GestureTek earns additional patent for video camera control technology. Multi-camera gesture control protected under newly issued patent.

GestureTek Inc., a world renowned inventor and pioneer of gesture based control technology, was sought out by the famous San Francisco based de Young Museum to create a high-tech “Minority Report”-like experience for their new facility which opened on October 15, 2005.

GestureTek Inc., working in conjunction with the well known design and architectural firm, Propp & Guerin, designed a space that creates an illusory atmosphere using four floor to ceiling clear glass panels that incorporate the new illuminate control technology and a projected interactive image. By simply using their hand, visitors either motion in front of or touch the glass to interact with the presentation which instantly and magically reacts to the gestures. This experience is created by the system’s projector and tracking camera which, hidden from the public eye, allows for a seemingly technology free environment. This technology offers museum visitors a futuristic approach to information and has been recognized as one of the most comprehensive high tech presentations in the world.

The magic of the Illuminate Display is the apparently invisible technology. The only visible element is the floating projected image created by a very thin projection film applied directly onto the glass panel. Projectors can be hidden in the ceiling or at a distance; the tracking camera, positioned directly on top of the projector, uses GestureTek’s advanced patented tracking technology to detect the position of the user’s hand on the Illuminate Display. The experience for the user is one of a floating projection that they are able to control with gestures.

Sheila Pressley, the de Young's director of education, demonstrated the display to CNET News.com by dragging the tip of her finger across the corner of a book displayed on the screen in order to "turn" its virtual pages. "We wanted something beautiful," Pressley said.

“GestureTek has been called on by museums, science centers, and Fortune 500 companies for our state-of-the-art technology, as it bring a sense of awe and magic to their public presentations”, said the President of GestureTek Inc. Vincent John Vincent. “The Illuminate Displays take interactive projection to another level because of a seemingly technology free floating interactive environment”.
