DEVOTEAM PARTNERS WITH SOFTKINETIC-OPTRIMA TO BRING GESTURE-BASED INTERFACE TO TELEVISION

Leading IT Consulting Recognizes Market Potential of 3D Camera and Gesture Recognition Solutions for Consumer Electronics Markets
 
Brussels, Belgium – February 26- Devoteam, the leading consultancy and engineering company in information technologies in Europe and Softkinetic–Optrima, the leading provider of integrated hardware/software 3D imaging solutions, today announced a partnership to create a prototype for the next generation TV interface.
 
“The IT and telecommunications markets continue to experience strong convergence, forcing service providers to rethink the way their customers access richer, more complex media, including TV, Internet and video games” said Michel Tombroff, Softkinetic-Optrima Managing Partner and Softkinetic CEO. “Devoteam, with its strong position in the telecommunications services provider market, will help bring the technology to the mainstream”.
 
Softkinetic-Optrima’s iisu™ middleware insulates application developers from the low-level technicalities of the 3D depth sensing cameras, dramatically reduces their development cycles by offering a rich set of interfaces and predefined gesture-based patterns, and allows them to focus their effort on the interaction itself.
 
The Softkinetic-Optrima solution combines Softkinetic’s industry leading 3D gesture recognition software with Optrima’s patented CMOS sensor and 3D imager to bring true, one-to-one full-body gesture recognition interfaces to consumer markets.
 
“Our prime objective is to put cutting edge technology at the service of our customers” said Peter Vandeurzen, Business Development Director at Devoteam. “Softkinetic-Optrima’s technology enables an entirely new and more natural 3D experience. We are currently busy exploring how this technology can be brought to our demanding clients who are eager to deliver innovation to the consumers in the near future”.
