End of June, EDB, Singapore’s Economic Development Bureau, presented at World Cities Summit 2010.

The 2,000 square feet booth was designed by former Red Dot Design Awards judge Chris Lee. Inside it embedded LM3LABS’ interactive technologies like AirStrike. The result is a state-of-the-art interactive experience.

CNET Asia’s Nicholas Aaron Kho covered the event with an article.

LM3LABS and partners are thrilled to introduce the Tokyo Interactive Center (TinC), Tokyo’s first community dedicated to interaction and user experience (UX).

We hear more and more about “interactivity”, “touch” or “experience” from many different areas, from researchers at universities, large and small technology companies, advertising agencies, creators and artists and of course end-users, thanks in no small part to the success of the iPhone and other “multi-touch” appliances.

But all these different audiences never got the chance to meet and exchange their views on interactivity. Until now. The TinC is the first place where all interested parties can meet and work together.

For LM3LABS and other founding partners, interactivity is not (only) futuristic touch-screens as in the movie Minority Report. Interactivity is already available today in many form factors and there is much more than just “touch” to provide a unique user experience. The goal of the TinC is to showcase what is possible today, and to imagine the future applications of interactivity. TinC’s founding partners are looking forward to a productive discussion between architects, artists, researchers, universities, technologists and more.

In the coming weeks, we will give more details on what we have in store for the Center. There is a lot coming in 2010, so watch this space!

A few years after serving Black Eyes Peas, Catchyoo Reloaded is featured by Japanese band Remioromen’s clip, a band who ranks #2 in 2010 Japanese charts (their album was #1 in 2009).

We illustrate a simple solution to deploy for events and exhibitions.

AirStrike sensor is seamlessly installed inside the booth itself and only a narrow cleft allows the “eye contact” between the stereo vision cameras and the pointing fingers.

This installation lets visitors interact with a distant screen by simply pointing in the air toward the screen.
Exhibitors can use larger, higher quality screens which will be more visible to crowds, and will remain unharmed from them.
Despite the “invisible technology”, the touchless interaction is highly attractive by itself.

AirStrike’s precision allows virtually any type of content from picture browsing to hyperlink clicks, from web sites to 3D object handling.

This configuration is so easy to deploy that it can also fit museums, digital signage or retail shops.

Insurance giant Aviva made noise in Singapore with their “Create the future you want.” campaign based on ubiq’window 200.

The monumental Out-of-Home campaign lets visitors design their ideal life which is displayed in real time on the front of Vivo City building.

Cameras inside the touchless kiosks also record users real-time thru the interactive surface.

Hong Kong jewelery shop, WCJ, has deployed an innovative interactive mirror on which people can browse contents or check how they look with WCJ products.

Free-air finger tracking AirStrike is seamlessly integrated into the ceiling and customers interact by pointing at the mirror, in the air, at distance.

AirStrike tracks their hand motions. A great example of interactive architecture deployed by local partner Tech Vision.

Siemens inaugurates their City of the Future showroom in Singapore. LM3LABS provided interactivity to Siemens Center, put in action by Belinda and team.

Siemens Singapore has set up a City of the Future Exhibition and Solutions Centre, a focal point for city management officials from across the world to share best practices and experience Siemens’ suite of innovative technologies for city management and sustainable living.

The new centre, together with Siemens’ Global Centre of Competence for City Management which was set up in Singapore last year, demonstrates the value Siemens sees in Singapore as a “living laboratory” to design, develop and implement innovative solutions for global markets. Rapid global urbanisation has led to the demand of new products and services, and companies such as Siemens are able to leverage Singapore’s city environment, its network of partners from both public and private sectors as well as strong capabilities in IT and urban planning to pursue these opportunities.

Vending machines are poised to evolve and enter into the digital era. This is a project for a large cigarette company. This is a touchless, yet tactile cigarette vending machine for clubs.

It mixes digital interactivity on holographic media to tactilised real objects. Clients select their cigarettes by touching the real cigarette box thru the glass window. They can also interact with the holographic image at the center, play games, get news and services.

Payment is made with RFID payment card called Felica IC Card embedded in Japanese mobile phones.

Based on computer vision system ubiq’window, the machine is flexible and can be adapted in a few seconds to new brands and contents.

Please enjoy HD with full-screen mode.

After the Detroit Motorshow, Japanese tire manufacturer Bridgestone, deployed ubiq’window in Geneva Motorshow 2009. The product will be used in the next 2009 motorshows around the globe with various integration designs.

When touchless interactivity of ubiq’window meets augmented reality it makes next gen kiosk.

ubiq’window brings interactivity to the full width of the kiosk: take a brochure and it will trigger the right augmented reality application. Printed materials, stickers and shapes are invisible interactive zones triggering other contents. The plasma screen is fully interactive as covered by ubiq’window optical sensors.
