THE TACTIGON

THE TACTIGON

Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin

THE TACTIGON is a brand of NEXT INDUSTRIES srl, a 5 years old Company located 20 km East from Milan – Italy. The Company has the mission to develop IoT sensors, devices and gateways and to be highly innovative.

With its tiny but high potential product line THE TACTIGON, the Company is going to revolutionize user experience with gesture controllers. THE TACTIGON team has produced TACTIGON-SKIN (or T-SKIN), a gesture controller with artificial intellingence algorithms and sensors on board, which solves the not-natural action of the traditional device during interactions with machines.

A mouse typically controls the motion of a pointer in two dimensions in a graphical user interface (GUI). The mouse turns movements of the hand backward and forward, left and right into equivalent electronic signals that in turn are used to move the pointer.

Today the new user interface is very complicated with a lot of windows, dashboard and needs interaction with the object. T-SKIN breaks all this by offering a light, tiny and fashion design device available for everyone, which is not a substitute but instead a complementary part for human machine interface.

It’s the first programmable (with Arduino also) fashion design hand band, the perfect link between Human and Digital Worlds. You can download the APP for T-SKIN directly from our SKETCH ARENA (our store) and it will turn into a man-machine interface, or a robot controller or a drone controller.

It is very easy to use thanks to its ergonomics form factor; T-SKIN has 4 programmable keys for different combination of hand movements and fingers. If you use it with a 3D CAD, for example, you can rotate your left or right hand and the object on the screen will follow your movement.
