Elliptic Labs Launches First Commercial Touchless Gesturin
Technology Using Ultrasound, Designed for Electronic Devices an
Windows
Windows 8 Gesture Suite and SDK Availabl
PALO ALTO, Calif. November 13, 2012 Science fiction and futuristi
movies stepped into reality today as a result of powerful ne
touchless gesturing technology from Elliptic Lab
(www.ellipticlabs.com) based on ultrasound. Enabling consume
electronic devices to respond to natural hand movements all around
screen, Elliptic's breakthrough technology is the first of its kin
commercially available and has been incorporated in the Windows
Gesture Suite, introduced today. See video here
Elliptic is the leader in ultrasonic touchless gesturing for consume
electronic devices. Its patented, low-power, responsive new technolog
is superior to the limited, camera-based approaches on the market. Th
Windows 8 Gesture Suite enables a touchless version of all touchscree
gestures in the new operating system. Combined with Elliptic's SDK
the technology gives OEMs the flexibility to create disruptive ne
ways to interact with devices
Elliptic's ultrasound technology uses sound waves and microphones t
detect movement, similar to how radar detects objects. The technolog
is not limited to detecting movement within camera view - it detect
natural hand movements that extend beyond the camera, surrounding
device screen
"Microsoft's new Metro interface changes how consumers interac
with the operating system and the design is a perfect fit fo
touchless gestures. Elliptic's Windows 8 Gesture Suite gives users
touchless version of the gestures they already know from
touchscreen," said Tobias Dahl, CTO and founder of Ellipti
Labs
"The future of technology lies in moving from touchscreen t
gesture recognition, but to date, using cameras has proved limitin
and unnatural to users," he said. "Ultrasonic gestur
technology uses sensors to deliver its capabilities and extend
gesture-space to all sides of the screen, ensuring that the technolog
is robust and - unlike cameras - can be used in dark and bright light
Our Elliptic Windows 8 gestures gives users full control of the ne
interface by simple intuitive gestures in 3D space, enabling a mor
natural and efficient way to work.
Ultrasonic touchless technology uses up to 95% less power than curren
camera image-based gestural systems, making it an attractive optio
for device manufactures around the world. Elliptic provides a Starte
Kit for laptops; an out-of-the box solution that allows customers an
partners to get started with ultrasound-based gestures withou
designing hardware. It also comes with an SDK that incorporate
natural gestures into devices and delivers an extensive range o
example applications. With the SDK, customer and partners can creat
disruptive new ways to interact with devices and applications beyon
Windows 8. The set of controls allows using gestures for scrolling
selecting, rotating objects and controlling menus
Elliptic's software is in high demand by large OEM, ODMs and componen
and chip manufactures that are looking to integrate new capabilitie
allowing consumers to interact with tablets, ultrabooks an
smartphones
