Leap Motion, which makes a 3D controller that can track movements smaller than the tip of a pin, on Wednesday announced that it has entered a limited exclusive agreement with Best Buy. The deal will see Best Buy build endcaps in the 1,056 stores it has in the United States to display Leap’s controllers, as well as devices that run them and associated apps. “We love Best Buy,” said Andy Miller, Leap’s president and COO. “It’s the world’s largest consumer-electronics retailer.” However, there are some doubts about the wisdom of the tie-in.
