Companies that allow you to interact with the console, without the need for a controller<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Kinect<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0Microsoft's new technology, which made it possible to interact with the video game without the need for controllers, was a boom for the video game market and little by little both venture capital and large corporations have seen in this type of technology a great opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, in November 2013\u00a0Apple\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span>acquired\u00a0PrimeSense<\/span><\/a><\/span>the company responsible for the technology that made the Xbox 360 Kinect sensor possible for M 345$.<\/span><\/p>\n

Omek Interactive<\/span><\/a><\/span>a software company founded in 2007 and dedicated to developing gesture recognition technology, has since its founding been awarded 3 financing rounds<\/strong>The last of these was in 2012, a round of $9M. One year later, in July 2013, Omek Interactive was acquired<\/strong> by\u00a0Intel<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0for an amount of M40$.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Intel has acquired several companies in 2013 for a total amount of $266M.\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Leap Motion<\/span><\/a><\/span>The new gesture control device, a tiny device that placed in front of our computer screen is able to capture with enormous precision the movements of our hands, fingers and even objects, has received 3 rounds of funding for a total amount of $44.10M, the last of these rounds was held in January 2013 and involved the founding partners and\u00a0Highland Capital Partners.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Companies that allow entry into virtual reality<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The acquisition of\u00a0Oculus Rift\u00a0<\/span><\/span>by\u00a0facebook\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span>is perhaps one of the most talked-about operations of recent months, and Mark Zuckerberg's company has bought for $2,000M, this device focused on offering a more inverse experience in the world of video games, with a virtual reality system that promises to be one of the ways of development of the sector in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Little by little, companies have been emerging to compete against this big one, one of them is\u00a0Avengant Glyph\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span>Avengant Glyph, a kind of virtual reality viewer\/headset mash-up that promises to blend audio and video into a unique immersive experience. Avengant Glyph was asking for $250,000 in\u00a0Kickstarter<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to make it happen and in just a couple of days they have achieved much more than twice as much.<\/span><\/p>\n
