VentureBeat: Video: Softkinetic’s gesture-based video games

  • Patti Jordan · 9 months ago
    For GestureTek it is great to see the growing interest and recognition of video gesture control as the next natural step in user interface for gaming and display interactivity. GestureTek has been inventing, patenting, and pioneering gesture control technology for over 20 years and has had 3D depth sensing and stereo control software and patents in place for over 8 years. You may be interested to know that GestureTek has already commercially deployed a package that makes available all the 3D tracking and control features mentioned, plus far more. Our software has always worked with any available 3D depth camera. Although we have developed some interesting unique gesture control commands, our 3D depth sensing technology has always offered the ability for users to control the system using virtually any hand gesture, such as grabbing, swiping, waving or pointing. Besides the work we are doing with major telecom companies for their set top boxes and electronics manufacturers for their next generation of TV’s and other consumer devices, GestureTek has deployed many public interactive displays utlizing our 3D depth sensing system.
