The PrimeSensor is an end-to-end solution that enables a device to perceive the world in three dimensions and to translate these perceptions into a synchronized image, in the same way that humans do. The solution includes a sensor component, which observes the scene (users and their surroundings), and a perception component, or brain, which comprehends the user interaction within these surroundings.   The PrimeSensor is able to see and track user movements within the scene and provide the application layer with control widgets – a simple, clear API that translates user gestures or postures into known, deterministic application inputs. All activity is performed without any assumptions about the host, the user or the environment. No wearable equipment is required, making the solution practical, convenient, intuitive and easy to use. The sensor provides a natural interface to living-room devices (such as game consoles and set-top boxes), mobile devices and more.   PrimeSense is dedicated to bringing a novel and natural interaction solution to the mass consumer market. PrimeSense provides both a thin-host PrimeSensor depth acquisition device, as well as embedded middleware components that perform depth processing. To support a fast-growing market, PrimeSense has teamed up with depth-processing middleware partners and application providers to co develop a unique holistic solution. The benefits of this novel, collaborative API are clearly visible – enabling companies that adopt the natural interface to quickly capitalize on their investment by means of new applications, new experiences and new target audiences.
