Interactive Attraction for Beijing Olympics Powered by GestureTek's 3D Tracking Technology
GestureTek's latest innovation in 3D hand tracking technology, the B.C. Explorer interactive display, will also be highlighted at GestureTek's IAAPA booth. The B.C. Explorer is an interactive exhibit with 3D depth sensing capability, providing an authentic experience, simulating flying, that visitors can control through hand gestures. The B.C. Explorer, led by next- generation technology innovator Xpletive and powered by GestureTek's hand tracking software, was used at the Beijing Olympic Games to promote the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C. People experience the thrill of flying over the province of B.C. and exploring points of interest, with no need to use a touch screen, remote control or any other peripheral device. The user's hand motion controls the flight simulation experience.
"Other exciting applications coming from GestureTek's 3D tracking technology include full-body 3D avatar representation and control, and immersive experiences where users see their real-time video images as they interact in a 3D virtual world," said Vincent.
