iPoint Explorer - Contact-free, intuitive multimedia system for public spaces

iPoint developed by Fraunhofer HHI is an interactive gesture recognition system ideal for public spaces e.g. central train stations, shopping centres or airports, but can also be used for interactive product presentations. It enables users to explore interactive media content by just pointing at a large screen from a distance. iPoint main feature is its novel and easy to learn, contact-free gesture interaction interface. The system can be applied to any multimedia content such as interactive maps and floor plans in shopping centres, photorealistic 3D models, videos or any other form of multimedia content. * Contact-free interaction: no input devices needed * Ambient intelligence: e.g. recognition of interested users * Easy to use: no computer experience needed * Vandalism proof and Hygienic: no direct user-system contact * Supports any form of interactive multimedia content

Fields of Application * The iPoint technology is particularly suitable for usage scenarios where no contact between the user and the system is possible or intended. Furthermore the iPoint Explorer allows an intuitive interaction, especially with big screens. * iPoint users are able to see the whole picture and to interact with the system at the same time, which is a huge advantage comparing to large touch screens.

Formula D Interactive uses the iPoint technology for its innovative multi-media applications in shopping centres, museums, science centres, airports, train stations or sport facilities, such as soccer stadiums.
