A Wearable Motion Sensor Solution

"The most common user interfaces  — like a mouse or a joystick — are not 'natural. We live in 3D world, but we are still using 2D devices. Another point: for applications like a 3D mouse, it is very important to have hand-free devices," Bellino explained. "We deliver an ergonomic form factor, so the product is easy to wear. It is hand/fingers free, so users can move in a very natural way. We have an AI algorithm. Thanks to our software layer, we can recognize different gestures (even complex ones) like circles, squares, and scrolls. And, last by not least, our solution is programmable with the Arduino SDK."
