Vision
"To transform the way people interact with the digital world."
Mission
"Delivering the best multi-platform gesture recognition hardware and software solution for the consumer electronics and professional markets."
SoftKinetic has now reformed following a merger between SoftKinetic & Optrima. SoftKinetic was founded in July 2007 following five years of R&D by an expert team of mathematicians, 3D imaging specialists, software engineers & game enthusiasts, with the objective of revolutionizing the way people interact with digital content and interfaces.
Anticipating the commercial availability of affordable 3D depth-sensing cameras, SoftKinetic is today the leading provider of a 3D middleware platform that lets content & video game developers, arcade & fitness equipment manufacturers and serious games experts develop their next generation interactive solutions.
Since 2007, SoftKinetic has enjoyed significant success as a business, growing steadily and building an impressive client list. With sales that have continued to increase year on year, SoftKinetic is truly an entrepreneurial success story.
