LM3LABS is featured in EURObiZ, a magazine from the EU Chamber of Commerce in Japan.

It tells LM3LABS’ story in Japan.

We want to thank all our visitors at Digital Content Expo 2010 last week.

LM3LABS demonstrated 2 solutions out from their technologies:

The Touchless Ironman Experiences

Thousands of visitors could experience the touchless interaction with digital content displayed on a semi-rounded and transparent interface similar to what can be seen in the Iron Man movie. LM3LABS’ AirStrike was tracking fingers, hands and gestures very accurately in mid-air.

The experience was magic.

Interactive Go: hi-precision finger tracking on a piece of wood

LM3LABS’ vision is aimed at hiding technology to make it invisible to users. We wanted to demonstrate the association of digital technology to analog environment and we have selected our finger tracking technology in association to a traditional Japanese Go game (also called Go-ban). A Go-ban is a very beautiful piece of wood made in a single piece. We projected the game from the top, integrating the projector and camera into a (our designer Edern’s) hand-made traditional Japanese lamp.

The technologie is called Movaction and it tracks fingers extremities, hand and gestures very accurately. The tracking is made from top ad it is completely impossible to embed any sensors into the 20cm thick piece of wood.
Players could point at the position they want and “stones” appeared in a magic way.

After a few stones, the game was accidentally broken and Japanese carps were swimming under the Go grid.

LM3LABS’ work had a great media coverage:

Siemens inaugurates their City of the Future showroom in Singapore. LM3LABS provided interactivity to Siemens Center, put in action by Belinda and team.

Siemens Singapore has set up a City of the Future Exhibition and Solutions Centre, a focal point for city management officials from across the world to share best practices and experience Siemens’ suite of innovative technologies for city management and sustainable living.

The new centre, together with Siemens’ Global Centre of Competence for City Management which was set up in Singapore last year, demonstrates the value Siemens sees in Singapore as a “living laboratory” to design, develop and implement innovative solutions for global markets. Rapid global urbanisation has led to the demand of new products and services, and companies such as Siemens are able to leverage Singapore’s city environment, its network of partners from both public and private sectors as well as strong capabilities in IT and urban planning to pursue these opportunities.

On December 17th, Catchyoo started serving the promotion of the World Expo 2010 which will happen in Shanghai, China.

A first Catchyoo Graffiti was deployed in the 300-square-meter hall in Tokyo.

World Expo 2010 will gather most countries from May1st to October 31st, 2010. Shanghai expo’s theme is Better City, Better Life. The Chinese version of the event will be at the dimensions of the country, 10x larger than Japanese Aichi World Expo in 2005.

A few weeks ago TV Asahi, one of the largest TV channel in Japan, featured Catchyoo and Ubiq’window in a program focused on the Future of Advertising.

CNN recently covered AirStrike and the next wave of human-machine interfaces based on touchless technologies.

LM3LABS is a definitive leader in this domain with its stereo vision capabilities applied to museum, showrooms, events and soon on your beloved laptop.
