GestureTek™ is the pioneer, patent-holder and world-leader in camera-enabled gesture-recognition technology for presentation and entertainment systems.  Back in 1986, we invented and shaped the field of ‘applied computer vision’ for computer-human interaction.  

The company’s multi-patented video gesture control technology (VGC) lets users control multi-media content, access information, manipulate special effects, even immerse themselves in an interactive 3D virtual world – simply by moving their hands or body.  We deliver Wii-like gesture-control without the need to wear, hold or touch anything.  View our [Company Fact Sheet].

In the past 20 years, GestureTek has installed approximately 4,000 interactive multi-media displays, kiosks, exhibits, digital signs and advertisements, virtual gaming systems and other interactive surface computing solutions, many with multi-touch interactivity. 

Our technology is used in museums, science centers, amusement parks, trade shows, retail locations, bars & nightclubs, real estate presentation centers, corporate showrooms, boardrooms, digital signage networks and other public spaces such as airports and stadiums.  We’re also revolutionizing television production, game development, advertising, virtual videoconferencing, and even the healthcare sector, by applying our technology in unique and innovative ways.  GestureTek was originally known as JesterTek and Vivid Group.
