1. A touch-sensitive display device, comprising:
- a touchscreen having a front and a back and capable of detecting a user'"'"'s touch;
one or more infrared lights configured to illuminate a user'"'"'s finger placed in front of the touchscreen;
an infrared camera positioned behind the touchscreen and configured to capture infrared images of a user'"'"'s finger through the touchscreen; and
a gesture processing module configured to determine a user'"'"'s touch on the touchscreen and track the position of the user'"'"'s finger, wherein the gesture processing module determines a user'"'"'s gesture from the determined touch and position tracking.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for a touch sensitive display device providing infrared gesture capture and recognition are described. A display device with a detachable front panel is capable of interactive touch sensing and infrared gesture capture and processing. An infrared light source and infrared camera can be configured to capture images of complex multi-touch gestures made on the detachable front panel of the device. The detachable front panel may be removed from the display device for cleaning and ease of use.
