Infiniti Interactive Mirror - 2006 Detroit Auto Show
I developed a new, large scale sensor system that was used in the Infiniti exhibit at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show (and will continue with the kit for the Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles shows). This system detects a person's hand position in front of a flat surface without any sensors on the sides of the display or behind the user. The mirror concept was developed for The George P. Johnson Company by MDP graduate Nikolai Cornell based on his thesis project. For more information, video, and pictures of the system, see:

Can this system be scaled down? without the need for the large room?

If you mean the space behind the glass, there needs to be some way to project the video onto the glass. We are using very bright Barco R12 12,000 lumen projectors for the video, and these are set up about 10 feet back from the screens.
On the other hand, if large plasma displays were used, then there is no need for the space behind the glass. And the sensor system does not require any space behind the glass. In fact, the sensor system could work on a normal wall or any other surface, or even in mid-air with no surface at all.
