| Softkinetic Announces iisu Plug-In for 3DVIA Virtools Softkinetic has announced the availability of the Softkinetic iisu plug-in for 3DVIA Virtools 4.1 development platform. Last February at the Game Developers Conference, 3DVIA and Softkinetic announced a partnership to deliver tools to create immersive and intuitive user experiences in video games and serious games applications. This announcement presents the first result of this partnership. Softkinetic's iisu is a gesture recognition system that has the ability to capture full body movements as well as isolate the intricate movements of a user'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 on the market. The iisu plug-in product gives developers full access to Softkinetic's API through the 3DVIA Virtools library. By combining 3DVIA Virtools' 3D platform with Softkinetic's 3D gesture recognition it will provide endless possibilities for developers to create new 3D applications and will help leverage the assets provided by 3DVIA Virtools. The product will be available for demonstrations at Softkinetic's booth on Devcon's TechIsland during Devcon June 17-18, 2008. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Game News :: home page |
