LM3LABS launch a series of innovative multimedia content distribution kiosks based on free-air interactivity AirStrike and touchless Ubiq’window.

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.

JCDecaux, one of the world’s leading outdoor advertising companies, started deploying interactive abribus (bus stop shelters in Sweden) based on ubiq’window.

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.

The product is to be deployed on hundreds of location in the US over the next months.

IMG and LM3LABS will jointly present at Interactive Display Show in SanFrancisco, Califormia, in late April. We will be pleased to meet US clients and partners at this occasion.

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.

Despite the buzz about multi-touch, this technology evolution is not a challenge and it should have grown earlier if legacy OS editors, as well as input device manufacturers, had got more vision.

Now, we cannot really blame them, multi-touch makes sense with multi-media content only. And we are just at the dawn of the multi-media era.

The real frontier in today’s interactivity is touchless interactivity. It is the real challenge as it requires a perfect control of changing environment, precision optoelectronics, 3D algorithms.

We re-worked the presentation about Ubiq’window, today’s only real mass production tool for touchless interactivity.
