Actis Technologies has unveiled gesture control solutions for corporate India. This is a technology that interprets human gestures via mathematical algorithms into commands and functions. In a nascent stage worldwide, Actis aims to get this technology into Indian boardrooms. It will enable gestures to move slides in a presentation, control a video walls in a Network Operations Center (NOC), operate multiple screens in a security surveillance system, browse through screens at a lobby or digital cafeteria and maneuver screens at a Stock exchange. Actis is employing technologies like Kinect (Microsoft) to provide the solutions and it is in the process of completing some maiden installations.
Abhimanyu Gupta, Director – Actis Technologies, commented, “Gesture controls are expected to eventually replace the touchscreen interface as we know it today. The technology already has its presence in the gaming industry but its commercial possibilities remain untapped. We see potential for the technology in India especially in operations that deal with huge amount of data like software companies, stock exchanges, educational institutes, research laboratories, biotech firms, news & media houses and security companies.”
Gestures can originate from any bodily motion or state but commonly originate from the face or hand. Devices using gesture control do not require hardware inputs like a mouse or a keyboard.
Gupta added, “Our presence in technologies like video conferencing, unified communications, interactive training solutions, security surveillance systems among others give us an edge in providing the gesture control solutions. We have received a tremendous response from our clients where installations are currently underway, making it one of the first implementations of the technology in India.”
