German Premiere: Become a magician
G+B pronova GmbH and Atracsys LLC present the new HoloPro™ beMerlin system at Exponatec.
Gesture recognition permits a whole new kind of communication between man and machine. Controlling computers by pointing one's finger at a glass screen was presented as a vision of the future in Hollywood movies many years ago, but then, special gloves were still required. The revolutionary Atracsys beMerlin technology goes a step further: direct interaction with a multimedia application without electronic aids or visible markers. The hand alone is used for controlling.
