GestureTek Interactive Rehabilitation Exercise System Featured on ‘The Doctors’
|
Media CoverageAMAZING ADVENTURESSolving murders, creating magic and flying are among the exciting experiences available thanks to interactives. As both technology and ideas progress, Kath Hudson reviews what’s new this season company: GestureTek A revolutionary project using 3D technology to allow users to fly across British Columbia, viewing the scenery and its attractions, was unveiled at the Beijing Olympics. The purpose of the British Columbia Experience (BCE) was to stimulate tourism and investment in the Canadian province ahead of it hosting the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. It needed to be powerful enough to stop visitors in their tracks in the middle of all the Olympic excitement, and the technology had to be advanced enough to still be relevant in 2010. Led by California-based animation and visual effects company Xpletive, with GestureTek supplying the depth sensing technology, the BCE uses an unprecedented number of technologies in video gesture control, electronic depth perception, immersion and modern aviation. Basic hand gestures like tilting the hand or making a fist are used to make the flying experience easy. "The effect is a mindblowing immersive experience rivalling anything found in themed entertainment," says Patti Jordan, GestureTek's director of marketing and communications. "Almost every child has put their hand out of a car window and flowin' it through the wind and this was our inspiration." |
