Kionix Introduces Gesture DesignerTM for Sophisticated User Interface

Ithaca, New York – Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Before long, users of handheld electronics will be able to train their devices to accept their own personal gestures for feature enablement. Today, at the Globalpress Electronics Summit in Santa Cruz, CA, Kionix announced Gesture Designer, a software engine that, when embedded into device hardware, allows individuals to capture, and manage unique signatures for any number of gestures they wish to generate for motion-enabled functionality in consumer electronics.

Kionix, a global leader in the design and fabrication of high-performance, silicon-micromachined MEMS inertial sensors, is currently introducing Gesture Designer to hardware, software, and application developers as well as device manufacturers.

According to the company, content developers now struggle to define a gesture library that can be applied to all applications and all users. Gesture Designer will help them provide a user-friendly environment for the creation, evaluation, and implementation of motion-based gestures for such applications as intuitive user interface and interactive gaming.

In essence, Gesture Designer is a library of code from which user-specific, gesture-based commands can be created and managed. A gesture-based command is a recording of the data that results from the movement of an accelerometer during a gesture event. Once authenticated by the onboard recognition engine and subsequently stored, this unique command can be used to execute an operation.

Tools such as Gesture Designer will allow mobile electronics vendors to enhance their software development kits with critical capabilities that include greater access to embedded sensors, the ability to interpret sensor outputs, and, ultimately, the ability to customize the use of this information for specific applications or end-user characteristics.
