Company upgrades its industry leading technology for interactive projection and visual display systems TORONTO, July 15
TORONTO, July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- GestureTek Inc., inventor and world
leader in gesture-driven interfaces for presentation and entertainment
systems, today launched an enhanced version of the company's GestureFX library
of multimedia special effects applications for interactive display systems.
GestureFX is a stunning interactive projection and visual display system
for advertising and entertainment in public and corporate spaces. Using
advanced camera technology and multi-patented body tracking software, the
system intelligently responds to body movement in order to project dynamic
interactive multimedia content, interactive advertising or games onto any
surface of any size -- including tables, floors, bars, counters, windows,
screens and freestanding panels.
The newest software release, GestureFX 1.5, delivers over 70 engaging
non-branded applications & special effects that can be used right out of the
box. The system can be installed by GestureTek's team or self-installed by
the client. Included with the system is a comprehensive manual with over 50
examples of applications and instructions on how to create them. These
instructions allow clients to develop, change or adapt their own multimedia
content. A console play list interface is also included, enabling clients to
easily choose applications and change their sequence and duration with the
click of a mouse. Active X capabilities also let GestureFX run as a sub
window within other multimedia and digital signage solutions.
While the GestureFX graphic engine has always supported the addition of 3D
and Flash applications, the Flash Software Development Kit (SDK) has been
reduced in price with the release of GestureFX 1.5. The new release also
offers an additional SDK module for complete real-time game engine
development, enabling complex animation, interaction and scoring.
Additionally, GestureFX now comes with built-in Edge Blending for multiple
projector set-ups, eliminating the need for extra costly hardware. When
configured for use on a vertical screen surface, GestureFX 1.5 comes with 24
hour lens/iris support, to optimize performance in changing lighting
conditions and on more challenging surfaces such as store windows.
"GestureTek has the most advanced solution in the market for
gesture-controlled displays, signage and interactive surfaces, with thousands
of client systems in operation around the world," said Vincent John Vincent,
President and Co-Founder of GestureTek Inc. "The release of GestureFX 1.5
puts us even further ahead of the pack in the quality and usability of our
interactive systems and special effects applications."
