Software algorithm for VL53L5CX multizone Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors to recognize and track hand gestures.
Gesture Recognition solution based on VL53L5CX multizone Time-of-Flight ranging sensor
Software
The STSW-IMG035 software presents an ecosystem complete with GUI and example code to streamline the design and development of gesture recognition interfaces.
The Gesture EVK tool lets you immediately start evaluating the potential of our powerful gesture algorithm for your application.
Hardware
The VL53L5CX is the first real-time native 8x8 multizone Time-of-Flight sensor. It features a wide 63° diagonal FoV and 60Hz maximum ranging frequency for accurate and reliable gesture recognition. ST offers different development boards and options to help designers integrate gesture recognition technology in their prototypes and go to market fast.
Unlimited applications and markets
STGesture™ benefits
- Cost-friendly sensor, system architecture, and development
