Hitachi Design Centre Europe has recently presented to public Dokodemo, an innovative interactive display that reacts to gesture movements just as seen in Minority Report.
Dokodemo was presented among other advanced projects developed by Hitachi's Design Centre during an event called Experience the Next that saw the participation of Francesco Morace, president of Future Concept Lab and Peter Hohmann, design manager of HDCE.

During the event the public had the chance to experience the gestual navigation of Dokodemo interactive display and were also able to upload and download pictures taken during the event via the Bluetooth enhanced display. The system was presented in two formats: the vertical version featuring ultrasound sensors and the horizontal advanced version equipped with digital video cameras and infrared LEDs.
