GSI Demo
GSI Demo allows you to map existing single user applications to a multi user speech and gesture enabled tabletop by demonstration. Creating a mapping is as simple as saying "Computer, when I do [one finger gesture] you do [left mouse drag]" or "Computer, when I say layer bars you do [keyboard and mouse macro]". GSI Demo also provides facilities for rapidly prototyping true multi user speech and gesture applications from the ground up.
GSI Demo has several limitations: it does not support hand posture movements, it requires a Smart Board or a Diamond Touch table on a PC running Windows XP. For programmers, GSI Demo is implemented as a .NET package.
Please note that GSI Demo is a early prototype system that is provided 'as is'. While we would be happy to receive feedback, there are no resources to provide support and/or extensions to the existing system.
