Milan, Italy, May 13, 2021

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], [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

or through our referral program here

We're always working to improve your user experience with our 3D wearable mouse ! 
Tactigon SKIN Reload is in prelaunch page on Indiegogo !!

This is THE RELOAD version, with gesture and voice control, look at the main features:

• Wearable (on the hand)

• Tunes gestures and voice into commands

• Time saving device – workflow boost

• Patented Design

• Free/natural fingers movements

• Control for 3D CAD Software and Presentation

• Scalable to Robotic, Computer,  Games controller and more

TACTIGON SKIN: NEW GENERATION WEARABLE MOUSE

Use it like mouse, presenter or touchpad: your gestures and voice become commands for PC, Robots and more

Tactigon SKIN Reload is a wearable mouse that you can use both for work and for play. It’s not only a mouse, it’s something that goes beyond the idea of a mouse, towards a more natural and more easy interaction between man and machine.

Tactigon SKIN is going to change the way you interface.

Tactigon SKIN in fact solves the not-natural action of the traditional device during interactions with machines. For example, a mouse typically controls the motion of a pointer in two dimensions  (not natural) in a graphical user interface (GUI). Tactigon SKIN breaks all this by offering the possibility to work directly in a 3D environment (through gestures) and use voice to take control of PC and interact with presentations, for example (very natural).  If you pair the Tactigon Skin with a second device, you can create complex gestures that the Artificial Intelligence algorithm can recognize.

Tactigon is a product line since 2017, starting with Tactigon ONE, IoT motion sensor, then Tactigon Skin in 2018 (version 1) as a gesture controller and now also Tactigon T-GR (read Tiger) motion software, able to recognize 16 gestures with high accuracy.

As we ventured into the 2.0 of the design, we have had the support of Comau/FCA, Orange, Velleman for Makers, and the Universities of Kaiserslautern, Germany and Milan, Italy.

The main features of Tactigon SKIN Reload:

• Wearable (on the hand)

• Tunes gestures and voice into commands

• Time saving device – workflow boost

• Patented Design

• Free/natural fingers movements

• Control for 3D CAD Software and Presentation

• Scalable to Robotic, Computer,  Games controller and more 

Imagine what you can control, and what one day you might be able to control with this device!
