Imageholders has unveiled its first gesture controlled touchless kiosk in response to the global pandemic, according to a press release.
The touchless self-service kiosk is powered by a hand tracking camera. Users can type, select, scroll and navigate a kiosk display using mid-air gestures without having to touch the screen. The non-touch approach reduces the risk of spreading germs and bacteria build up at a self-service kiosk.
The 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 60 centimeters 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.
