We create applications that combine interactive table projections with touch screens, offering dynamic and responsive experiences. Projections react to user navigation, enhancing engagement and making complex content more accessible. This blend of immersive visuals and touch interaction is both intuitive and fun, creating memorable and engaging experiences for all users.
United in Diversity
An interactive 3D map with video stories to discover
The European Union consists of 27 states – all „united in diversity“, as its credo says. We developed an interactive large projection table with a 3D map, allowing visitors to explore the stories in all parts of Europe. The EU is investing and improving our lives in various sectors and areas of our everyday life: With this media-driven interactive map installation, visitors can take a virtual trip through the EU and discover highlights projects thouought Europe.
Projection and screens combined
We combine projection on a large 3D map and touch screens: Visitors can navigate on this large 3D map using one of the five touch stations. We made sure the app works as multi-user solution, giving all visitors the chance to explore Europe and its highlight stories in parallel.
CMS connection
The large „united in diversity“ table offers an also large pool of content to discover: Video stories produced by us for over 90 locations, including subtitles in 24 languages. We hold all content in our central database. Our CMS allows managing content, adding stories, or even new hotspots. With our nightly sync, we keep all installations of the „united in diversity“ exhibit up-to-date in all locations.
Local Table
Explore how Europe is investing and improving our lives on a regional level
Europe is investing in an all parts of our continent, in numerous local projects and regions. Our interactive installation „Local Table“ brings this local perspective of Europe into light: Visitors can zoom into Europe and discover on local levels how European-funded projects are improving life of citizens in all EU regions. We used a large database provided by the European Parliament Research Service and created a complex 3D map system – all connected to a large table projection that reacts on the inputs of the visitors using the table in parallel.
Data connection to EPRS
We made use of a data pool provided by the European Parliament Research Service: Over 1200 success stories and EU project descriptions, in multiple languages. Our data engineers imported the files and converted them into a slick database that serves our application.
Screen only optional
Our app works also without table projection. For small exhibitions, this app can be installed on touch screens only. Our flexible data architecture made sure that all content is available also in this small-scale solution.
Triangle Table
Visualizing the team play of EP, Commission, and Council
The collaboration between large institutions may seem abstract and complex – so we created an interactive station for the EU centres presenting this team play in a projected animation. Our digital table projection show how the three EU institutions work together, and allows visitors to simulate different scenarios on the projected triangle table.
Light strokes guiding visitors
Our interactive table invites up to three visitors to participate in the simulation. Light strokes are animated on the table between the three institutions and explain how the cooparetion between the institutions are implemented.
Projection and touch screens combined
Visitors learn about the collaborative process between EU Parliament, Commission and Council. They can influence the table animation by using one of the three touch screens: Selecting a topic will launch the corresponding animation on the screen and table. Here, we made sure the table projection and the touch screen visuals work together and create one large visual surface.
