Imageholders, a self-service kiosk manufacturer, introduced its first gesture controlled touchless kiosk in response to the global pandemic, according to a press release.

The kiosk is powered by a hand tracking camera. Users can type, select, scroll and navigate a kiosk display using mid-air gestures and without having to touch the screen. The gesture control technology uses an optical hand tracking module that captures the movement of hands and fingers so they can interact naturally with the on-screen content.

The controller is capable of tracking hands within a 3D interactive zone that extends up to 60cm or more. The software can discern 27 distinct hand elements, including bones and joints, and track them even when they are obscured by other parts of the hands.

A selection of optional devices can be added, including printers, scanners and payment devices.

For entertainment complexes, the kiosk can be used as entertainment itself, in arcades, cinema lobbies or theme parks. It is also ideal for booking or printing cinema tickets, or other leisure activities such as bowling.

Applications also include public kiosks, workplaces, healthcare and education.
