Xesto Inc. is a Canadian tech developer of a web-based gesture recognition platform that will allow developers to enhance users' ability to control and interact with devices using hand gestures that do not require touching a screen or other controls. Applications for this platform include mobile and cloud-based services for entertainment, automotive, health/wellness, productivity, and business/product discovery. Xesto currently works with automotive companies on touchless dashboards and has had interest from various other industries (augmented & virtual reality producers, healthcare/wellness organizations, retail/online vendors, etc.). ** Xesto seeks to collaborate with Sheridan's Screen Industries Research and Training Centre (SIRT) to further develop their innovative gesture recognition product into a version compatible with phones and other mobile devices. The enhanced system aims to provide custom gesture recognition for the iPhone's Augmented Reality (AR) Kit, with modularity that allows portability to Google's AR Core and hardware/software integration on other devices. ** Currently, most companies that focus on gesture detection on mobile phones don't utilize a depth camera, relying solely on a less accurate and efficient RGB camera to detect and track hands. Xesto and SIRT propose to conduct research to identify and optimize hand tracking, hand segmentation and gesture recognition algorithms, which will allow a system to run on any type of device or platform using a depth camera. The anticipated research outcomes will enable Xesto to broaden its expertise and services to assist developers and clients from multiple sectors, and provide the 'go-to tool' for gesture recognition in AR/VR experiences and applications. This will further Xesto's development of creating and marketing an innovative, industry leading device-agnostic gesture-detection system that will leverage the shift from 2D to 3D gesture detection and recognition. There are currently no major gesture companies in the market, and in a few years gesture-based technology will be commonplace. ****

Xesto Inc.是一家加拿大技术开发商，其基于网络的手势识别平台将允许开发人员增强用户使用手势控制和与设备交互的能力，而不需要触摸屏幕或其他控制。此平台的应用程序包括用于娱乐、汽车、健康/保健、生产力和业务/产品发现的移动和基于云的服务。Xesto目前与汽车公司合作开发非接触式仪表板，其他行业（增强现实和虚拟现实生产商、医疗保健/健康组织、零售/在线供应商等）也对其产生了兴趣。** Xesto寻求与谢里丹的屏幕工业研究和培训中心（SIRT）合作，进一步开发其创新的手势识别产品，使其与手机和其他移动设备兼容。增强后的系统旨在为iPhone的增强现实（AR）套件提供定制的手势识别，其模块化允许可移植性到b谷歌的AR核心和硬件/软件集成到其他设备上。**目前，大多数专注于手机手势检测的公司都没有使用深度摄像头，仅仅依靠一个不太准确和高效的RGB摄像头来检测和跟踪手部。Xesto和SIRT提议进行研究，以识别和优化手部跟踪、手部分割和手势识别算法，这将使系统能够在任何类型的设备或使用深度相机的平台上运行。预期的研究成果将使Xesto能够扩大其专业知识和服务，以帮助来自多个领域的开发人员和客户，并为AR/VR体验和应用中的手势识别提供“首选工具”。这将进一步推动Xesto开发和销售一种创新的、行业领先的、与设备无关的手势检测系统，该系统将利用从2D到3D手势检测和识别的转变。目前市场上还没有大型的手势公司，几年后基于手势的技术将会普及。* * * *
