VentureBeat: Reactrix shutters — but interactive ads are still coming to a floor near you

    You forgot to mention EyeClick (www.eyeclick.com), one of the pioneers in interactive displays with many global installations in malls, retail and entertainment venues

    Catchyoo 'dwarfs' reactrix? That company is a fraud.

    That surprised me too, but I think it was just a (somewhat clumsy) reference to the physical size of the displays.

    As far as I can tell, no viable company yet exists (or has appeared) that has both the technology that really draws users and the ability to maintain and keep a network alive. Reactrix had both, but not the "viable" part. GestureTek doesn't really have either quality (but they're viable!) 3DV and EyeClick are hard to take too seriously, given their age and progress, but I could be wrong.

    To clarify, GestureTek is the inventor, 20-year pioneer, world leader and multiple patent holder in video gesture control technology, with more than 4,000 installations worldwide. Catchyoo, EyeClick and others are newer and smaller players in this field. As well, you inaccurately stated that Reactrix licensed GestureTek's technology, when in fact it was our patents that Reactrix (and other companies) have needed to license in order to do business using this type of technology.......I do agree that the market for this type of technology has a very bright future.

    The problem with Reactrix was the CEO Mike Ribero. He spent money on first class plane tickets, Four Seasons hotels and limos like he was one of those greedy Wall Street bankers. Plus he had no vision or strategy and that is why GestureTek, etc. are still in business and Reactrix is not.

    I could not agree more with this post, under the direction of Ribero, any company would be doomed from the start including Reactrix. Ribero is the cause of Reactrix's failures.

    Could someone elaborate on the Catchyoo negative comment? I am about to engage them for a major convention project I am leading and any advise on what to look out for would be appreciated.
