Motion Gestures has secured USD 2 million in pre-series A financing to enhance its advanced AI technology for camera-based hand tracking and gesture recognition.

Target Information

Motion Gestures has developed advanced AI software specializing in camera-based hand tracking and gesture recognition for user interface applications. Founded in 2017 in Waterloo, Canada, the company has made significant strides in the tech sector by utilizing cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies. Their innovative platform enhances hand tracking accuracy to nearly 100%, while simultaneously reducing the time and cost associated with gesture development by a factor of ten.

The software is versatile and can operate with any type of camera—including RGB, NIR, and depth cameras—across various resolutions, even ultra-low resolutions down to 32x32 pixels. It employs a 21-joint skeleton model for hand tracking and provides real-time positional data regardless of the camera's orientation or speed, thus making it applicable for multiple industries and expanding its reach within the market.
