Finalist for Who’s Got Game Innovation Showdown 2014
Nimble does not require you to clean the room, use plain flooring, or shake your hands for a long time in the air to start tracking. Even if someone passes between you and the sensor, Nimble immediately retrieves and re-tracks your fingers automatically. Currently, Nimble is supported on Windows and will soon be compatible with iOS, Android and Linux by the time of shipment.
Key Features and Uses
Nimble has an exceptional mix of features that create an unprecedented and unique gesture control experience.
Nimble allows users to engage in a series of everyday tasks and entertainment, but it also supports all types of presentations and even CAD modeling.
Gaming: Nimble allows you to experience gaming like never before. The highly-sensitive gesture control technology is equipped to make first-person shooter games more realistic than ever. The team at Intugine has adapted Nimble to work with many popular apps, such as Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds to allow you to control the action with the flick of a finger. Nimble is currently developing technology to sync with virtual reality games and headsets like Oculus Rift.
Everyday Tasks: Nimble can easily be integrated into your everyday life. From controlling Netflix with a swipe of your hand, to changing the music or dimming the lights. Nimble can be programmed to connect with an endless number of other gadgets and technologies to make everyday interactions extraordinary. We will provide an application for home automation where your PC will act as a Bluetooth/Wifi hub, and all your smart devices can be paired with your PC.
Presentations: Don’t settle with being tethered to a podium or lugging around bulky remotes. Enable yourself to express your thoughts and points, while still controlling your computer, from anywhere in the room. Nimble can be programmed to control all parts of a presentation. With Nimble, you have the freedom to command the room during presentations.
Computer-aided Design: Nimble is even ideal for professionals and programs that facilitate CAD modeling because of good accuracy, fast response, and a sense of scale. All these features are only possible with a technology using computer vision.

MORE ABOUT THE SOFTWARE
The soul of this device is its software. It has been developed over many years, studying the science of gesture and motion sensing. The software uses a USB sensor to calculate the position of Nimble. The smart algorithms can locate, track and follow many Nimbles simultaneously. Nimble is currently supported by Windows but will support iOS, Android and Linux by the time of its release.
-
Environment Mapping: The environment mapping algorithms eliminate any noise or disturbance from surroundings.
