OMRON Corporation today launched "Hand Gesture
V2," new image sensing software that allows users to interact with
machines in a natural manner. With a wider range of recognizable angles -- ±30
degrees left-right and ±20 degrees up-down -- OMRON's new software enables
users to manipulate machines using more natural types of hand gestures.
"Hand Gesture V2" also includes a new fingertip position detection
function, enabling it to also recognize a user's hand gestures for mouse
pointer movements.
OMRON's "Hand Gesture V2" will be unveiled at
CEATEC JAPAN 2013 to be held October 1-5 at the Makuhari Messe fair site. In
addition to the display of this new product at the OMRON Booth, OMRON will also
hold a new technology and new products seminar entitled "Gesture
Recognition Technology and Its Applications" at Exhibition Hall 3 of the
CEATEC venue beginning at 3:30 pm on October 2.
