Gesture recognition technology is the ability to communicate with machine using human bodily motions, which commonly originate from face or hand. The user can interact with the device to carry out a task without the need of touching it. In gesture recognition technology, a camera reads the moment of the human body and interprets the data to the computer that uses gesture as an input to control the devices or applications. A Smart TV is an integration of internet and web applications into the television set, which offers advanced computing ability and better connectivity than a contemporary basic television set. Smart TV with the help of the gesture recognition technology offers user-friendly features for the end user to interact with it.
The gesture recognition software is mainly concerned with the recognition of images with the help of camera and sensors, which are continuously capturing human motions in the form of 2D images; they capture the motions like wave, swipe up, down, push, and pull. The advanced application of gesture recognition is with the 3D motions wherein the device would be able to track hands, fingers, eyes and their moving mannerism. There is a particular mathematical analog approach used by the software for understanding the 3D gestures more significantly than the 2D motions; that involves the use of the 3D Depth camera. The technology is completely software based with the hardware capability to capture image, which is processed using a standard 2D or 3D camera, and is further executed with 3D stereoscopic sensors, and IR illumination.
The gesture is actually useful for consumer electronics like Smart TV due to its size and distance with respect to the user who is trying to access it. In the gesture recognition software market, there are mainly three participants, namely- PointGrab (Israel), Eyesight (Israel), and Omek Interactive (Israel) who have introduced gesture recognition software in the market. The developers have programmed gesture recognizing for consumer electronics in two ways, close- range and long-range.
Close-range works on the devices, which are nearer to the user. For instance, mobiles, personal computing devices, automobiles and laptop need a close-range interaction for accessing the device properly.
The long-range software tool is used as middleware, and as a tool, that enables the creation of full body tracking and gesture interfaces. The power gesture is based on game consoles, to create immersive digital signage experiences, power hands-free TV interfaces, and for many other applications and industries. The motion tool kit has the ability to create custom gestures in minutes for the users, in order to interact according to their preference for an interactive experience.
Gesture Recognition software is an interactive tool, which is expected to drive the consumer electronics market in future. The software that is currently developed by many companies programs the whole processing of gestures. This software is able to execute all types of gesture functionalities; however, it is not that reliable when used on a broader aspect and the current technology is based on the 3D depth camera and the gesture recognition software. The whole gesture recognition technology is emerging from the semiconductor level to the end user application, which is continuously evolving.
Smart TV gesture recognition market in this region has a broad scope due to its fast growing economy. The socio-economic trends are continuously increasing their product line, which is cluttering the consumer electronics market. The gesture software companies are mainly from the western Asia, which has been developing its market by narrowing the technologies for specific applications. 3D sensors was first commercialized, in gaming industry and are now gaining popularity in the mass market of smart TV, laptop, and smartphones.
The overall economy of Europe is strong and established; hence, this market can generate a platform for gesture recognition software participants. Currently, the region is recovering from economic downturn. The gesture recognition software market has a good scope in the European market due to advanced technology, and the acceptance towards technology. The Long Term Evolution (LTE) is used as high productivity technology in telecom sector, which would be a supporting factor for SMART TV gesture recognition software participants in this market.
American countries, being developed countries, enjoy better economic conditions compared to other developing nations. The American countries are projected to increase their purchasing power by 2020. The key drivers for the Americas gesture recognition market are the gaming and entertainment industry. Currently, consumer electronics application also contributes more than 99.00% in gesture recognition technology.
