What are Optical Gesture Solutions?

Gesture sensing offers broad applicability, suitable for consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and automotive systems.
This infrared LED-based solution provides a cost-effective alternative to camera-based gesture sensing. Its ability to incorporate not only standard gestures but also custom patterns and palm shape recognition makes it an ideal next-generation interface.

Create Gesture Sensor Determination Software With Ease!

A key challenge when integrating gesture sensing into applications is the requirement to develop the gesture determination software independently.
To address this, NEXTY provides a design kit featuring a learning platform and hardware, enabling straightforward generation of the necessary gesture determination software.
We also offer contract development services; please contact us for details.
* Hardware is partially under development.
