Fitbit's James Park agrees, saying that if you collect this data and present it to your doctor, it's pretty informative about how you've been living your life. It would help the doctor better diagnose you.
Leap Motion CEO Michael Buckwald says the developer community is the most important thing to Leap. They create things that help people use Leap in new ways, he says.
