Digital signage solutions and content developer iGotcha Media today announced what it's calling "first-ever mobile-to-digital-signage interactive application to be deployed by a major financial institution."
The deployment is an interactive tennis application, in support of National Bank of Canada's presentation of the Rogers Cup ATP/WTA tennis tournament in Montreal and Toronto.
Visitors at select branches can use any smartphone to connect and play a tennis game on large digital signage screens and video walls located in reception and behind tellers. Participants scan a QR code or enter a URL into their Web browser, then enter a three-digit personalized code. Using smartphone motion detection, the game allows users to experience a simulated tennis serve. Upon completing the game, users can enter a contest with the chance to win tickets to the Rogers Cup.
"We are very pleased to announce our latest tailored solution," iGotcha Media President Greg Adelstein said in the announcement. "This app is made possible using the latest technology. Leveraging motion detection and high-speed connectivity, we are able to replicate the experience of hitting a tennis ball. It is a fun way to illustrate the power and potential of such applications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a major financial institution anywhere in the world has deployed this type of technology. The simplicity of delivering network access via smartphone is incredibly powerful. We look forward to harnessing this innovative technology in numerous ways that further enable our clients to offer exceptional service and engaging experiences to their customers."
The interactive tennis application will run through Aug. 16, the closing day of the 2015 Rogers Cup.
