Aquifi is coming out of stealth to announce Fluid Experience, a new software platform that aims to create a new generation of gesture controls that work better than the Kinect technology for Microsoft’s Xbox One video game console.
Fluid Experience
The main mission is to create adaptive gesture controls that make machines adapt to humans rather than vice versa, so that they really work as magically as they’re supposed to, given all of the hype around motion-sensing in the past few years. Aquifi says that more precise gesture technology will work over wider areas, interpret more than just hand gestures or body positions, and adapt based on machine learning.
