uSens’ hand sensing, no added hardware

Last year, uSens introduced a stereo camera module capable of hand tracking. Now, uSens say they can achieve the same thing with just a smartphone's camera. At the Augmented World Expo in Santa Clara, uSens showed a beta version of its uSensAR Hand Tracking SDK, which enables developers to integrate hand tracking and 3D motion recognition for augmented and virtual reality mobile apps on iOS and Android devices. Using a smartphone's RGB camera, the company says its uSensAR hand tracking uses computer vision and deep learning to track the full hand's skeletal dynamic, rather than just a hand's fingertips.
