Gesture interface startup EyeSight Mobile Technologies gets backing from Ceva and Mitsui
EyeSight (Herzilia, Israel), founded in 2005, has developed hand-gesture recognition software for any camera-enabled device and the technology is suitable for smartphones, tablet computers, e-readers, portable games consoles, digital picture frames and picoprojectors amongst other devices. Ceva (Mountain View, CA) announced that it was partnering with EyeSight in November 2010 and that EyeSight’s gesture recognition technology would be hosted on the MM2000 portable multimedia platform from Ceva, which in turn is based on the Ceva-X1622 16-bit DSP core and an application-specific DSP accelerator subsystem, the Ceva-XS1200A.
Under the minority equity investment agreement, EyeSight will now offer its touch-free interface technologies, including gesture recognition and finger tracking software, to users of the MM3000 image signal processing (ISP) and video platform.
"This equity investment in EyeSight is aimed at expanding the addressable markets for our Ceva-MM3000 platform to include the burgeoning embedded vision and scene analysis arenas," said Gideon Wertheizer, CEO of Ceva, in a statement.
