Touch Me!You have probably used a touch screen more times than you realise. Many public areas now utilise them for their clear displays, ease of use and robust construction. London Underground, for example, have screens in nearly all stations which allow you to buy a ticket, renew your travel card and get a receipt in a number of different languages. We have a range of touch screen displays available for hire whether you need a freestanding kiosk or a robust desktop monitor. We can also help with the content to customise your touch screen display to give maximum impact. Interactive Media Player (IMP)We have developed the IMP as a solution to showcasing music and video to a target audience. The touchscreen acts as a display for a computer which will play music and video and can be set up to offer a number of different options. For example, if you were showcasing a rock band then the welcome screen could carry a brief history of the band alongside different icons which, when pressed, would launch music or video clips. The appearance of these icons can be customised to show the latest album cover or track listing and CD player and volume controls appear as buttons on the touchscreen. The content can be run from the hard drive and will play nearly all formats of audio and video file or if your content is pre release and you are concerned over piracy then the hard drive can be removed from the computer and the content played direct from disc so there is no recordable media in the device. Audio can be provided by speakers or by headphones for a more personal experience.
Finally, the whole system can be built into an exhibition stand or cabinet of your own design. One of our clients, a major record label, uses IMPs for pre release journalist playback sessions of new albums and houses them in touring flightcases. Very rock and roll!
