Übi is an application that is made with the help of a Kinect, which offers a gesture control solution to turn any surface into a 3D multitouch screen.

The purpose of this innovative software is to use a Kinect sensor for Microsoft Windows to project the content on a flat surface. It also allows users to control and interact with the console without physically touching a controller. All of this is made possible by Übi's innovative software.

The sensor can be placed in front of a screen created by front projection or rear projection, thus allowing users to interact with the screen through simple gestures, as if it were a touch screen.

Übi analyzes the images captured by the sensor to detect the position of the user's hand or fingers in the 3D space in front of the screen.

The minimum requirement to use the Übi solution is a projector panel or screen, a Kinect sensor for Windows 8, which must have Übi software installed.
