WE ARE DYNAIKON.
We develop novel techniques able to recognise different lifeforms, characterise their shape, movements, sequential gestures, to the level where they will describe and compute articulated movements in real time.
Expertise
- Artificial Intelligence
- Computer Vision
- Gesture Recognition
- Movement Description
Team
We are international experts based in London, UK.
