| Softkinetic Unveils iisu Softkinetic has announced the first public viewing of iisu, a 3D gesture recognition solution poised to change user interfaces, at the Game Developers Conference. The result of four years of research and development, iisu is a gesture recognition system that has the ability to capture full body movements as well as isolate the intricate movements of a consumer's body, such as arms or hands, to provide an unlimited number of interface options for developers to use in creating new gameplay applications. The iisu technology is compatible with most major 3D depth sensing cameras allowing users to become the actual interface, removing the need for a controller. The technologically advanced, patent-pending middleware filters out furniture, walls and other players in the room for an in-depth level of gameplay currently missing in the market. Created with developers' needs in mind, iisu is built with C and C++ for high performance and low memory usage. Developers can use C, C++ or C# APIs in synchronous or asynchronous modes for easy adaptation to any 3D physical engine. This high level API coding allows the ability to control the navigation, view orientation, object manipulation, action triggers and screen pointing. Softkinetic's iisu supports most major 3D depth sensing cameras currently in the market. The middleware platform gives developers a rich set of interfaces that allows them to focus on gameplay design and development. Delivered as a Software Development Kit, Softkinetic's iisu includes technical consulting, 3D graphics and an application development service. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Game News :: home page |
