In addition, GestureTek is also working with toy manufacturers, smart phone manufacturers and video game manufacturers in an effort to help them build upon the functionality of gesture technology for new videogame applications.
Video gesture interface technology uses cameras to capture people’s images, enabling video games to be controlled using gestures alone. The player’s image and body movements are then translated to on screen interactions, allowing the player to participate in virtual reality scenarios.
Video Gesture Control has been implemented by GestureTek in public demonstrations such as interactive advertising displays, entertainment applications for the disabled, rehabilitation applications for those rebounding from physical injuries and educational toys for kids.
GestureTek CEO Bill Leckonby commented: GestureTek is working with multiple OEM partners to embed our gesture technology in a variety of applications within the videogames and toy industries, and we are stepping up our efforts with OEMs in the consumer electronics world to change the way consumers use their PCs, cell phones and other mobile computing devices.
