ZKOO is the first gesture tracking camera based on Hi-Speed Vision, which leverages images taken at much higher frame rate than standard video. As it perfectly reproduces multi-touch UI, it works with a broad range of host devices, including PC, Tablet, Set Top Box, OTT Box, Game Console and Smart TV. Since it does not require game to be modified, out of the box, you can gesture-play hundreds of existing games and apps.
