Company
Zigfu
Layer above Kinect.
We are building an easy-to-use plugin that turns the Kinect sensor into a platform for making and playing interactive apps. You download our plugin, hook up your Kinect, and start using it to build games and experiences without deep technical skills. Our product simplifies Kinect app creation and interaction so more people can engage with augmented reality gestures and controls.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company would remain based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we live and work. It's the right place for us to connect with developers, early users, and potential investors. Staying local helps us move quickly and stay in touch with the tech community that will build on top of our platform.
