Illuminate Surfaces and Multi-Touch Technologies

• Illuminate Display™
• Illuminate Kiosk™
• Illuminate Multi-Touch™ Table

GestureTek’s Illuminate gesture-controlled displays, kiosks, multi-touch tables and other interactive surfaces deliver Minority Report style computing control. Illuminate tracking technology can support both ‘point to click’ and multi-touch interactivity. ‘Point to click’ interactivity allows one person to point or wave their finger in front of a surface in order to interact with multi-media content. Multi-touch interactivity allows one or several people, using one or both hands, to manipulate data in unique ways by touching, rotating and dragging their hand along the interactive surface.

The captivating Illuminate system uses patented camera-enabled hand tracking technology that projects a thin curtain of infrared light along a surface and uses a single camera to obtain tracking data. When a finger or hand is illuminated by the infrared light, the camera detects it and determines its position on the computing surface.

Technology is completely hidden from view with the Illuminate surface system, making it ideal for public spaces where equipment damage and abuse is a concern. Its high-tech design and functionality make it the perfect choice for leading-edge organizations looking to reinforce a sophisticated, high-end brand personality.
