Touchless sensing applications have been around for a while but the companies were unable to leverage this technology due to various reasons such as the sensor size, power requirements, and cost of the products. One of these technologies introduced in the market; i.e. touchless sanitary ware helped in maintaining high levels of hygiene. The washrooms equipped with such equipment are called as “intelligent washrooms”. The need for this equipment is a trigger from the customers’ need as well as the companies trying to differentiate themselves from the others in the same market.

The demand for touchless biometrics is on the rise owing to the accuracy on the part of the system. The contact-less biometric solutions are more hygienic as compared to the touch-based biometric systems. The touch-less sensing market is expected to reach $7.9billion by the end of 2018 at a CAGR of 26.4%. The key players in the touch-less sanitary equipment market are iTouchless (U.S.), simplehuman LLC (U.S.). The key players in touchless biometric solutions include TST Biometrics (Germany), Touchless Biometric Systems (Germany), and IrisGuard (Switzerland).

The gesture recognition market is expected to reach $7.15 billion in 2018 from $322.30 million in 2012 at a CAGR of 50.77% from 2013 to 2018.

Gesture recognition is an emerging technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way humans interact with machines; not only in gaming and automotive applications but also in day-to-day activities on the home front. Standalone devices like LeapMotion, MYO, and others will spread the awareness of this new revolutionary human machine interaction technology. In applications, consumer electronics will gain popularity first, and then slowly automotive, automation, healthcare and others will embrace gesture recognition.
