GestureTek Inc. (Sunnyvale, CA), the inventor and pioneer in video-gesture control technology for 2-D and 3-D cameras, and the key patent holder in video-gesture control interfaces, is announcing its 3-D, depth-tracking technology will be used for a gesture-based, interactive, digital-signage display for telecom company Sprint.

Sprint’s 3-D, depth-sensing, interactive display screen, with mobile phone connectivity, will track people’s body movements and respond by sending a Sprint promotional message that follows them whenever they walk in front of the interactive billboard. The interactive motion-detecting advertising message will invite users to create their own personalized interactive wall art on Sprint’s gesture control screen, by calling Sprint on their mobile phone.

GestureTek also announced the granting of a third patent for its 3-D depth tracking and image-visualization technology.

For more than 20 years, GestureTek has been creating 2-D and 3-D tracking technology and evangelizing video-gesture control as the next step in computer human interaction. The company claims more than 4000 public installations worldwide and a library of video-gesture control technologies.
