Leap Motion IS available to the public. It was created by Batelle based in Columbus, Ohio where I am from. My friends were on the development team.
It was a massive project failure originally designed for security purposes. They found the technology could be easily "broken" into. It utilizes biometrics that can be easily fooled.
What you are seeing is their way of re purposing the failed project to gain some of their sunk costs.
I have played with this before, it sucks.
As far as the military comment mentioned above; Batelle holds the DARPA contract.
