[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 5344K Seeing Machines Limited 18 July 2011 \n\n18 July 2011\nSEEING MACHINES (the \"Company\")\n \nfaceAPI Underpins New Toshiba Glasses-Free 3D Laptop\n \nSeeing Machines Limited (AIM:SEE), a leading developer of face, eye and facial feature tracking systems for the consumer electronics, scientific and driver safety markets, announces the arrival of Toshiba's new Qosmio F750, the world's first 3D laptop that requires no special glasses for watching movies or playing games in 3D. Seeing Machines will receive a royalty for each unit sold. \n \nSeeing Machines' faceAPI is a key technological component underpinning the glasses-free 3D capability, allowing the laptop's built-in webcam to track the viewer's eye position. Initial reviewers write that the tracking is accurate and quick to respond, and Engadget bloggers wrote that videos they watched on the F750 \"were pretty mouth-watering\".\n \nKen Kroeger, CEO of Seeing Machines commented: \"First revealed at this year's CES, this is only the beginning of a new era in Glasses-free 3D. We have worked closely with SuperD, a world leader in display technology and glasses-free 3D, to bring this new technology to fruition and in March we announced the contract between the companies. The faceAPI/SuperD solution is being looked at closely by global players in the portable and tablet device market who are interested in this glasses-free liberating capability. SuperD selected faceAPI as it is uniquely able to provide face tracking with the required accuracy and reliability, using a standard camera, and without being overly demanding of the computer's processor. We believe this launch is the first of many and will provide strong impetus for growth of the faceAPI business particularly in the consumer electronics market.\"\n \nEnquiries:\n\n\n\n\nSeeing Machines Limited\n\n\nKen Kroeger, CEO\n\n\n+61 (2) 6103 4700\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Stewart & Company plc \n\n\nOliver Rigby \n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7776 6550\n\n\n\n\nWalbrook PR Ltd\n \n\n\n\nBob Huxford\nPaul Cornelius\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7933 8780\n+44 (0) 7747 635908 [email protected] \n+44 (0) 7866 384 707 [email protected] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n--- Information for Editors ---\nAbout S...
