XTR3D To Unveil "iZi"-- Touch Free Gesture Control for PC Laptops at GDC
XTR3D To Demo Touch-Free Gesture Control App "iZi" for Laptops at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) March 2-4, 2011
San Francisco, CA — Extreme Reality (‘XTR3D’) Ltd., provider of touch-free Gesture Control and Motion Capture Interfaces, will demonstrate at GDC, its new touch-free gesture control interface for laptops, “iZi” (pronounced ‘easy’). XTR3D’s iZi allows gamers to easily control PC games and applications using body gestures and/or movement.
iZi utilizes a laptop's built-in camera to capture the body movement of a single and or multiple users. Gestures are then associated with system events to control a game or other application. The iZi demo at GDC will feature pre-installed games from XTR3D’s growing number of game partners and will also be customizable for additional games and software applications.
“XTR3D's application development tools, such as iZi, satisfy three different types of audiences," says XTR3D CEO Dor Givon; “the laptop vendors transform their machines into gesture-controlled computers using iZi Pro for laptops, while the application developers utilize iZi Pro’s technology to implement gesture control to any application or game command they offer. Inevitably, the End users benefit the most, enjoying a compelling gesture-controlled experience on their laptop. XTR3D's suite of motion-capture gesture-control software reinvents the way users interact with CE devices and in-home entertainment."
The introduction of XTR3D's iZi app serves as a steppingstone to execute the company’s strategic penetration into the laptop market with an emphasis on touch-free device control. XTR3D will be meeting with game and application developers interested in implementing gesture control capabilities to their offering.
iZi will be demonstrated at GDC in meeting room BMR 346. For more information on iZi, please visit: www.izipc.com.
