Edge AI Display Interaction: Low-Latency Contactless Gestures
Edge AI display interaction processes computer vision calculations locally on the Kiosk Manager hardware. This eliminates cloud processing latency, ensures stable under 18ms response speeds, and guarantees absolute user privacy.
Technical Deep-Dive
Sending video streams to the cloud introduces latency and raises privacy issues. Processing gesture tracking at the edge means coordinates are calculated locally. This ensures low-latency response speeds (under 18ms) that are critical for realistic cursor control. It also keeps all video frames local, protecting privacy and complying with security regulations.
- • Skeletal joint coordinates: 21 nodes
- • Depth sensor FOV: Up to 150 degrees
- • Cursor latency bounds: < 18ms
- • Signal mapping: USB HID device

Frequently Asked Questions
What hardware is included?
Our kit includes a compact edge computer pre-configured to run our tracking engine.
Does the system generate heat?
Our edge computers use low-draw processors with active cooling, keeping them safe inside kiosk housings.
Does the system work offline?
Yes. The Kiosk Manager computer can run local HTML files, PDFs, or cached media templates without internet access.
