More Gesture Control with SoftKinetic’s DephSense 325

Gesture control is abundant nowadays, as with the Leap Motion and yet more Kinect rivals are cropping up.
Another Kinect contender rushes into the fray with SoftKinetic‘s DephSense 325.
The DephSense 325 is a pocket-sized camera (which the company claims is the world’s smallest such device) and it can “see” in high-definition 2D and also depict 3D depth.
The camera is sensitive enough that it can detect finger movement from as close as 10cm. Not even the Kinect can come close to beating that, with its current technology.
Watch a demo of the DephSense 325 here.
The accuracy of the system is not too bad, and it is able to pick up movements easily, even to the small hand gestures.
The kit is aimed not only for PC video games, but also for video conferencing and many other immersive computer applications. It comes with dual integrated microphones as well, for any audio interaction.
The DephSense 325 Professional Kit is available for pre-order now at SoftKinetic’s online store. It will be shipped out to customers within the coming weeks. It cashes in at US$249, which is about half the price of its predecessor, the DepthSense 311 with its pricetag of US$499.
Gesture technology is just cropping up all over the place! This kit is not only small, it looks like it works quite well too. I would love to get one for myself, so that I’ll no longer need a wireless keyboard and mouse when I’m working with a large display.

We are only a few steps away from alternate reality.

All these hand gesture readers look cool and all, but you have to wonder: are they of any use apart from gaming? I don’t see myself using them for anything else. I am not sure i would use them for gaming either, since there is no way they can be adapted for all the complex combos most games require.
For kids games though, that is a different matter.

This kit is awesome. Its great its not only for pc games but also for conferencing. Its amazing that is so sensitive and works better than the Kinect. The price is not that bad as well.

It is quite exciting to see this rate of progress in this field lately. Even though we still have a ways to go before it is perfected, it is definitely becoming more advanced than I ever thought it would be at this stage.

Really an interesting inovation. But i think it is still quite pricy. Nowdays people just are so used to have cameras on their phones and they are already of such good quality.

sensitivity on these is key. The kinnect is pretty bad at detecting movement.

June 8th is a great day. But besides for that, motion technology should dramatically increase when we start see holographic technology, which by the way is well into development. Just search holographic TV

The DephSense 325 is an awesome camera which is the world’s smallest device. It has more gesture control than any other camera.

These gadgets seem very cool, but do we really need them? Do they bring any value to our life.

it really is amazing to see how technology has been growing the past few years. That’s why we need blogs like these to keep people updated. It’s sad to see that there aren’t enough advertising placed on a product like this that has a lot of potential to go in the market.

Good point, IT Support. I rarely buy anything when it is brand new in the market unless I really need it, otherwise I wait till its a bit passe and then buy it at much reduced (and real!) price.

this reminds me of the Xbox kinect. I love this tech and it just keeps getting better.

These kinect-based devices are a bit of a waste in my oppinion, why target lazy gamers with something that requires them to move, most people i know that have one of these either don’t like it, or use it about once or twice a month.
