Softkinetic-Optrima brings the industry the next leap in 3D imaging technology.

 

The video game industry is experiencing a period of rapid growth that will take the global market from $42 billion in 2007 to an estimated $68 billion in 2012 (source: PricewaterhouseCooper’s Global Entertainment and Media Outlook 2007-2012). This growth is driven by the continued introduction of technologically advanced, home game consoles and innovative software titles, including casual and fitness games. These are expanding the gaming experience to new demographic groups such as older adults, women and families.

 

Video game developers, home console manufacturers and arcade solution providers are looking for new ways to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive landscape. Meanwhile, gamers are demanding sophisticated scenarios that provide more intuitive game play experiences.



Softkinetic-Optrima’s integrated solution, combining the iisu™ middleware platform with the DepthSense™ CMOS time-of-flight sensor, offers a rich set of interfaces and predefined gesture-based patterns that video game and content developers can use to create fun and exciting game play experiences.

With Softkinetic-Optrima’s 3D gesture recognition solution, game developers can produce multiplatform gesture-based games, standardize game control schemes, consolidate resources and reduce financial risk.
