Interactive e-billboard combined with guide system: Using Kinect

In this study, an interactive electronic guide system is proposed and designed by combining the important information of social media extracted from the websites. The proposed system allows companies to improve product promotion, as well as enhances consumer efficiency in understanding how well the products are. We develop an interactive interface to assist the subjects to control the guide system based on the Kinect somatosensory camera, which can lead to high visibility and better quality of guide. In addition, the proposed back-end system can determine the requirements of consumers and set the appropriate strategies after the analysis of guide information. Experimental results indicate that the proposed system has the advantages of interacting with users through a somatosensory detection device, showing the information users need with a dynamic website, recording users' operations and generating a chart with cross-platform database after the analysis. The results are also recommended that it is suitable to be applied in these fields, such as product displays and educational training in business organizations, service situations and policy advocacy in government agencies, exchange rate information and stock market in banking and finance, and etc.
