This interactive touchscreen projected image is a 'living kiosk' that will hang in a shop window and is capable of giving confused consumers advice.

The system features a virtual character that can respond when someone touches the glass of a shop window. Inside the window is a touchscreen foil, developed by Cambridge-based group Visual Planet, with a back-projected image to guide shoppers to what they're looking for.

One suggested application is table-top touchscreen projected images, to be used in meetings and exhibitions.
