Gesture Interaction for Window Displays

Orange, the phone company, is exploring and developing a nice new niche market for gesture recognition: The Interactive Shop Window. Could it be one of the killer apps for gesture recognition? I think it is possible. The advantages are quite clear. As a unique selling point gesture recognition offers the possibility to interact through existing windows, simply because a camera can see through them. I do not think any other interaction technique can do that. Voice recognition doesn't travel through windows. Touchscreens need to physically available, as any other haptic device (mouse, keyboard, etc.). Review by Gizmodo Made by The Alternative Update Feb 3: Reviewed by the Dutch Marketing Facts
