iPoint 3D To Show Up Next Week At CeBIT 2009
CeBIT is coming and it’s looking very promising. The show will be held between March 3rd and 8th in Hanover, Germany (that’s in Europe) and like I said, it will be great like always. Here is the iPoint 3D, a device which gives people the possibility to communicate using only simple finger gestures without even touching it. Pretty great, huh? This 3D display is a (Ce)BIT larger than a regular keyboard (although in the picture looks bigger) and it can be hanged down from the ceiling, but you can always integrate it into a simple coffee table.
The iPoint 3D was developed by scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institut, HHI, and it’s a recognition device that features two built-in cameras to detect your hands and fingers in real-time, and then send the info to a computer. I repeat that there is no need for a physical contact or other special markers. iPoint 3D will be useful for video gamers, but it can be used in several domains and areas including in a hospital room.
So we are waiting for CeBIT 2009 to open its doors, and bring you more information about this device!
