Kionix Introduces Gesture DesignerTM for Sophisticated User
Ithaca, New York – Tuesday, April 27, 2010 – Before long, users of handheld
electronics will be able to train their devices to accept their own personal gestures for
feature enablement. Today, at the Globalpress Electronics Summit in Santa Cruz, CA,
Kionix announced Gesture DesignerTM, a software engine that, when embedded into
device hardware, allows individuals to capture, and manage unique signatures for any
number of gestures they wish to generate for motion-enabled functionality in consumer
electronics.

Kionix, a global leader in the design and fabrication of high-performance, siliconmicromachined
MEMS inertial sensors, is currently introducing Gesture DesignerTM to
hardware, software, and application developers as well as device manufacturers.

“Content developers struggle to define a gesture library that can be applied to all
applications and all users; they are eager for tools that will help them understand motion
sensing,” said Eric Eisenhut, Kionix Vice President for Sales and Marketing. “Gesture
DesignerTM provides a user-friendly environment for the creation, evaluation, and
implementation of motion-based gestures for such applications as intuitive user interface
and interactive gaming.”

In essence, Gesture DesignerTM is a library of code from which user-specific, gesturebased
commands can be created and managed. A gesture-based command is a
recording of the data that results from the movement of an accelerometer during a
gesture event. Once authenticated by the onboard recognition engine and subsequently
stored, this unique command can be used to execute an operation.

Tools such as Gesture DesignerTM will allow mobile electronics vendors to enhance their
software development kits with critical capabilities that include greater access to
embedded sensors, the ability to interpret sensor outputs, and, ultimately, the ability to
customize the use of this information for specific applications or end-user characteristics.
