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:
