New York City, looking to better its Citysearch over the Web, re-launched its NYCgo with better offerings of an extensive search that includes events, restaurants, hotels, and more. The website is hooked up with Google Maps which makes it all the more easier for tourists to find their way around the city.
The site shall also carry promotions and discounts with the coming time and events. The effort has been made by the city’s administration in collaboration with Google.
To clarify, GestureTek Inc. built the multi-touch tables that deliver the multi-touch interactive experience at the New York City Visitors Center, including the finger tracking and object recognition software. Interactive leaders Videosonic managed the project. As the pioneer, multiple-patent holder and world leader in camera-enabled gesture control technology, GestureTek’s multi-touch systems are in use around the globe. NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center uses the technology for collaborative games, certain T-Mobile stores in Germany use it for product marketing and Telefonica uses it on a multi-touch window for corporate branding.
