Screenmedia Expo Scala standInteractivity will be the major theme of digital signage software supplier Scala’s large presence at Screenmedia Expo in London next week.

Among the promised highlights are demonstrations of screen connectivity with devices such as smartphones and iPads using QR codes, and of Scala’s Fling technology, which allows tablet users to share content on other screens.

The firm will also demonstrate integration of its platform with Twitter, and for users of retail digital signage it will show how on-screen information can be  triggered by a consumer’s handling of a product in-store.

The use of mobile devices for control of larger screens will be further demonstrated on the Christie stand, where a video wall built from 35 MicroTiles will run on Scala software, while another Scala partner, U-Touch, will also be showing a 93-inch interactive video wall with multitouch capability.

Digital signage innovation: “Natural user experience” seen as future of touch PDF Print Write e-mail

Elo TouchSystems interactive touchscreenForget the GUI, make way for the NUI – the natural user experience that will allow much more instinctive ways to interact with digital out-of-home media than today’s graphical user interfaces.

That’s the theory expounded by Tim Huckaby, founder and chairman of InterKnowlogy and Actus Interactive Software, who will present on the theme at Screenmedia Expo in London this month.

“A reinvigorated focus on user experience with usable and enticing software has created even greater opportunities for the creation of awesome interactive screens and active digital signage solutions,” says Huckaby.

“When you couple that with the advent of multitouch-capable hardware at consumer prices and the high-level software APIs to leverage multitouch capabilities, we have the start of the new age of software focused on the natural user experience, because we can get cutting-edge systems to market more quickly and inexpensively.”
