MILPITAS, CA, Sep 05, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) – Creative Technology Ltd today announced that the new Creative Senz interactive gesture camera will be available for online order from Creative.com and Amazon.com in the United States from September 25, 2013 at US$199.99. This innovative new camera will be showcased at IFA 2013 in Berlin at the Creative Exhibit 110 in Hall 3.2 and the Intel Exhibit 101 in Hall 2.2, Messe Berlin from September 6 - 11.
Unveiled in June 2013 at the Computex Show in Taipei, the Creative Senz3D is designed for use with 2nd generation and later Intel Core processors and introduces an immersive multi-dimensional gaming, video conferencing and voice control experience for PC enthusiasts and early adopters.
To deliver a new level of multi-dimensional interactive experience, the Creative Senz3D combines advanced depth sensor technology with a camera and dual array microphones. Its key capabilities include close-range depth tracking specifically for PCs (6 inches to 3 feet), finger-tracking, static hand poses, moving hand gestures, facial detection/analysis, voice recognition, and augmented reality. Multi-modal interactions are realized through the combination of the above usages.

"We're really excited about the endless possibilities that the Creative Senz3D will open up for the PC world. This highly innovative camera, through its depth-sensing and audio capabilities, users are able to interact in a natural, intuitive and immersive way with their voice, hands, fingers and face, to control games, surf the internet or even interact with social media by using gestures and voice commands," said Low Long Chye, General Manager for Audio and Video at Creative....
