MultiTouch, Bluescape partner for collaborative digital signage workspaces

June 6, 2014

Interactive display systems provider MultiTouch Ltd. has partnered with cloud-based visual collaborative workspace company Bluescape, MultiTouch announced recently.

MultiTouch’s MultiTaction interactive digital signage displays now support Bluescape’s platform, allowing "an unlimited amount of individuals and teams" to interact with and share content for business projects and decisions. The partnership provides clients — including domestic and international Fortune 500 companies — with multi-user collaboration tools that accelerate decision-making, planning, research and development projects in real time across offices, according to the announcement.

Bluescape is now supported by the MultiTaction iWall and MultiTaction Cell 55-inch ultra-thin bezel, which can be incorporated as seamless, tile-able interactive walls or easel installations. Users can take advantage of MultiTaction’s real-time engagement and responsiveness features as well as its ability to support the concurrent use of hands and IR pens separately, independently and simultaneously. The Bluescape software provides 160 acres in the cloud to pull together users’ existing business data, applications, workflows and processes into one secure and central location.

“We are excited to partner with Bluescape and see our display technology being used to improve collaboration efficiency and innovation for businesses on a worldwide scale,” said Timo Korpela, general manager of MultiTouch Americas, in the announcement. “The growing trend of remote workers, and the need to work with team members across locations makes the Bluescape platform essential to the virtual workspace. Employees can now connect and engage with each other on their work like never before.”

MultiTouch and Bluescape will showcase its solution at NeoCon in Chicago, June 9-11, and at InfoComm in Las Vegas, June 14-20.

“Bluescape’s platform was created to help individuals and enterprises accelerate their business results and with MultiTouch’s technology, we are delivering a high-impact, visual experience,” Bluescape CEO Scott Poulton said in the announcement. “Our solution enables individuals to ideate and collaborate on projects in real-time, shortening the distance from concept to completion. Users are more creative with their peers in a virtual workspace anywhere at anytime. MultiTouch’s displays support our vision with leading edge visual performance and ability to support an unlimited number of concurrent touches.”
