Many consumers remain lost in the sea of smart devices with multiple ways to interact (several remotes, apps, switches, etc.) with them, which is frustrating to consumers. New technology, including active interactions like voice and gesture control, are unlocking opportunities to break through the crowded market and provide a more seamless way for consumers to interact with their smart devices. Passive interactions, like the lights or your favorite TV show turning on when an identified person walks into the room, upgrade consumers’ everyday experiences by incorporating deep learning and embedded computer vision models to interact with smart devices in the most natural way. eyeSight Technologies’s CEO, Gideon Shmuel, is an expert in computer vision and gesture recognition technologies. His focus centers on developing sensing solutions to improve our daily lives. Shmuel will discuss how he sees computer vision-based gesture control and user awareness as the future of smart homes and other digital devices. Shmuel will also elaborate in more detail on the future of car experiences, and the benefits of computer vision-based gesture control and user awareness to ensure the driver is interacting with any in-car entertainment in the most natural and non-distracting way. He will explain the importance of user awareness embedded computer vision technology that includes gaze tracking and can detect distracted driving and drowsiness.
