Hi all
I've got a physical-interaction technology question; I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me with some experience or recommendations....
We're working on a large display of printed images in a window facing a public street, which we would like to make interactive by allowing the public to vote for their favourite image, from outside in the street. We've explored touchscreens (but the window glass is very thick), and we're thinking that an easier way to achieve this might be through something like a Kinect.
The device would need to be able to recognise clear gestures of someone selecting an image (perhaps by touching vinyl stickers placed on the window in front of each image) and then recording the data.
Does anybody have any experience with developing thigs like this, any thoughts about potential pitfalls (dark street, light windows, traffic nearby) and/or development costs?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Danny
