What a fantastic news we received this morning!

Next Industries applied to EIC Phase 1 on April 2021 with our Project Tactigon SKIN and it passed!

The gesture- and motion-controlled wearable technology is the next step in the evolution of human-computer interaction and has the potential to free users from tedious interface methods like mouse and touchscreens with natural user interfaces (e.g., gestures). Next Industries is going beyond the state-of-the-art by introducing the first programmable, AI driven universal wearable-gesture and voice controller: the Tactigon SKIN. A wireless, ergonomically designed wearable (placed on the palm of the hand) controller. Tactigon SKIN enables, for the first time, fast and precise AI-driven voice and gesture recognition in any desired environment (thanks to wireless connectivity) and condition (no specific lab or camera driven set needed). Helping 3D modelling professionals to sketch and design ideas more precisely and time-effectively. But the applicability of Tactigon SKIN is not limited to 3D-modelling and is well suited for other markets such as industrial automation, healthcare and robotics. Some minimal viable versions have been piloted at 50 companies including the robotic manufacturing (Comau, Velleman) and 3D Design (Wacom). Overall, Tactigon SKIN is a user-friendly and ergonomically designed device making it easy to operate for any desired application. 

Tactigon SKIN is new because it enhances accuracy and usability in any setting. The device is patented and has a unique design, allowing hands-free and natural finger movements. It is especially suitable for complex designing it is equipped with voice control and AI, new features if compared to competitors.

There is no better due to increased demand for smart devices to improve the man-machine interface: for industrial applications in particular, the demand for innovation is led by the need for time-efficient process, to work smoothly even if remotely and to cut down costs in production development. 

Now you can find Tactigon SKIN in its Reload version on our dedicated crowdfunding page on Indiegogo that is 158% funded at the moment.

Special thanks to Massimiliano Bellino and Nadia Giuliani from Next industries, and to Mohammad Tabibi and Viviana Mucci from Catalyze that strongly have believed in this first success. Now, focused with this new energy, we're ready to get through Phase 2 !

Milan, Italy, May 2021

The crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo is proceeding successfully for Tactigon SKIN Reload controller, that is now 147% funded and has reached its goal in less than 3 days.

Zuken, international software producer and consulting provider of software for design of electrical and electronic systems, has chosen to sustain our crowdfunding through a Co-Branded moq of Tactigon Skin Reload.

Tactigon SKIN Reload is not only a wearable mouse, it's also a controller and can be used as touchpad: 3 functions in 1 product.

This triple functionality was particularly appreciated by Francesco De Cet, Head of Business Europe Zuken, whose aim is to get Zuken staff get a direct experience of the potentiality of the IoT that can be part of our everyday business.

Yes, because Tactigon SKIN Reload can be used also in B2B environments.

Other Companies are contacting us to get their co-branded batch, and this is possible also for you, just talk to us thourgh our campaign page to get info and moq!

[Milan, Italy], [March 2021] – The countdown has started! On March 23, open doors for Tactigon SKIN Reload and its crowfunding campaign on Indiegogo .

What make this “reload version” so special? It’s a wearable mouse able to make you control pc, robot arms, power point presentations through the two most natural human elements of daily use: the voice and the gestures. They can become interface tools between man and machine because the human action tunes into commands for the machine through natural movements of the hand/arm/fingers and vocal language ( MEDIAKIT: download ).

“The ability to control device with gestures and voice has a broad range of application in IoT and beyond. Natural User Interface is new way for interaction with digital world” – THIS IS OUR VISION

Why Reload? Because Tactigon is a family of products existing since 2017.

Leaving Tactigon ONE apart for a moment, the first Tactigon SKIN was introduced in 2018, as gesture receiver for different kind of applications: robotics, gaming, VR/AR, pc, PPT, drone controller. Many Companies in Europe have accepted to support our project; Comau/FCA (Italy - Robotics), Orange and Nokia (France – Drone Control), Velleman for Makers (Belgium - Robotics), University of Kaiserslautern (Germany – Robotics), Politecnico University of Milan (Italy - 3D modelling), NTT Data.

Thanks to these use cases, we could understand what was important to improve, and here it comes the version Reload: thinner, lighter, to be worn on your hand, with patented design, with addition of voice control feature to the already existing Artificial Intelligence algorithm.

If compared to competitors, Tactigon SKIN Reload has all the features that other competitors do not have or have only partially:

• It is scalable for different applications (3D mouse, robotics, PC controller, video games controller, VR/AR application controller)

• It can recognize complex gestures (combination of n° 2 Tactigon SKIN on the 2 hands)
• It learns to recognize user gestures better and better thanks to artificial intelligence algorithm

Thanks to all this features your activity can really experience a workflow boost, as Tactigon SKIN Reload through its functions is a TIME-SAVING device, also for Industry 4.0 applications: if a robot/cobot is connected, it can learn how to act through the movements and this avoids the continuous re-program procedure every time the robot/cobot is moved, for example. 

Our crowdfunding campaign for Tactigon SKIN Reload opens on March 23! You can support our project here
