November 11, 2008 – Cooperation with Softkinetic: PMD goes gaming

 

Softkinetic, the leading provider of 3D gesture-recognition software, has announced that its unique software platform, iisu™, is compatible with PMDTec’s PMD[vision]® CamCube.

iisu simplifies communications between the hardware of 3D depth cameras and the application it is working with. It enables precise, real-time tracking of a user’s body parts and gestures. What’s more, it supports both full-body and upper-body gesture recognition, enabling the development of innovative interfaces for video games, healthcare products, multimedia touch-less user interfaces and other interactive applications. “We are delighted that the PMD[vision]® CamCube can now benefit from Softkinetic expertise,” says Dr. Bernd Buxbaum, CEO at PMDTec. “Our technology is already being mass produced in other markets, and we expect it to be launched in cooperation with Softkinetic very soon, enabling exciting new interaction solutions for end users.”
