What is "ailive"

AiLive Inc. (formerly iKuni) is a software company based in Mountain View, California. The company was founded in 2000 by software programmer and developer Wei Yen. The company has worked closely with Nintendo on the development of motion-sensing hardware, tools and software for the Wii video game console.

AiLive is responsible for the LiveMove series of products. The system was introduced in 2006, using machine learning technology to facilitate the development of motion recognition packages for individual games. Developers are able to use the software to build classifiers from provided examples of specific motions to be included in each game. The LiveMove system is used for development of games for the Wii. Though initially released for professional developers of Wii games, the software was designed for use by independent developers as well, with a goal of expanding the possibilities of the new console and Wii Remote interface. For the year 2011, AiLive's technology was used in 5 out of the top 11 best selling Wii games, with the Wii Sports Resort, Just Dance 2 and Just Dance 3 titles reaching #1 bestselling status over all platforms.
