The server shares content with each individual element within the system or with each exhibit, and users can access content through the interactive multi-touch screens on the second floor. Content can also be accessed through the huge power wall.
Another interactive media element in Nestlé’s new multi-communication facility is a 65-inch multi-touch tabletop with integrated RFID functionality. The table recognizes any Nestlé product package when it’s placed on the surface and through the RFID chip inside the pack.
It then provides more information about Nestlé’s standards and users can interact with the content via the multi-touch display.
The multimedia experience also includes a special social media wall, comprised of six 42-inch screens that provide an integrated display of information from social media content and web news relating to the world of Nestlé and related industry topics.
The screens can also be used as one, merged together for a large combined display covering the entire area.
The media units featured in the center were developed especially for the Future Work and Meeting Space. Each element can be moved around as desired and specially designed cavities under the floor boards are used to supply media with data and a power source. Each of the three media units is equipped with a 50-inch multi-touch display on the front and the back and each screen is operated through a computer concealed within the unit.
Presentation Software
The software system introduced by macom includes the ability to switch between English or German, a function for sharing information with visitors and anyone else using the facilities and an integrated option for accessing web content.
The system allows Nestlé to enter media content and data during live operation through a central access point within the CMS. Content is then available within minutes and no previous knowledge of programming is required.
Aside from allowing users to interact with the presentation screens and the content management system, one key function of the software is to control the actual media.
One Room, Seven Uses
The underlying concept for the Future Work and Meeting Space is to allow users to pick a usage scenario that matches their individual requirements for the display area. The system offers pre-configured settings for controlling the media and working with the content. Settings can be entered via a mobile device.
Depending on the desired function of the room and the user’s authorization level, digital content can be accessed in three different modes: exhibition mode, detailed presentation mode or a training mode for teachers.
