Updated Version Cuts Down on Development Time of Cutting Edge Gesture Applications
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM – March 29, 2013 – SoftKinetic, the world’s leading provider of 3D vision and gesture recognition solutions, today announced the latest version of the company’s gesture recognition middleware platform – iisu® 3.6.
SoftKinetic’s iisu middleware is an open platform, working with any 3D depth sensing camera. This latest version removes any calibration steps for the cameras, the scene and the users before starting to interact, cutting down on installation and setup time. iisu 3.6 also brings improved scene and occlusion management to games and apps.
“Our middleware platform continues to lead the industry in terms of both feature set, development time and robustness,” said Michel Tombroff, CEO of SoftKinetic. “With the latest updates to iisu, we’ve focused on improving and simplifying the full-body driven experience to the highest level.”
With iisu version 3.6, developers can create gesture controlled experiences for both long range as well as close range interactions. This platform allows for the tracking of full skeletons and management of multiple users for creating innovative living room experiences, as well as the ability to create PC and laptop-based apps that can track ten fingers and track the orientation and volume of two hands.
SoftKinetic designs, develops and commercializes 3D time-of-flight sensors technologies, cameras, as well as a complete family of 3D gesture recognition middleware for both long-range and short range applications. With a highly optimized CPU footprint, SoftKinetic’s solutions are perfect for embedded platforms, as well as personal computers, consoles, set-top boxes, and smart TVs.
