Abstract
The problem of interaction with large displays in public spaces is currently of interest given the large number of displays available in such spaces (as lobbies, train stations, waiting rooms, etc.) that are only showing information with no possibility to interact with the contents. Several works have been developed in order to allow interaction with these displays using technologies such as infrared, Bluetooth, GPRS, digital compasses or touch screens. Some only intend to provide information, while others emphasize on capturing users’ attention eventually leading them to some action. This paper describes DETI-Interact, a system located in the entrance hall of a University department allowing users to interact with a large display without the need to carry any electronic device since a Kinect is used to capture different user’s gestures. In this work, special attention was given to another issue intrinsically linked to the presentation of information on large public displays ‘How to call the user’s attention?’
