and Give Their Booth a Futuristic Feel
Intel and RepairTech booths will include GestureTek's gesture-controlled
interactive displays, immersive media solutions and gesture-enabled PC-based
games.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- GestureTek(R) Inc. -- world
leader and patent-holder in camera-enabled gesture-controlled interfaces for
interactive displays, presentation systems and entertainment systems -- today
announced that two CES exhibitors, Intel and RepairTech, will use GestureTek's
patented, state-of-the-art video gesture control technology at the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) on January 7th to 10th, 2008, in Las Vegas.
"GestureTek technology is a showstopper. Without a doubt, CES visitors
will stop in their tracks when they see that they can control displays,
manipulate special effects, play games and even immerse themselves in a 3-D
virtual world -- simply by moving their hands and body," said Bill Leckonby,
CEO of GestureTek Inc.
At CES booth number 7153, Intel will be featuring GestureTek's
gesture-enabled games on Mobile Internet Devices based on Intel low power
technologies. GestureTek's GestureXtreme(R) virtual world experience
transports a person's image into a computer-generated landscape, with no gear
or equipment required. Players can see themselves onscreen as they maneuver
thrilling adventure simulations or interact with onscreen characters and
objects in real-time. Body motion controls the program, giving users an
unencumbered full-body immersive experience
At CES booth number 8759, GestureTek and design marketing firm Ex Machina
have designed the booth of the future for RepairTech, a warranty service
provider. RepairTech will showcase its offerings using GestureTek's
ScreenXtreme(TM) system with Active X plug-in on a giant 50" plasma screen.
ScreenXtreme is an immersive, interactive digital signage solution that
transforms any digital sign or advertising screen into an immersive,
interactive experience for customers.
ScreenXtreme is a powerful tool for entertainment and brand promotion. It
magically captures a passer-by's real-time image and allows the person to
watch themselves on a screen of any size, as they transform an advertisement's
background, images and special effects. Using a patented, camera-based
technology that tracks the area in the vicinity of a display, Screen Xtreme
lets people manipulate the graphics that surround them on the screen, simply
by moving their hands and body.
Available with over 30 pre-programmed special effects, ScreenXtreme
delivers effects that simulate swimming underwater, juggling objects or wiping
away a hazy mist to clear the view. Active X controls enable any existing
digital signage solution working on the Microsoft Windows Operating System to
run Screen Xtreme immersive interactive software as a sub-window, within the
overall solution.
