Canesta

Canesta, Inc. has developed a revolutionary, low-cost electronic perception technology that enables everyday devices to “see.” Now, ordinary electronic devices such as videogame consoles gain the ability to understand and react to objects and individuals in their nearby surroundings in real time at extremely low cost, without the need for gloves or special handheld controllers. The company has achieved this innovation by reducing three-dimensional (“3D”) image sensing -- a core enabling capability -- to a single, low-cost chip which can be manufactured using a standard CMOS process. Canesta primarily focuses on two complementary markets: consumer electronics market for near-term rapid revenue growth and the automotive market for long-term stable profitability. Future opportunities exist in security, robotics, and other industries; the possibilities are endless. The Company is headquartered in Silicon Valley within walking distance from CalTrain.
