TABULA has been invited and hosted at Polytouch stand a the ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) trade show in Amsterdam.
We showcased TouchTop software running on a 32 inches Polytouch unit: great experience and customer feedback.

Polytouch units are the first solid, feature-packed, embedded systems to feature a 3M projected capacity screen: they are a great hardware for multi-touch projects.

Many thanks to Pyramid’s people, especially to Jörg and Friéder for their kind hospitality!

Multi-touch document management for the Italian Public Administration

tabulaadmin — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 14:12:09 +0000

TABULA solutions have been used in a shared project for the Italian Public Administration.

Giunta Regionale della Lombardia (Lombardia is the region of Italy which drives the whole country economy) is focusing on eliminating paper, creating a digital-only workflow.
One of the important steps has been developing a special tool for the governor and councilors: a gesture-based document management environment to manage the deliberation documents.

TABULA designed and developed the solution using the existing multi-touch document management engine, and customizing the interface with simple yet powerful tools for the digital annotation of documents.

Interactive Tabloid reviews for Mediaset Mattino5

tabulaadmin — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 14:22:12 +0000

From the beginning of march 2010, an interactive table running TABULA software has been featured in Mattino5 show on Mediaset’s Canale5.
Federica Panicucci is the conductor who strongly believed this technology would be a plus for the show.

TV shows are increasingly adopting interactive technology, nonetheless studio technicians are sometimes reluctant to “depend” on it. Broadcasters need robustness, and special hardware to wire in their infrastructure, things that are now possible with SDI versions of TABULA multi-touch interactive environment.

21minutes: Live interactive sketching and mapping

tabulaadmin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:27:07 +0000

November 19-21 2009, 21 excellent speakers in front of a thousand people highligthed passages of their lives, trying to convey the essence of their research towards excellence.
The event, called 21 minutes, is an open project that will continue and develop during the years.

TABULA has been asked to produce an interactive sketching experience using multitouch technology, that would help the speakers and the chairman Patrizio Paoletti to draw knowledge structures during the seminar. A multitouch table running the software was there, right side of the stage, and Pierpaolo Vittoria (a trained mind mapper) used the sketching application.

There was no precise plot, most of the speakers improvised or changed their mind just before the presentations, video output was sent to the main screen.. a real live experience.
We are very satisfied with the whole event, since the contents were so high and inspiring, the audience became involved very soon with questions and a lot of social interaction during the breaks.

A lot of people came to see the technology, the “multitouch” was not much mentioned or noticed, instead the “creative, brainstorming, dynamic, shareable” modality was considered something new and unseen, and generated many ideas and connections.
Also Gilead Sher, an important Israeli negotiator and one of the first guests, appreciated the philosophy behind the application and played a lot with it.

In-Store projection mapping for Terranova

tabulaadmin — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:53:05 +0000

TABULA has been working closely with Teddy italian fashion company in the context of the recent Terranova brand restyling.
The designers decided to create a new retail experience based on digital projection and interactive surfaces. The focus is always on the product, so all the “cosmetic” elements should have an orientating goal towards the merchandise, this is the rule in the retail space.

TABULA realized for them a project using multiple digital projections with custom image warping on volumes, using two FaçadeSignage systems both at the entrance (keywords: stunning, catchy, inviting) and at the very end of the shop (keywords: element of continuity, ambiance).
The interactive projection is using a TouchMyBrand system where the movements of the sales person behind the counter have a “fragmenting” effect on the digital projection behind her. So, users experience interactivity not on themselves, but on some other human being.
The whole experience is well balanced, and the goal of the place is maintained.
As always the motto is: “follow the rules of nature”.
