    XYZ Interactive's technology enables novel, low cost and low power and differentiating 3D gesture and position recognition use-cases such as:
    · Affordable robots and drones that can easily find their way around and reach their charging base or target (position)
    · Lighting controls and switches, where light on/off, color or brightness is controlled by a simple wave of the hand (gesture)
    · Infotainment applications where customers control displays, devices, or wearables, through simple hand or finger movements (gesture)
    · Touchless controls on medical devices or industrial machines – to ensure sterile or safe environments (gesture)
    · Sensors at the display, POS, or shelf level to count people, traffic directions, and dwell time – (gesture and position)
    · Novel interactions and gameplay for toys (gesture and position)
    · Buttonless controls for accessibility use-cases (gesture)

    The "magic" in our technology is how we enable these interactions using very low cost, low power, existing IR transmitters and receivers. Unlike camera-based solutions, our sensors can be always on in battery-operated devices, detecting positions. The technology is ideal for inclusion in any device, adding tremendous usability augmentation for the cost of a regular cup of coffee.
