technology, while still keeping efficiencies in mind.
We've launched The Cube, a turnkey, 'plug

of gesture control to nearly any space at a fraction of
the cost of a component system and without the need for
technical support. Plus, our full library of over
70 dazzling special effects for audio visual and
animation now comes included with every GestureTek
