Jungo, a provider of artificial intelligence software, is launching MagiaTouch, an AI software stack enabling a touch-free, interface for embedded devices and PC applications. It uses a camera to understand natural human gestures instead of a touchscreen, keyboard or mouse.

The built-in camera (or add-on) analyzes faces, eyes, hands, gestures and voice, and enables control of devices and kiosks by using natural human interaction, without touching screens, according to a press release.

In addition, MagiaTouch enables implementing touch-free control without any code changes to the underlying application, allowing fast time-to-market, with no engineering expenses.

"MagiaTouch enables next generation human-machine interface, for kiosks, cashiers, factory equipment, PCs and other devices, using a camera only and without any touch control," Ophir Herbst, CEO of Jungo, said in the release. "This 'minority-report' like HMI control is not only COVID-19 friendly, but also enables natural human interaction, and with no code changes needed in the applications."
