With the release of affordable gesture-tracking hardware and the launch on the market of cheaper large displays making it possible to install them in various locations, it is now interesting to create an interactive system to be installed in public spaces to allow users to interact with relevant information. This dissertation continues such a system project developed at Department of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics of University of Aveiro. The objective is to further improve and develop a system that allows the creation of additional content and its configuration through a website. Although the final application might be configured for different context, we developed this work in collaboration with F´abrica Centro Ciˆencia Viva de Aveiro to perform two pilot studies, evaluating the designed solution and the acceptance of the new created applications. This dissertation presents the results of this work hoping to contribute to the use of gesture interaction with public displays.
