Interactive Table for Displaying Information at In-Person Events
The interactive table is an innovation designed to offer an engaging and interactive way to present information to the audience during in-person events. Combining the physical world with the digital, this product provides a unique and memorable experience for participants.
Physical Features:
The table features a sleek and functional design, with approximate dimensions of 1.4m x 0.7m x 1.2m, constructed from wood with a white lacquer finish. Equipped with a 49” TV screen with frametouch and a notebook running the application, this table offers a robust platform for digital interaction.
The tokens were designed in a hexagonal shape to prevent them from rotating, which proved to be more intuitive than when they were round. We included a weight of XXX on each one for more comfortable and ergonomic handling, as well as to assist with contact with the table. We also included magnets to facilitate the changing of the top to vary the icon and, consequently, display new information. The attachment to the table is done through a second piece 3D printed with the same hexagonal shape, making it easy for the piece to fit once placed in the region.
Operation:
The interactive table utilizes geometry recognition technology inspired by an IDEUM platform (https://ideum.com/products/platform). Through tokens representing products or projects, the audience can interact with the digital information displayed on the panel. Each token has a unique geometry at its base, allowing it to be identified by the touch system and display relevant information to the audience.
Advantages and Benefits:
Differing from conventional approaches, this table offers an innovative interaction experience. Instead of merely viewing a slideshow or video, participants can physically interact with the information, creating greater engagement and entertainment.
Innovation and Technology:
The table incorporates touch technology and object recognition to provide an interactive experience. Additionally, the tokens were produced through 3D printing, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and innovation. As for the application, it was developed using an open-source engine called GODOT. This application runs on a notebook embedded in the table so that public interaction is directly through the touch panel/TV
Adaptability and Ease of Use:
The table can be easily adapted for different projects and uses, with the ability to adjust the screen size as needed. The intuitive and ergonomic design ensures smooth and hassle-free interaction for the audience.
Target Market:
Targeted at companies interested in showcasing their projects and products at trade shows and in-person events, this table can also be used by tourism companies to provide educational information to visitors.
Safety and Sustainability:
The product is safe to use, with minimal safety concerns. Additionally, the production of tokens through 3D printing demonstrates a commitment to environmental sustainability.
Conclusion:
In summary, the interactive table represents a significant evolution in how information is presented at in-person events, offering an interactive and engaging experience that captivates the audience and sets brands apart in a competitive market.
