GestureTek

GestureTek is a company located in Toronto that develops new and interesting ways of interacting with computers. From mall kiosks to games that allow your image into a 3Dimensional game. Touring GestureTek’s facility was very attention-grabbing as it is far from ordinary. The main showroom features a section of the floor that is used as an interactive experience where the user can play games with each other like air hockey or step onto the floor that while it mimicked a pond and the water would flow and ripple around the area you stepped on. The company featured large monitor images through glass with the use of projectors and modern kiosks that the user could use to select items with there fingers that would act as a mouse click. GestureTek has a lot to offer with interactivity and is an exceptional example of where technology is heading.
