Software algorithm for ST multizone Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors to recognize and track hand gestures.
Gesture Recognition solution based on ST 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, VL53L7CX and VL53L8CX are real-time native 8x8 multizone Time-of-Flight sensors. With wide FoV from 65° to 90°, its 60Hz maximum ranging frequency allow 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
- Ready to use and integrate in new or existing designs
- High privacy as no imaging is involved unlike camera
- Low power advantage of ToF sensor technology
- Light gesture algorithm can run on low-power MCU
- Light data flow (unlike radar)
- General-purpose MCU already embedded in most architectures
- Not sensitive to target color, shape, and size
