TLDR: Daegu-based venture company Famity has been honored with two CES 2026 Innovation Awards in the Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health categories. Their flagship product, ‘FIRA Pose,’ utilizes mmWave radar and AI for non-contact 3D posture and behavior recognition, offering advanced safety monitoring and analysis for industrial and medical sectors.
Daegu, South Korea – Famity, a pioneering venture company based in Daegu, has achieved significant global recognition by winning two prestigious CES 2026 Innovation Awards. The awards were granted in the highly competitive Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Health categories, underscoring the company’s innovative strides in 3D Spatial AI technology.
Famity’s award-winning solution, ‘FIRA Pose,’ is a groundbreaking system that seamlessly integrates mmWave radar with advanced AI-based 3D posture and behavior recognition technology. This innovative approach allows for the precise, non-contact recognition and analysis of human movements and biometric information within a three-dimensional space. The technology is poised to revolutionize real-time safety monitoring and behavior analysis across diverse fields, including demanding industrial environments and critical medical settings, by overcoming the inherent limitations of conventional 2D video-based systems.
The technological prowess of ‘FIRA Pose’ was first publicly demonstrated at the ‘Future Innovation Technology Expo (FIX2025)’ held at Daegu EXCO last October. The demonstration garnered considerable interest, with notable attendees such as Yeong-Woo Heo, President of Kyungpook National University, and former National Assembly member Seok-Jun Hong, who observed the technology’s potential for commercialization.
Famity has also demonstrated remarkable self-sufficiency in hardware development. The company has achieved hardware independence by designing and manufacturing the core components of ‘FIRA Pose,’ specifically the mmWave radar board dubbed ‘FIRA_RF_PRO,’ directly at its headquarters in Daegu. This board features a sophisticated data bus structure that directly links with the AI engine, built upon high-speed signal processing circuits and a multi-antenna array. This design significantly enhances both processing speed and overall system stability.
