A company founded by a pair of Simon Fraser University alumni has been chosen to fast-track the deployment of its product–a gesture recognition wristband, the next frontier in human-machine interactions–under the mentorship of Techstars, one of North America’s biggest startup accelerators.
SFU alumni Lukas-Karim Merhi and Gautam Sadarangani, engineering science grads, co-lead BioInteractive Technologies (BIT) together with Jose Fernandez, an industry veteran based in the Silicon Valley. The company is based at SFU’s Surrey campus as an incubator client of Coast Capital Savings Venture Connection.
The company’s product, TENZRTM, is a wearable wristband that provides a seamless and intuitive platform for gesture-recognition, possessing abilities similar to those featured in the futuristic 2002 film, Minority Report.
