Some early Ubiq’window interface works with SGI Japan.

An illustration of what will be common as public interactive signage in a few years: city shops browsing, satellite-rendered city map navigation, web browsing, dynamic newspaper reading, education and discovery. Updated in real time, anywhere, for anyone who can use his hands.

Just like for web with technologies, people will want to "grab" what they are interested in and screens will have to be… Ubiquitous. Here we are. Some kind of Ubiquitous window.

Ubiquity of dynamic signage means offering people in the street the opportunity to grab all the information they need from a single interface and to find this same content on all interfaces.

Now, we agree that this interface could be a mobile phone screen. Let’s rephrase this last sentence, it will ALSO the mobile phone screen, and public interactive signage, and mobile phone, and interactive digital signage,… Do you get it? Both!

Because there is a famous law for this: the Gabor Law. And it says that "Everything that is possible will be done, always".

Now, there are limited chances that interactive plasma screens are deployed everywhere despite some experiences. The only solution is a street-proof solution which resists the rain, the sun, vandalism, 1000s of people per day. This solution is called Ubiq’window.

Nippon Paper taps Catchyoo for Eco promotion

February 19th, 2007 | Posted in Catchyoo’s Installations  | No Comments »

NipponpaperJapanese paper industry giant Nippon Paper uses Catchyoo as a promotion tool for their eco-oriented program "Green Proportion".

The event is current at Tokyo International Forum (the most beautiful building in Tokyo, but this is only LM3’s appreciation here). Tokyo International Forum has been built by famous architect Rafael Vinoly.

Nippon Paper uses a Catchyoo 4×3 meters screen to engage their guests.

Because of Catchyoo amazing effect on visitors, messages are easier to pass.

So should we say that Catchyoo breaks mind’s frontiers to prepare our contemporaries to a greener 21st Century? At least we work at it.

Ubiq’window and Heineken

February 15th, 2007 | Posted in Ubiqwindow's Installations | No Comments »

Ubiq’window recently used by Heineken.
Heineken is a good client of LM3LABS’ product as they deployed Catchyoo in Taiwan late last year.

Ubiq’window is a great interactive digital signage for brand promotion as it engages users in a unique personal experience with no equivalent: a large screen, touchless, interactive, very responsive.

Basically this is the "thing you cannot miss" in an event and whatever one can plan an event this is what is wanted by event planners.

Catchyoo v1.8, now in Japanese

February 13th, 2007 | Posted in Catchyoo | No Comments »

Japanese18_1
Catchyoo v1.8 is launched today. This version comes in Japanese and
English.

The localization in Japanese is an
important step to provide Catchyoo partners with a tool which can be used by
multiple staff who do not necesseraly know English. It also answers a strong
demand from customers to manage their own systems without LM3 or partner’s
assistance.  And this what Catchyoo is all about: Giving  back to tool to  customers!

 

The Japanese version also
significantly lower the learning costs as all manuals and support documentations
are now in Japanese.

Catchyoo v1.8 includes the new "tap
the mole FX", the support of Quicktime movies for new FX, a streamlined engine
for even faster use.

 

Other localized versions will follow
shortly to better address the needs of local partners in their daily activities
(Chinese, Russian, Korean…).
