LibGMS Gesture And Motion Signal Format | GMS | Data Files |
The .GMS file extension is commonly associated with a Gesture and Motion Signal. This type of file format is usually used by gesture and motion recognition software, such as the TrueGesture applications developed by EyeSight Technologies.
G MS files store digital representation of the various types of physical movements and gestures that a human body is capable of producing. Depending on the program in use, this data can comprise of movements related to hand and arm motions, head position, eye movements, and other bodily movements. The data collected through the gesture and motion input can then be used for a variety of purpose, such as interactive gaming, sign language translation, or biometrics identification.
Technical Details and Similar File Extensions
In technical terms, the GMS file format generally utilizes a serialized structured binary file structure. It consists of a header with encapsulating information, followed by one or more series of records which are embedded within the main body of the file. Other extensions that are similar to the .GMS include .GFS, .GMV, .GMF, .GMC, and VGS.
Compatible Software Programs
The primary program used to open and edit GMS files is the proprietary software bundle known as TrueGesture developed by EyeSight Technologies. These applications leverage complex video processing algorithms to provide motion tracking and environmental awareness capabilities for interactive gaming platforms. Some game development engines, such as Unity 3D, also anecdotally support GMS files.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .GMS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .GMS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .GMS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .GMS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .GMS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .GMS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .GMS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .GMS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .GMS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .GMS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
