Crunchfish signs agreement with Lenovo for XR Skeleton Stereo

2022-05-31|

Crunchfish Gesture Interaction AB (“Crunchfish”) signs a commercial license agreement with Lenovo, to provide Lenovo’s new AR-glasses with Crunchfish’s latest hand tracking technology – XR Skeleton Stereo. Lenovo has integrated the software in their AR glasses to enable touchless interaction. It is a 2-years agreement, with a business model that includes an upfront fee as well as a running royalty per produced unit that includes Crunchfish’s software.

The agreement gives Lenovo the right to use Crunchfish’s technology – XR Skeleton Stereo – in AR glasses and Smart glasses worldwide. Crunchfish XR Skeleton Stereo is the company’s latest and most advanced software to date and provides support for two-hand interaction and the use of two camera sensors simultaneously.

Lenovo is since last year using Crunchfish’s previous product generation, based on single point tracking of a hand, that has been shipped in Lenovo’s DaystAR products. Lenovo’s new generation AR glasses target higher production volumes and has a more powerful hardware with two camera sensors (stereo) that enables high precision hand tracking. With Crunchfish’s skeleton hand tracking technology, dual-hand interaction is made possible with high precision and accuracy.

Lenovo is focused on a vision to deliver smarter technology for all. By designing, engineering, and building the world’s most complete portfolio of smart devices and infrastructure, Lenovo is also leading an Intelligent transformation – to create better experiences and opportunities for millions of customers around the world.

“We strongly believe in the future of AR glasses and intuitive gesture interaction will be crucial to ensure a great user experience. We are very happy with Crunchfish’s technology and look forward to a long and rewarding collaboration”, says Karl Lu, Senior Manager at Lenovo Research.

“We are very pleased that Lenovo has chosen to integrate our XR Skeleton Stereo solution into its new AR glasses. With XR Skeleton Stereo, we have taken the Skeleton platform and our hand tracking technology even closer to perfection and enable, as one of the first companies in the world, two-hand tracking with millimeter precision and support for dual cameras. We have worked closely with Lenovo to integrate our solution and are very proud to add gesture interaction to the AR experience for their users”, says Joakim Nydemark, CEO at Crunchfish Gesture Interaction.

Crunchfish Gesture Interaction showcase image domain transfer tool

2022-04-07|

Crunchfish is proud to showcase its latest software tool for deep learning that enables the use of synthetic image data to generate annotations on real images – image domain transfer. Examples of image domains are different camera sensors such as color, greyscale and Infrared cameras. The new tool is part of a comprehensive image data management system that includes all steps from creating synthetic image data to transfer of real-life images for deep learning.

Automatiskt genererad beskrivning

 

A crucial part of Crunchfish Skeleton Platform – enabling hand tracking and gesture interaction – is to create training data for deep learning and neural networks. All training data must be annotated. With millions of images, manual annotation is extremely time consuming why, Crunchfish has developed a tool that automatically generates annotated images with high accuracy at a tiny fraction of the time compared to manual annotation. This radically shortens the tedious annotation process.

 

Reliable and robust image data is essential for deep learning, which is why a huge number of high-quality images are needed. This data includes both image streams of real hands as well as synthetic data. By doing a photogrammetry scan of a hand, a 3D model is created and used to generate synthetic image data. The hand objects in this data can then be manipulated by adding animated anatomy and by modifying loads of parameters such as size, age, color, shadows, lighting effects, etc. In this way, a huge variety of images are created to secure a diversity of data content.

 

Crunchfish’s image domain transfer tool generates data for deep learning in a new domain – such as Infrared cameras – without any manual work, using only synthetic data. Changes and addition of new training data can be done in days rather than months which makes the versatile Crunchfish Skeleton platform much more efficient.

 

“With this new image domain transfer tool, we can increase the speed of generating new data substantially for new domains such as different camera types and enable us to bring new products faster to the market. Unsupervised domain transfer is a holy grail of deep learning and we can now reap the benefits of it”, says Daniel Milesson, R&D Director, Crunchfish Gesture Interaction.

 

To learn more about Crunchfish’s new Domain transfer tool, please join Crunchfish’s Survival of the fittest webinar air on Friday April 8th at 08:00 am CET / 11.30 IST. The webinar is broadcasted live and recorded, starting with a short presentation, followed by moderator led Q&A with a panel and the audience.
