Company Name: Motion Gestures
Location: Waterloo, Canada
Sector: Technology, Artificial Intelligence
Funding Details: Raised USD 2M in Pre-A funding, led by CCAA, with participation from Keiretsu Forum, Propel*, and GTAN. This brings the total capital raised to USD 10M, including USD 4.5M in Canadian Government grants for AI-based Computer Vision research.
Purpose of Investment: To expand operations and enhance development efforts.
Leadership: Led by CEO Mr. Kashif Kahn.
Product: Motion Gestures specializes in advanced AI software for hand tracking and gesture recognition, compatible with third-party cameras of any type (RGB, NIR, Depth), resolution (even as low as 32×32 pixels), and positioning (front-facing, ego-centric). The technology uses a 21 joints-based skeleton model for accurate hand tracking and provides real-time positional coordinates. It recognizes all types of gestures, including dynamic gestures at low camera speeds (20 fps), and allows for the creation of custom gestures without the need for conventional training data collection. The software can be deployed on standard processors, and the number of hands tracked can scale based on available computational resources.
About Company: Motion Gestures is at the forefront of developing sophisticated contactless user interface applications, currently collaborating with over 150 OEMs across multiple industry verticals worldwide. The company's cutting-edge technology enables more intuitive and accessible user interactions, making it a leader in the field of gesture recognition.
