IntuiLab, provider of IntuiFace, the no-coding interactive experience creation platform, has announced support for the Chrome OS.

According to IntuiLab, the move makes it the signage industry's first no-coding platform enabling multitouch content creation for any Chromebook, Chromebox and Chromebase device, including those offered by Google and AOPEN. With the addition of Chrome OS, IntuiLab offers an increased variety of platform options for interactive digital signage, the company said.

Built from the ground-up with multitouch capabilities at its core, the IntuiFace platform is intended to enable any business to create engaging, highly interactive HTML5-based experiences without coding – no development skills are required - that can be deployed within minutes onto any PC, tablet and Chrome OS device, the company said. These touch-first experiences can incorporate a wide variety of media formats, any live connection to cloud-based data and APIs (including social networks and the Internet of Things), and all of the core capabilities necessary for successful signage and kiosk deployments, including fine-grained user data collection, scheduling and the ability to work offline.

Chrome OS is becoming a popular go-to digital signage infrastructure option thanks to its low cost, high performance and ease of installation and maintenance, the company said. To work within this environment, IntuiLab has produced a Chrome Kiosk App version of its Player software. As a Kiosk App, Player can be used in Single App Kiosk mode on Chrome OS, meaning it can run full screen and prevent user exit. In addition, IntuiFace Player is compatible with Chrome device management, permitting remote Player installation and software updates.

With Chrome OS support, IntuiLab said it enables companies to quickly generate and publish multitouch content for everything from classic digital signage to information kiosks, curated exhibits, retail point-of-sale catalogs and sales presentations. These interactive experiences enable configurable device-side data collection — for analytics and marketing automation — and support real-time integration with any third-party data source, business logic or connected device. The resulting content is designed to be environmentally aware, user-relevant and fully customizable for any size deployment or screen.

"As a manufacturer of commercial-grade Chrome devices, it is important for us to help our clients produce premium content for those devices as well," said Erik Siera, business development manager Europe at AOpen. "IntuiFace not only makes this possible at a fraction of the cost and time associated with bespoke development, but it does so for interactive — not just static — signage. It is just the kind of platform our partners are looking for."

"IntuiLab's commitment to an HTML5-based approach has enabled us to bring our no-coding, multitouch digital signage-creation platform to Chrome OS," IntuiLab CEO Vincent Encontre. "IntuiFace hides the complexity of HTML5 while exposing all of its advantages in a simple drag-and-drop environment. On top of that, the ability of IntuiFace to collect customer data makes any Chrome OS device an invaluable source of information for analytics and marketing automation."

IntuiFace's Chrome OS support is available today. To try it for free, users can install the free edition of IntuiFace Composer, and navigate their Chrome OS device to the Google App Store, search for "intuiface" and install Player. The Chrome OS-based Player works just as it does on all other platforms supported by IntuiFace, the company said.
