What AMERIA does

AMERIA AG is a Heidelberg-based European deep-tech company that develops touchfree gesture control technology for human-machine interaction, replacing physical screen contact with camera-based hand tracking and recognition algorithms. Its portfolio spans hardware products (Airframe for LED walls and large screens, Compact Promoter for small spaces, Touchfree Screens in 28–65 inch formats, and Custom Solutions for automotive, transit, cleanroom, and industrial integrations) and a software stack (CX Composer no-code authoring, CX Manager for content/device orchestration, CX Smartdata for real-time interaction analytics with CRM and BI integrations). The company has extended this foundation into two flagship products: STARKIT SRD, co-developed with Sony and launched at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, which combines AMERIA's gesture control with Sony's Spatial Reality Display for glasses-free 3D interaction, and MAVERICKAI, positioned as the first true AI device on a laptop platform with local AI, an integrated AI Agent, spatial display, and touchfree control.

AMERIA generates revenue through a mix of one-time hardware sales (Compact Promoter from €9,990, with Touchfree Screens and professional installation priced on request), perpetual and subscription software licensing for the CX platform, and recurring subscriptions (STARKIT SRD at €150/month after the first year, Airframe rental from €50/month). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, a network of system integrators and channel partners, and recurring presence at flagship AV and retail trade shows (ISE, EuroCIS, InfoComm, Seamless, GITEX Global). The customer base spans automotive (Porsche, Volkswagen), banking and insurance (Deutsche Bank, Allianz), enterprise software (SAP), consumer goods (Henkel, Bayer, Lego), retail (Douglas, Müller), telecommunications (Telefónica), industrial manufacturing (Röchling), and sports (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim). The company is active across Europe and the Middle East, holds multiple patent families protecting its gesture technology, maintains Intel Gold Partner status, and has been recognized with a Best Retail Cases first-place award and as a Digital Hero in Baden-Württemberg. AMERIA is privately held, has raised approximately $20.5M cumulatively through 2021 crowdinvesting rounds led by Wunderkind Invest, and continues to operate an active Investor Relations function.

• Microsoft: Microsoft's Surface Hub, Kinect, Azure Kinect, and Teams Rooms platforms offer large-format interactive displays with touch and presence sensing, competing for the same enterprise meeting room and retail kiosk budgets as AMERIA.
• Sony: Sony is both a core strategic partner (Spatial Reality Display, STARKIT SRD) and a broader ProAV incumbent whose display hardware and signage platforms compete with AMERIA-enabled installations in retail and enterprise.
• Google (Project Soli / Nest Hub): Google's Project Soli radar-based gesture sensing and Nest Hub smart displays represent a broader incumbent approach to touchless and ambient UI that competes for AMERIA's target interactive display deployments.

Direct peers

• PointGrab: PointGrab develops gesture recognition software for smart buildings and consumer electronics, enabling touchless control of displays and IoT devices — directly comparable to AMERIA's touchfree gesture control offerings.
• Ultraleap: Ultraleap (combining Leap Motion and Ultrahaptics) is the closest direct competitor, providing camera-based hand tracking and mid-air gesture control for displays, kiosks, automotive, and XR — the same touchless HMI category AMERIA targets.
• EyeSight Technologies: EyeSight Technologies specializes in embedded computer vision and gesture recognition for automotive, smart home, and IoT, competing directly with AMERIA in touchless human-machine interaction.

Emerging players

• Oblong Industries: Oblong Industries' Mezzanine and g-speak spatial operating environments pioneered multi-user gesture-based control of collaborative displays — a comparable interaction paradigm to AMERIA's touchfree enterprise displays.
• Elliptic Labs: Elliptic Labs provides AI-based gesture, proximity, and presence sensing for smartphones, PCs, and IoT — overlapping with AMERIA's gesture-based interaction vision, especially for consumer devices and laptops like MAVERICKAI.
