According to 22Miles, a digital signage and wayfinding solutions and software provider located in Silicon Valley, California, directional routing in any building should be an easily managed experience for any patron. Unfortunately, the company said, there always seems to be a missed opportunity to provide visitors with simple wayfinding. Aiming to fill that industry gap and solve the needs of frequent wayfinding complications and urgencies, the company has released its new interactive 3D wayfinding solution.

"The Waytouch Premier was designed to meet the exact needs of any building in search of a comprehensive wayfinding solution," said Chad Bogan, director of distribution for 22Miles, in a company announcement. "Using our new Digital Sign Builder our partners and resellers can quickly design an all-inclusive solution for their customers. Once created and submitted, a detailed proposal is instantly emailed out that contains an overview of the solution, selected features, FAQ and other information needed to present properly and quote a project."

The Waytouch Premier is designed to offer a reliable and intuitive wayfinding application for digital displays, kiosks and mobile phones, the company said:
