They have deep expertise in AI/ML, embedded software, signal processing, and sensor fusion technologies for enabling sophisticated UI/UX with products.
The founders believe people communicate with their voice and work with their hands. Hence technologies that can enable human voice-like or hands-like interaction with devices will go a long way towards enhancing consumer experience with products in diverse sectors.
Their previous venture was a pioneer of embedded AI-based voice recognition and was the first company to offer natural language understanding on ordinary processors. Their current venture is a pioneer of embedded AI-based gesture recognition and is addressing major industry issues such as recognition accuracy, computational footprint, and data collection.
