Robots have toiled for years in manufacturing, medical applications and the military but beyond a few exceptions like iRobot’s Roomba, few have stepped into our daily lives yet. To become consumer products, robots need to operate in the messy world of human beings and not the sterile and structured environment of the factory floor. PrimeSense 3D sensors give…
An exoskeleton helps a paraplegic to walk again. A pint-sized device moves plants around a nursery. A personal car co-pilot improves your driving skills. Robots are on their way into our daily lives, but you may not recognize them when they get here. Our robot future will look very different than the movies. The vast majority of robots…
Last night was awesome! We were invited to demonstrate some real live mobile 3D sensing applications with a few of our OpenNI Partners at the official Google I/O After Hours party. We brought along our Capri sensor and demonstrated applications using the Nexus 10 tablet from Google and Android’s operating system. Yup, the Nexus 10. We also had…
How many times have you been walking and texting (or biking and texting, heaven forbid) and walked right into something – a bench, a trashcan, off the sidewalk and into a person? Maybe a few more times than you care to admit. And even though there seems to be an app for just about everything these days, how…
At PrimeSense, our talented software and middleware engineers on the research and development teams work very hard to create interesting applications and software with our 3D sensors. They are always producing an array of applications, sensor utilities and computer vision algorithms to find the best practice and useful tools for the developer community. Sometimes these creations find their…
Before we say “Goodbye April, Hello May”, we’re here with another Monthly RoundUp. It was yet another pleasantly busy month for us at PrimeSense. We’ve been presenting all over the world once again, from Beijing to Boston to Paris. We’re sharing the word that PrimeSense technology is fitting for nearly every market; the possibilities are infinite. We kicked…
Welcome to one of our in-depth looks into 3D sensing technology for different markets – we already told you about Retail. Today, We’ll take you inside 3D Sensing in the World of Medicine. PrimeSense tech might seem like it belongs in the same niche as magic, but we’re here to dispel those notions. Read on to learn more:…
On April 27-May 2, the ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems will take place in Paris. The main vision behind CHI 2013 is about looking at new ways for people to interact with technology. PrimeSense is collaborating with JCDecaux, the number one outdoor advertising company worldwide, who will utilize our 3D sensors with…
On April 23, our VP of Commercial Markets Business Unit, Ohad Shvueli will deliver the opening keynote speech at IEEE International Conference on Technology for Practical Robot Applications (TePRA). TePRA is a technical space for robotic scientists to present their findings in the world of practical robotics. Ohad has been asked to speak about where 3D…
Well it’s been another busy month here at PrimeSense. We’ve been all over the world, literally. We spent all of last week at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) March 25-29, San Francisco, California – the world’s largest professionals-only game industry event. Along with our pals at OpenNI we’ve been demonstrating Natural Interaction development and explaining how the tools we use…
