Intentiva makes it easier to control TVs, PCs, and other home devices by recognizing simple hand and finger gestures. The company develops uCentric, a gesture-recognition interface that applies computational neuroscience insights and machine learning models to infer user intentions. uCentric operates as software (an SDK/embedded interface) that ingests depth-camera inputs such as Xbox Kinect, Asus Xtion or PrimeSense sensors and can accept webcam input in later versions. The product targets consumer electronics and smart-home device interactions and can be integrated by device makers and application developers.
