Gesture-based interface at international art fair

At Artissima, the international fair of contemporary art in Torino, visitors were able to use simple hand and arm gestures to browse a visual catalogue of recent art work exhibited at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, an important museum in the city.

The technology was based on sophisticated gesture recognition, with the end-result for the visitor being a radically simple content navigation system in which images are projected on a large screen, and interaction is performed via nothing else but a flat luminous surface.

The interfaces is based on the smartRetina™ technology, which provides the designer with a programmable “eye”, allowing him to easily design new experiences and interactions which do not require a tangible interface.
