3D Depth Sensing Custom Prototype System
Perceptive 3D Depth Sensing Solutions for Lifelike Virtual Reality Experiences
GestureTek is transforming the way people interact in the digital world. Our patented 3D-vision image control system ranks among the top 3D gestural interfaces to control onscreen interaction in games and other user applications.
Popular in computer gaming, digital signage, physical therapy, factory automation, industrial design and other corporate and military applications, GestureTek's flexible 3D gesture recognition software can work in any environment applicable to nearly any platform and with any compatible device that is enabled with a depth sensing camera.
Our 3D gesture control system repeatedly and reliably tracks full-body movement and subtle gestures in complete 3D space, translating these movements into specific computer commands and events. We create the most lifelike immersive 3D interactive experience imaginable, with no need for a remote or other peripheral device.
GestureTek works with clients to develop custom 3D depth sensing solutions, based on their specific needs and requirements.
New Dimensions in Man Machine Interface
Whether you are a developer or an original equipment manufacturer, integrating GestureTek's 3D image processing middleware into your next generation interactive solutions will enable you to deliver the most advanced interactions possible between the user and the virtual world. GestureTek provides unlimited new user interface options for building and deploying 3D experiences on personal computers, game consoles, mobile devices, digital signs and other interactive computing surfaces.
Our 3D gesture control technology captures depth information surrounding a user's movements with unparalleled accuracy and resolution. Using depth sensing cameras, the patented GestureTek system measures ongoing changes in positioning and distance between the various aspects of the user's image and/or other changes in the scene in order to process authentic 3D images onscreen. Users can literally see their real-time full-body 3D video image as they interact dynamically with computer-generated characters, objects and icons in a three dimensional virtual world. Other exciting options that GestureTek can deliver include 3D avatars and specific hand tracking interfaces.

Unlimited Practical Applications in Countless Sectors
While virtual reality gaming is the most popular application for 3D tracking technology, other exciting applications exist, including:
3D avatar representation, where onscreen avatars respond directly to a user's movements as they provide instructions or deliver information.
Interactive advertising, where users can transport their 3D image right into the heart of an interactive digital sign or advertisement.
Virtual rehabilitation, where patients can watch their 3D image and see progression in range of motion as they move through therapeutic exercises.
Device control, where hand gestures are tracked and translated into common 'point and control' actions.
Immersive social networking, whereby a user's real-time video image or their avatar representation, is transported into a 3D virtual environment. Users can watch themselves as they interact in 3D space with images of other users all over the world.
Gestural platform interfaces, where computers can be controlled by using a combination of hand poses and gestures, including hand waves, finger counting and pointing.
