– A word from the technical department
This isn’t the sort of news that you read about every day.
“GestureTek announces the launch of its GestPoint Maestro3D Software Development Kit (SDK), and licenses, providing patented cutting-edge 3D-video gesture control system that uses 3D depth cameras to track people and their gestures in free space, giving them touch-free control. See Maestro3D for use in Public Digital Displays and Signage in GestureTek’s booth ( # 5483 ) at Infocomm 2011; Orlando June 15-17th.” (Sys-con Media, 31 May 2011).
Here at Aeris we like to keep in touch with digital signage’s latest and greatest technologies. When I read this article I thought it might be worth adding my two cents worth.
GestureTek essentially have a very cool technology not that unlike of Nintendo Wii the gaming console. They are able to track people, their movements and most interestingly (for digital signage) their gestures. (so no rude ones OK ?!)
Imaging walking up to a digital sign and waving you hand in front of it to get to the next page.. pretty neat idea and I’m sure the hygienists will love it.
Is this the next big thing?
