ARM and eyeSight partner to enable 3D gesture recognition with ARM Mali GPUs

Manufacturers using ARM Mali GPUs can now benefit from eyeSight’s natural-feeling, advanced gesture control capabilities, optimized using GPU Compute for improved robustness, accuracy and energy efficiency. The improved efficiency of gesture computation through use of the GPU will also improve a variety of new use cases, such as face and emotion detection, long distance finger tracking, and even 3D motion recognition (such as finger pointing for selection). 

The ARM Mali T600 GPU Compute optimized engine from eyeSight will enable gesture recognition by mobiles, tablets and TVs and a range of other devices. With this technology, Mali devices can recognise a rich language of gestures including directional gestures, (such as up, right, wave, etc.), hand signs (such as a ‘thumbs-up’), and tracking of hands and even fingertips, (for mouse-cursor-accuracy).

“For ARM to have enabled us to optimise our software for use as part of its ARM Mali GPU software stack shows that ARM understands the huge market appeal of our software and of gesture technology more generally, which is quickly becoming a prominent differentiating feature in devices of all kinds,” commented Gideon Shmuel, CEO of eyeSight. “By making it easier to integrate gesture into ARM powered devices, eyeSight and ARM are providing a route to really bring gesture to the masses. We look forward to developing our partnership with ARM.’

eyeSight’s video pre-processing sits between the camera and the gesture control, ‘cleaning up’ the image so that the shapes and movement of hands and fingers can be recognised, even when the original image is substandard, improving overall performance in low-light conditions or when using low-resolution cameras. Mali GPUs will also be able to process gesture in three dimensions, via two-camera (‘stereoscopic’) devices and devices with infrared depth perception.
