Digital engagement platform SignStix announced the launch of a new interactive release (SignStix Viper - Version 2.8, autumn 2015), that it says enables anyone to easily build interactive applications and deploy them globally.

Developed as a software-as-a-service solution for commercial and corporate enterprises to drive customer engagement, SignStix said it now provides organizations with the ability to quickly create and deploy quality interactive applications without the need to write code.

"The SignStix Viper release takes our platform to a whole new level — we've already seen clients building 4K 84-inch touch-enabled in-store catalogues with the beta release," SignStix founder and CEO Nick Fearnley said in the announcement. "We're really excited to see what our clients and partners build with this."

According to the announcement, organizations can now create, manage and deploy digital experiences, all from a single cloud-based platform. Any asset can be made touch interactive inside of SignStix Creator; when a customer interacts with these assets, the platform can trigger an expanding variety of events designed to allow customers to become much more engaged in digital content.

SignStix Viper also supports timed-based events, which are triggered when the animation timeline reaches a particular frame. Timed "triggers" help to manage complex animations.

Interactive signage can also be previewed within a browser, designed to allow SignStix users to test their interactive applications on a smart device prior to final deployment.

"The upcoming SignStix API is going to enable SignStix Interactive to become transactional — that's a game changer," Fearnley said.
