Leading 3D gesture recognition software provider Softkinetic has hired former 3DVIA VP Virgile Delporte to lead its sales and marketing efforts.

The company said today that Delporte would be responsible for driving its branding and communications strategies, as well as expanding sales and new business opportunities.
