Catchyoo iTable has been deployed by Teikoku Data Bank who presents a very interesting exhibition about the longer lasting Japanese companies.

Japan is the country with the more numerous century+ companies in the world.

There are 20.000 century old companies in Japan, 2.000 of them were created before the Meiji Era (starting 1868).

The oldest Japanese company has been founded in AD 578 and is still in business (Carpenter company).

The curator modestly tells that this is due to respect of traditions and permanent innovation and this is why he is happy with this interactive table as the central point of the exhibition, presenting those respectable brands.

We would add that respect of client, respect of employees and permanent search for quality are the other key factors.

AirStrike and its precise free-air interactivity is particularly well adapted to applications like
: 3D visualization, holograms (like in this example), interactivity with huge screens, or “can’t touch” screens (water falls, smoke, mist, pulsed air…).

LM3LABS collaborated again with Le Louvre and DNP for their 4th exhibition in Tokyo.

This exhibition is about “The city of Susa and its ceramics in the first centuries of Islam” and is open since April 5th.

LM3LABS’ interactive technology is used to engage visitors in a new type of discovery.

The details of the interactivity installation are presented here.

The exhibition is open until September 27th, 2008.

National Archives of Malaysia deploy  ubiq’window AirStrike, the free air version of ubiq’window at Abdul Rahman Memorial Centre (the founder of today’s Malaysia).

ubiq’window is the only high-precision technology in the world to provide a 100% free air, touchless interactivity.

Ubiq’window lets integrators create interactive zones associated to real-life, non-digital objects.
At National Archives of Malaysia, 3 "real-world" books are associated to 3  different contents.  Then visitors can turn pages of the projected screen, naturally, at distance, by pointing in the air.

This interactivity requires no training for people who instinctively know how to use the installation.

This installation is the perfect illustration of computer vision-based interactivity applied to  museums. The project was conducted by Alternative Advertisement.

A semi-transparent character was added to the actual installation picture to illustrate the way visitors  interact with the installation.

A very typical ubiq’window integration for a real estate agency in Belgium by ubiq’window partner Digidyn.

People can easily browse property listings from the street, thru the glass.

There is no necessary equipment on the glass. Stickers are made interactive by creating invisible interactive zone which triggers content on the application.

The show window arrangement can be adapted in minutes by simply pointing at the 4 corners of the stickers.

This kind of installation is vandal-proof and requires no maintenance. Installation is made easy by the use of a monitor inside the shop. It requires no video-projector and screen.

Ubiq’window offers a large range of applications associating digital contents to real life situations.

Photosynth is a promising project from Microsoft associating web 2.0 contents, an amazing visualization interface and a geo-positioning module.

To make it short it matches thousands of pictures taken from many people and strored on Flickr to recreate a 3D view of a place.

The project is still tagged as a "lab" project by Microsoft.

This kind of next generation interface takes all its value when it is navigated with a next generation interaction technology like Ubiq’window. Ubiq’window’s interactive screen technology lets users manipulate the content with their hands and get rid of traditional human-machine interfaces like mice and keyboard.

This opens opportunities for "barrier-free" interaction with dynamic signage content (advertising), cultural exhibition (museums) and retail environments.
