Gesture-based interaction screen makes debut - iPhone seen running off crying

Visitors to London’s Carnaby Street will find a new attraction - one they can themselves play with and control. Behind a pane of glass is a large screen which you can command not by touch, but by waving your hand in front of it.

The screen was developed by UK based agency ‘The Alternative’ to serve as advertising for Orange. Right now users of the screen can wave their hands in the air to read news, watch movie clips, and listen to music.

The screen is the first of its kind, employing a large projection screen and a highly advanced piece of motion capture technology. Goodbye iPod and iPhone - your days of making us click and press are just about over. Soon, my friends, we will be able to control you by waving our hands in the air like maniacs.
