Abstract :
DETI-Interact is an interactive system that offers information relevant to students in the lobby of the University of Aveiro´s Department of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics (DETI). The project started in 2009 with a master´s thesis addressing interaction with public displays through Android smartphones. Since then, it has evolved considerably; it currently allows gesture interaction based on a Kinect sensor. Meanwhile, it has involved third-year students, master´s students, and undergraduate students participating in a research initiation program.
