SoftKinetic Raises the Bar of Gesture Recognition Software with Open Developer Beta Release of iisu 3.0


Brussels and Daegu, South Korea (PRWEB UK) 8 November 2011

SoftKinetic, the leading developer of end-to-end gesture recognition solutions, has today announced the launch of an open developer beta for iisu 3.0 (pronounced eezoo), the most advanced gesture recognition middleware offering on the market, during the Korea Games Conference. The new open beta version of iisu is designed to help developers build gesture-recognition applications in record time, for use on any 3D camera.

 

iisu 3.0 brings a whole new dimension to gesture recognition, said Eric Krzeslo, chief strategy officer of SoftKinetic. The community has been pretty active with the free version of iisu 2.8 since it was made available back in March at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. The market is expecting an easy to use, yet professional and commercial solution to build games and application, and this is precisely what we are offering them.

 

iisu 3.0 offers new features to make it easier than ever for developers to easily create stunning games and applications in the developer environment of their choice:

New gesture library iisus new gesture library allows game designers and technical artists to kick-start their apps in record time by simply dragging and dropping desired sets of gestures.
Ease of integration iisu is available in developers favorite environments, from Flash to Unity3D to C++ , C and C#.
Skeleton tracking Full skeleton tracking is now available in the free version of iisu for the first time.
New iisu toolbox iisus new toolbox provides access to live data and performance analytics during development.
Day one productivity Thanks to a large library of samples, developers will be up and running with iisu in record time.

SoftKinetic offers hardware, middleware, and applications that can be built once and deployed on any 3D sensor. With a highly optimized CPU footprint, SoftKinetics solutions are perfect for embedded platforms, as well as personal computers, consoles, set-top boxes, and smart TVs. Combined with world-class support, SoftKinetic is the leader in gesture recognition offerings.

 

Weve been working with iisu for the development of a soccer game for a few months. While development started with iisu 2.8, we have recently joined the beta test for iisu 3.0 and decided to complete the game with the new release, said Laurent Coulon, chief executive officer of Liquid Dragon Studios. The improvements in the skeleton tracking quality are huge, we have been able to achieve gameplay that was impossible with the previous generation.
