SoftKinetic was founded in July 2007 providing gesture recognition solutions[buzzword] based on its technology to the interactive digital entertainment, consumer electronics, health & fitness, and serious game industries.

[3] SoftKinetic's gesture recognition software platform, named iisu, can recognize and distinguish or isolate different scenic elements, can identify and track the body parts of a user, and can adapt the user's shape, posture, and movements to an existing physical model, and vice versa.

iisu is compatible with all major real-time range imaging cameras, and the middleware guards developers against the particularities of the hardware.

Based on Current Assisted Photonic Demodulation (CAPD), the company's patented CMOS pixel technology, DepthSense hardware products range from sensors to consumer and professional 3D cameras.

[9] SoftKinetic Studios has collaborated on numerous gesture recognition-based projects for various platforms such as PC, consoles, set-top boxes, arcade, and interactive digital signage; with companies such as Orange Vallée and Fuel Industries.
