Assessment of the Gesture Recognition Market for Gaming Consoles 2015-2019

About Gesture Recognition

Gesture recognition is the ability of a device to identify and respond to different gestures, such as movement of hands, fingers, arms, head, or the entire body, of an individual. Gesture recognition technology can be 2D-based or 3D-based. It uses a camera-enabled device that beams an invisible infrared light onto the individual, which is reflected back to the camera and onto a gesture recognition IC. The IC, with the help of gesture recognition software, creates depth maps of the images received and responds appropriately to the movements. Thus, no physical contact is required between individuals and devices. For instance, Microsoft has developed Kinect that can be used for Xbox gaming consoles. The device would ideally contain a chip with gesture recognition software to detect the gestures by users. Gesture recognition technology when combined with voice recognition, facial recognition, eye-tracking, and other related technologies provide a very powerful technology that can completely change the way we control machines.
