Startup to show next generation gesture recognition wrist-band for VR AR at CES 2018
TENZR has built-in capabilities to recognize gestures using the company’s custom sensing technology as well as support for the detection of custom gestures for different applications.
For the last three years the company has focused on developing an easy to use, comfortable, accurate, and reliable gesture recognition wearable that will help replace current mobile VR AR controllers. This innovative product will provide a more immersive experience to users by freeing the hand from holding bulky button-based controllers.
The latest design of TENZR is aimed at developers and early adopters that are interested in building and interfacing with systems that have Bluetooth connectivity. The new design is comfortable, easy to use, and has a similar form factor to Fitbit Charge.
Out of the box, the band will have the capability to detect 6 hand gestures (left, right, up, down, hand open, hand close) without the need for calibration. The product does not require any training, saving the user time and resulting in a plug and play system for customers to connect to any VR AR system.
A development kit with SDK is also available. In addition, the company also offers full-service design and development of custom gesture recognition for VR applications in IoT, industrial, agricultural, retail and healthcare applications using its TENZR wearable platform.
Some applications for the TENZR band include:
- Mobile or standalone VR: replaces the handheld controller;
- AR: the band complements voice-enabled smart glasses;
- Mixed Reality: it frees the user from having to lift their hand up to the field of view of the camera in the headset. For example, with Microsoft HoloLens.
Attendants at CES 2018 will be able to see TENZR being used for the first time as a hardware agnostic VR AR Controller.
