Impress with customised multitouch software

Comprehensive multi-touch software suite: choose the application that's best for your presentation from a variety of options

• 3D globe: Spinning a realistic image of planet earth – in the shape of a high-resolution globe – with your fingers and explore places and locations all over the world is, quite simply, a lot of fun. The integrated local 3D software prevents the unwelcome stutters in the representation everyone’s familiar with from browser applications – spinning the globe and zooming in and out works perfectly smooth.
• 3D multi-player games (e.g. air-hockey, quizzes, jigsaw puzzles, memory): Give your visitors a chance to experience a genuine multi-user software in action. The collective exploration and the intuitive control  appeal to any target group.
• Animated infographics with POIs: No matter what you want to present or elucidate – we design impressive infographics and three-dimensional overviews for your customers to explore in a fun, intuitive way. Points of special interest can be activated from all sides.
• Browser integration: Although in and of themselves, web technologies and multi-touch features are diametrically opposed, sometimes working with browser integration is unavoidable. We have succeeded in reducing its negative effects in terms of responsivity, control, and representation to an absolute possible minimum.
• Business card recognition: The combination of person sensor and facial recognition capability allows the multi-touch table to ask its user in due course to present his or her business card. Once scanned, it is then displayed on the table’s multi-touch surface where it can be shifted around, processed, and linked to other applications. The image and the linked meta information are saved as a lead into the CMS.
• Flyer recognition: Our multi-touch tables equipped with optical facial recognition also feature an intelligent image recognition function. It recognizes all print flyers, leaflets, brochures, postcards, and the like – provided it has previously been trained on them – in a split second, without any markers or codes.
• Gigapixel images: Users can zoom into Ultra HD images in virtually endless depth of detail – the representation always remains in sharp focus. For instance, zoom from an entire mountain range to one single peak, and from there on into the tiny chalet at its top and even down to its individual occupants. Any viewer of this spectacular sight is likely to keep a lasting memory of it.
• Info maps: In our years of practice we have optimized freely rotatable and zoomable info maps in all possible media formats for the use as a standard feature on interactive tables, user-related language settings and intuitive touch-control being just two of many examples.
• Interactive timeline: Recount your company’s history in an interactive and entertaining way or allow a glance into the future by visualizing the landmarks your enterprise plans to reach over the next few years. Behind every bullet point on the timeline hides extra information in different media formats.
• Interfaces and API: If required, we interlink the multi-touch software and CMS with external systems, in order to, for instance, import and export data, send emails, trigger actions etc.
• Media newsroom: You’d like to scan and filter news platforms and social media channels for postings and present and edit your findings on a multi-touch screen? In cooperation with the media monitoring service provider Landau Media, we have developed a truly singular newsroom, the performance of which far surpasses any established standards.
• Multi-touch walls: Our software facilitates smooth representation and interaction on virtually any desired number of screens in every resolution imaginable. Shopping wall or interactive trade show wall – its users are going to be thrilled with the possibilities.
• pdf/PowerPoint viewer: Even though pdf files and PPT slides are basically not well-suited for a presentation that means to impress, in some cases they nevertheless are still necessary. Our multi-touch software automatically converts .pdf and .ppt into high-resolution images which then can be processed or edited via touch gestures.
• Person recognition: In combination with the Garamantis people sensor, the software detects potential users from a distance and then invites them to engage with the device, shows “calls to action” and interacts with them “face to face”.
• Presentation modes: Activate and control pre-defined storytelling features at the table, “sweep” content from one screen to another or control a monitor wall remotely from your tablet PC or smartphone –there’s hardly any mode of presentation we haven’t so far realized.
• Product recognition: Our professional specialization in various different object recognition technologies (e.g. RFID, optical or capacitive sensors) facilitates intuitive interaction between the table and your products. Once the table has been “trained” on an object, it will always recognize it and then autonomously process and explain it.
• Product presentation with 3D models: Introduce your entire product range by means of real-time-capable 3D models. Your customers can zoom into buildings and facilities, rotate heavy machinery, and can even explore areas that in reality are inaccessible.
• Real-time physics-based rendering: Because we work with the powerful Unity 3D software development environment, we have PBR, lighting, animation as well as several camera angles at our disposal for the creation of an interactive digital representation of reality. Amaze your customers with a state-of-the-art software and an intuitive control of interactive content that simply is fun.
• Road maps and other cartographical material: A lot of interactive projects require maps, satellite images, or aerial views of a given area or building complex. Thanks to our long-standing collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), we’ve acquired a great degree of specialization and a lot of expertise in terms of interactive cartographic material.
• User behavior and statistics: For the first time, you have at your hands a tool for the detailed evaluation and analysis of user behavior and users’ utilization of content at your interactive terminal. Let us help you in defining the key performance indicators to quantify your trade fair appearance’s success.
• Virtual Realities (VR): Our direct interface between multi-touch software and VR application opens the way for entirely new possibilities. Invite your visitors to enter and immersively explore your brand world and product range, and in the process control the virtual environment from a multi-touch terminal or multi-touch table in real-time. 

We by no means restrict ourselves to the engineering of multi-touch software but are eager for all kinds of requests concerning new challenges in the field of (multi-)media installations. Amongst these are, in particular:

brain interfaces exhibition control systems robot programming VR environments AR environments interactive projections motion tracking gesture control features

Only our multi-touch software brings a multi-touch table to life. We design holistic interactive experiences for multiple simultaneous users. Present your company and your products in a highly innovative and digital way: you can 'fling' digital content from the table to a monitor wall with a swipe gesture, open entire product universes by simply placing a marker on the tabletop, or activate pre-defined digital stories with a touch or a simple gesture. We design and develop our multi-touch software in a Unity 3D environment, "handcrafted" for your specific application, whether it is a multi-touch table at a trade show or an interactive presentation tool in your showroom. Garamantis software is not limited to use on specific hardware. Of course, we can customise the look and feel of the user interface and animated content to match your corporate design, creating a consistent, harmonious brand experience.

Content updates from a cloud-based CMS

Want to add new products or images, or change existing content? You can easily update your content in minutes via a cloud-based Content Management System. The multi-touch table automatically downloads available updates and stores them on the local SSD hard drive for fast processing. The CMS can handle all standard data formats (.jpeg, .png, .mp3, .mp4, .wmv, .pdf, .ppt) as well as 3D-related data. The role and rights-based CMS gives you complete freedom to adapt and fine-tune your presentation.

Smooth playback at 60 frames per second for an uninterrupted immersive experience

The multi-touch software runs independently of an internet connection and delivers the highest quality graphical effects and animations created in real time by a high performance PC. No matter how many users are interacting with the software at any one time (up to 80 simultaneous touch inputs are possible). The content is always displayed at 60 frames per second. Of course, jerky video or reloading of content, as is often the case with web browsers, is a thing of the past. It's the standard we've set for every professional multi-touch application. Like our hardware, our software is built to run 24/7.

Why it pays to have your multi-touch software made to order

Multi-touch software is the heart of any multi-media installation. It is its ingenuity, individuality and element of surprise for the user that the success of the whole installation depends on. Unfortunately, off-the-shelf software solutions often fall short. If you want to wow people, you have to put ingenuity, ingenuity and a lot of brain power into the development. Only then will you be able to wow an audience - your customers and clients. So stand out from the crowd! We believe that the one-off cost of a bespoke software solution is quickly recouped by a business. Especially when you consider that all our installations are designed to run for several years. The quality hardware we use is built to the highest standards and the cloud-based CMS keeps your content up to date. For example, you can rotate a multi-touch table between trade shows, internal corporate events and your corporate showroom.
