The Intel Perceptual Computing SDK supports the Creative Labs Interactive Gesture Camera Developer Kit, a small, lightweight, USB-powered depth sensor camera tuned for short-range vision and intended for Ultrabooks, laptops or PC users with-in a range of roughly 6 in. to 3 ft. The Creative kit includes an HD webcam, an infrared depth sensor and a dual-array microphone. The $149 camera kit from Creative will be available to developers in Q4 of 2012. The Intel Perceptual Computing software development kit will be available for free download in Q4.
The combined kits will support speech recognition for voice command and control, short sentence dictation, and text to speech synthesis; face analysis and tracking with six and seven point landmark detection, and attribution detection such as smiles, blinks, and age groups; close-range tracking of each of the user’s hands, fingers, and joints; and 2D/3D object tracking augmented reality usage that allows developers to combine real-time images from the RGB camera and close-range tracking from the depth sensor with 2D or 3D graphical images to create innovative, immersive experiences. (SDK free — available Q4.)
