Integrating Pointing Gesture Detection for Enhancing Brainstorming Meetings Using Kinect and PixelSense

Microsoft PixelSense is able to detect multitouch input and tagged objects as well, which makes it suitable to be used in net-based brainstorming sessions within small teams. However, any gestures above the table cannot be detected, which makes net-based brainstorming sessions less intuitive. Thus, we present a solution how Kinect can be used together with PixelSense to overcome this limitation without interference between the two devices.
