January 8th, 2008Toronto-Based GestureTek Wins NAPTE Mobile++ Top 12 Award
NAPTE is the National Association of Television Program Executives and, as you may have guessed, mobile is the next big frontier for tv and interactive content. And this year, they’ve selected GestureTek Mobile as one of their “hottest properties in mobile content”.
Toronto’s own GestureTek does cool stuff with motion/gesture sensitive application tools for mobiles. It’s good to see a Canadian company getting recognized internationally for mobile innovation.

It’s neat. Some of the initial applications for gesture recognition are still a little simplistic, but on the whole, motion/gesture based interactions offer a lot of potential for getting around the limitations of small keypads and fiddly styluses etc. and providing a more naturalistic way of interacting with a handheld device.
