INCORPORATING SMARTGOGGLES™ TECHNOLOGY
Firm Unveils First Intelligent, Interactive 3D Goggles at
CES
COLUMBIA,
MD (Jan 5th, 2012) –Sensics introduces
Natalia™, the first intelligent, immersive, and interactive 3D goggles
based on its new SmartGoggles™
technology.
Sensics’ Natalia is a fully-immersive 3D goggle that combines the
resolution and field of view found in professional head-mounted displays, the
unique ability to run powerful applications on board, and real-time, 360-degree
tracking of the hands from the user’s perspective.
“The ability to use interactive goggles without wires and without
the need for an external computer opens up new opportunities for applications
that benefit from limitless tracking area, greater portability, and on-board
intelligence,” says Yuval Boger, Sensics Chief Executive Officer.
“Imagine being able to use hand movements and gestures to wield a light
saber in a game, to select a movie from a media library, or to interact with
augmented reality content,” explains Boger. “The possibilities are
endless.”
Natalia features a 1.2 GHz, dual-core processor running Android 4.0 on
board, strengthened by a powerful graphics and 3D accelerator and 1 GB of
memory. Its performance is comparable to top-shelf tablets or smart phones. It
includes real-time, limitless-area hand tracking, as well as head tracking
providing both angular position and linear acceleration data.
Natalia includes two high-brightness OLED displays supporting both
1280x1024 as well as 720p resolution. It can be operated with either
hot-swappable batteries or external DC power. WiFi and Bluetooth allow Natalia
to communicate with outside peripherals or other Natalia systems, download content and applications from the Internet, and
more. An on-board SD card provides additional expansion options.
Through the libSensics™
applications programmers interface, developers can take advantage of the
Natalia capabilities to enhance existing applications or create new ones.
Natalia can be used completely standalone or paired with a PC, game
console, tablet, or phone.
Natalia will be offered to consumer electronics and phone manufacturers
as a reference design using SmartGoggles “system on a module”
technology. It also immediately will be available as a development platform to game
developers, and be offered as a commercial product to the professional,
academic, and defense markets. SmartGoggles-based products will be available to
consumers in late 2012.
Sensics will provide private demonstrations of Natalia at the 2012
International Consumer Electronics Show, being held in Las Vegas January 10-13
