Andrea Colaco has won the MIT entrepreneurship competition for her touch free technology. The prize is $100 K cash. Ms. Colaco, a Ph. D. from MIT, has developed a real time, millimeter precise 3 D innovation that should make phone companies running after her. Her innovation was chosen based on its precision and value for money.
‘What is the next interface for cellphone devices? It is gesture recognition. Every cellphone-device manufacturer is scrambling to bring gesture-recognition into their devices. This is an immediate and unaddressed market… Now with the prize money, 3dim will go full steam. We will develop the technology for customers-smart-device manufacturers-who have already expressed interest in the product… The need for power-hungry, specialized hardware has kept such technology from mobile devices-problem that has now been rectified… (My) prototype only demands a few milliwatts of additional power from the phone-about one-seventh of the amount used by a standard smartphone camera’, said Ms. Colaco.
