SingTel Experience Centre is a technology showcase using “Minority Report” style-like body gestures to manipulate and interact with multimedia images (3 cities for now: Paris, Shanghai & Rio de Janeiro) on a giant 14m, 180° circular screen.

The center is open for the public and is located inside **SingTel Shop at ComCentre** (31 Exeter Road Singapore 239732), the opening hours are from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 9 pm and on Sunday or Public Holiday, it is open from 11 am to 8 pm.

It uses 10 Kinect sensors with each Kinect sensor attached to its own computer. These 10 Kinect sensors then send sensor information to a gesture server for processing. After processing, this information is sent to the imaging server which is connected to 6 giant overhead projectors, and that gives the user a uniform experience.

As far as I can tell, they are using Microsoft Photosynth and Microsoft Silverlight Deep Zoom technology to power it.

Each city is stitched together from 1000+ photos forming a 20 Gigapixel photo.
