NDI

“As leaders in sensor-based interactivity, we show never-before-seen examples of interactive digital signage on our booth 6H710. Using our hardware platform of sensors and controls, which are specially designed for digital signage, we’ve fitted as many application examples as our square meterage possibly allows, while still leaving space for the coffee machine. And with our 10+ demos, visitors can see and experience the latest products that will inspire this year’s interactivity offerings. We are also releasing many new products, including sensors, controls, and partner integrations, making Nexmosphere a must-visit destination if you work in digital signage.

I’d like people to overcome the thought that switching to interactive is difficult. With this in mind, I’d like professionals to come see the XY-251; a product based on our Presence & Airbutton sensor, one of our most popular sensors for which we’ve now designed a standard housing. 

This may sound simple, and in fact it is! This product is designed with ease-of-implementation and scalability in mind. Instead of having to manufacture custom sensor housing or making cut-outs in walls, this sleekly designed product allows simply screwing a people-detection sensor to the wall or sticking it directly under a screen without any ugly wires sticking out, making installer’s and integrator’s lives so much easier and making the switch to interactive digital signage a no-brainer.

We keep coming back to ISE because for us it is THE show to show new technologies and their applications to tech professionals eager to be inspired and lead the market. It’s also great to be able to connect with so many friends in the industry again and talk about what the digital signage world needs next.”
