eyeSight’s Technology Uses the Built-in Camera to Track Hand Gestures and Convert Them Into Commands. It Allows Handset Manufacturers Expand Their Offerings and Improve User Experience
eyeSight Mobile Technologies, a developer of Natural User Interface (NUI) solutions for mobile phones and
consumer electronics devices, today launched innovative technology, allowing Android device manufacturers to offer their clients for the first time control over their handsets by using simple hand gestures.
eyeSight’s solution utilizes the device’s built-in camera, advanced real-time image processing and machine vision algorithms, to track the user’s hand motions and convert them into commands. Users of Android devices can now silence an incoming call, navigate between GPS menus, activate their MP3 player and play games by swiping their hand over the device.
eyeSight’s technology is a pure software solution, highly optimized for mobile platforms, offering low CPU and memory requirements, which directly translate to low power consumption. The expected introduction of new Android devices with front-facing-camera by Motorola, HTC and Google will enable users to fully utilize the benefits offered by eyeSight technology. It enables users control their phones and navigate in documents, Web pages or maps by using gesture recognition technology.
“A good technology is an invisible one. eyeSight’s Touch Free Interface technology for Android-based devices introduces exactly that – a new level of interaction that is natural, intuitive and simple to use,” said Itay Katz eyeSight’s Founder & CEO. “Users are looking for ways to ease, improve and enjoy their day to day interaction with their mobile phone, ideally aiming to gain effortless control of the device’s applications and functions, which is where eyeSight’s solution comes into place.”
eyeSight provides a natural and intuitive way to control portable devices and applications. As the number of applications increases, users spend more time navigating complicated menus. So for instance, when using a mobile navigation system, instead of looking for a specific key or clicking specific areas on the screen, the driver focuses on the road, and controls the device by a simple hand gesture. Moreover, while playing mobile games, eyeSight’s technology enables playing by using hand motions emulating real life actions such as – throwing a ball, catching a boomerang, blocking enemy’s attacks and more. The technology has been developed to work within many Android phones’ apps and provides a new, fun, and exciting way for users to easily control their favorite activities.
