HYPERVSN 3D Holographic Signage for Hospitals and Healthcare

Now we realize that COVID-19 was both scaring and unexpected at the same time, which made it even more awful. The financial and psychological crisis was the first and the smallest damage produced by the pandemic. For a long time since the last war, we had to acknowledge how fragile civilization is in general and human life in particular.

Made to step forward to the forefront of global battlefield hospitals and other medical institutions took unprecedented and heroic efforts to meet the latest challenges. It is not only about the avalanche-like number of patients. Hospitals also faced a lack of medicines, equipment, and a critical shortage of staff.

But selfless fighting for human lives is not enough to stop the disease. It asked for everyone to observe precautions and think about other people around us.

Informational and educational technologies in healthcare industry

The need to get complete and professional advice about the virus puts informational and educational technologies in medicine in high demand.

On-the-spot visual displays and digital signage took on consulting services and this way helped hospitals to increase the number of personnel actively fighting COVID-19. The technology also helps hospitals to effectively communicate public safety measures without a chance to spread the virus from humans to humans since communications were replaced by human-to-technology interactions.

But since delivering the right message quickly and effectively is important, traditional banners and displays lose to next-level technologies. That is why more and more companies hire HYPERVSN informational holographic displays to do the job.

Why choose holographic displays

Holographic displays present critical information in a way that cannot be ignored​ and focus all patients’ attention on COVID-19 safety measures and other important announcements.

HYPERVSN 3D displays increase chances of a message being seen​: twice likely than 2D videos or messages​ and 4.5x more likely than printed ads​. They also obtain higher emotional engagement​: 40% longer view and engagement time than 2D digital ads and 60% longer view and engagement time than printed ads.

So, our original solutions for hospitals and other institutions, Informational Signages and Holographic Doctors, changed the way patients perceive and embrace the information.

HYPERVSN Informational Signage

Holographic Informational Signage effectively educates visitors and clients about the approved public safety measures, helps to provide instructions and communicate critical manuals.

Depending on the purpose and placement, we offer a great variety of 3D visuals for medical signage from COVID-19 precautionary measures recommended by WHO to safety reminders and instruction animations. We can also create custom 3D holographic content based on your needs and peculiarities

Placement options

Making HYPERVSN signage easily noticeable you can make use of the following usually most crowded places:

  • hospital entrance zones;
  • receptions and lobbies;
  • elevator areas;
  • checking rooms;
  • cafes, etc.
HYPERVSN Holographic Doctor

If you not only want to attract attention but also strive to put words in the minds of your patients you will need someone they can trust. In this case, we have something great to offer.

HYPERVSN holographic doctors are good enough to make people listen and follow the announced health care measures, medical and social recommendations. People love human-like holograms, they like to compare the holographic technology with real consultants and start this game happily.

Holographic doctors can reduce the burden which falls on real staff and this way help fighting the disease more effectively.

Notice that you can use either the ready-made 3D holographic visuals with the COVID-19 precautionary measures recommended by WHO or contact us for some custom announcements.

Holographic doctors in Birmingham Women’s Hospital

One of the real-life cases that describe good use of holographic doctors was Birmingham Women’s Hospital. It is one of only two women’s dedicated hospitals in the UK. The hospital uses HYPERVSN Wall of 9 Devices with custom holographic human content telling visitors about the hospital safety measures during the pandemic.

The 3D content and character created by our in-house Design Studio were enthusiastically received by patients and the staff.

More options

In addition to the medical sphere, HYPERVSN can be used in any area, including retail, HORECA, entertainment, offices, transport, etc. So, when the pandemic ends, you can easily take advantage of it for promoting sales, attracting new customers and visitors, advertising products, telling stories, etc.

3 Reasons to Use Interactive Digital Signage

3 Reasons to Use Interactive Digital Signage

The following article has been re-posted from digitalsignagetoday.com

No matter what industry you use it in, interactive digital signage can make your content more impactful, engaging and exciting.

Just like people are more likely to remember something if they write it down, they are also more likely to remember something if they have to engage with it, rather than just see it. We only remember 10 percent of what we read. We only remember 20 percent of what we hear. We only remember 30 percent of what we see. But we remember 80 percent of what we personally experience. That’s where interactive signs come in.

Not convinced interactive digital signage is for you? Here’s three reasons why interactive digital signage is a must.

It’s engaging

What are you most likely to stop and look at: a screen with a slogan and photo OR a screen that offers you the choice to look at whatever content you’re most interested in?

Probably the second option, right? 81 percent of survey respondents said that interactive content grabs attention more effectively than static content. So yes, it’s pretty obvious that we’re more likely to approach an interactive kiosk than a static sign (even if it’s on a digital screen). With interactive marketing your business can grow brand awareness, differentiate from your competition, increase customer loyalty, and increase profits!

In retail, making digital signage advertisements interactive increases a shopper’s likelihood to impulse buy. In fact, 70 percent of marketers found that interactive content is more effective in converting visitors. So, instead of displaying a photo or video of your products, get creative and think of ways your customers can engage with your products digitally!

It’s memorable

What are you most likely to remember: a screen with a slogan and photo; or a screen that offers you the choice to look at whatever content you’re most interested in?

Again, probably the second option! That’s because digital signage is inherently more memorable than traditional, static digital signage. Interactive advertising manages to hold the attention of the consumer longer, leading to a better chance of that consumer remembering your brand. Actually, unaided brand recall was 8 percent higher for interactive ads, and 10 percent higher for aided brand recall — for example when viewing a subsequent ad or piece of marketing.

Today the average person is bombarded with the equivalent of 174 newspapers of data every single day. That’s a lot of distracting information! In reality, the average person only retains about 10 percent of the information we hear, 3 days after we hear it.

So, by making our digital signage interactive, it increases the likelihood that your content will be retained among the 174-newspapers-worth of information we absorb in a given day.

It’s impactful

We can’t emphasize enough that consumers are demanding more and more from businesses. They’re looking for personable, meaningful interactions among a sea of constant distraction. This is exactly what makes having the ability to actually interest and engage them with your content so impactful.

By integrating interactive content into your digital signage strategy, you make it easier to gather impactful metrics — how many people are interacting, what are they interacting with, for how long, where are they dropping off, etc. You open up the doors to help make data-driven decisions that will ultimately impact your bottom line.

At the end of the day, it is of course important to carefully consider what content works best for your digital strategy and customer profiles. If interactive digital signage sounds like a good fit for both, you could be on the cusp of something incredibly impactful!

10 Things Every Touchscreen Buyer Should Know

10 Things Every Touchscreen Buyer Should Know

via @iBoardTouch:

Just like with purchasing a house, buying a touchscreen can be a daunting task for first time buyers. Buyers do not necessarily know the right questions to ask, which is why we have broken down 10 things every touchscreen buyer should know.

1. Do your prep

It pays to think about what you need before you start researching potential solutions. The choice of models, feature-sets and specifications can be overwhelming if you don’t have an idea of what you need. Ask yourself questions about the spaces in which the screens will be used. How many classrooms or other spaces require screens? What is the size of each room? How many students per class? Do you need some to be mobile? If so, where will they be used? And what will they need to connect to?

2. Evaluate the technology

You will be able to get plenty of information from brochures and spec sheets, but nothing beats seeing products in action. Watch demo video clips or even get hands-on – download trial software. Take the time to try it out yourself.  Why not take some teachers and students along to your supplier’s demo centre to assess the model or request the product is brought to you.

3. Screen size

You want all content displayed on the screen to be clear and legible to all your class wherever they’re sitting so it’s essential to have the right size of screen for the size of space. Touch screens are available up to 105-inch in size so there’s going to be a size to suit all spaces. Don’t be afraid to ask a trusted supplier to advise you on the optimal size for your room. Remember, touch screens can easily be moved when mounted on a trolley and are bright enough to be used in a variety of spaces such as libraries, staff rooms or the assembly hall.

4. Not all panels are equal

While touch screens may look similar, the panel inside varies hugely in terms of quality and reliability so be sure to ask: ‘What is the panel grade?’ and ‘What is the panel failure rate?’

There are different grades of panel from B to A++ with A++ the best quality. To achieve top grade, the panel should have virtually no flaws such as dark or light spots, light leakage round the edges or other blemishes, which affect the quality and uniformity of the image reproduction. The lower the grade, the more flaws are permitted. The highest-grade panels tend to be more reliable and have lower failure rates. Less than 1% failure rate is very low so ideal; 2-4% is mid and 5-9% is high and 10% and above is a very high failure rate.

5. Display quality

Other factors affect how well content displays including the resolution of the screen. The higher the resolution, the more detail can be displayed, which helps to ensure even tiny text and numbers, minute details and subtleties in colour and shade are clear. Full HD or 1080p is sufficient for screens up to 65-inch while 4K is ideal for anything above this. A key component for computers with a 4K Screen within a classroom are graphics card – look for these bundled with the screen. With content likely to become more high resolution over the long life of your screen, it makes sense to future-proof (see 10 below) so opt for 4K now.

6. Multi-touch interaction

Touch screen models use a variety of touch technologies. Most now support multi-touch of 2, 4, 6, 10 or 32 simultaneous touches. Two is the minimum needed to pinch, zoom, double-tap etc. – the touch gestures we’re all used to from our smartphones and tablets. Four is the minimum you’ll need if two people are to use the screen at the same time. If your screen will be used as a touch table, opt for as many touches as possible so students can work together in groups around the device. Multi-touch is not the same as multi-user so ensure you test this in a demo. Don’t forget, there are also other ways to interact with your touch display from tablets or laptops using software like DigiClass to connect up to 40 iOS, Android and Windows devices wirelessly. 

7. Connectivity

Remember, when connecting the screen with tablets, you want bi-directional connection so you can not only share the contents of the tablet on the big screen, but also have the students see what’s on the large screen on their tablet, annotate it and save it. Apple TV won’t do this with iPads, but software like DigiClass will and depending on your bundle may be free with your screen.

Another key aspect to look for is built-in WiFi. The ability for the screen to act as a WiFi hotspot and an Ethernet hard-wired connection (RJ45) if your WiFi isn’t that great, as well as ports for USB, HDMI, microphones and RS232 if you have a room control system.

 8. Software

You want to be free to use the software of your choosing in your school, college, university or office so make sure there is nothing to restrict that choice. You will however, definitely need tools that provide flawless whiteboarding and the ability to annotate and connect to tablets and use them as voting handsets or as cameras/visualisers. School users will also be glad of tools that make your lives easier, like the ability to open native Smart and Promethean files so there’s no need to recreate all those lessons you’ve accumulated.

Software can sound good but be disappointing in use so the best way to assess the software provided is to download a trail version and try it out yourself.

9. Features that support your method of teaching and presenting

Video-conferencing and screen recording are fantastic tools for connecting to other schools and organisations, enabling students or teachers to connect in from home, another classroom, school or anywhere they happen to be. iBT’s screen record built-in to IWBpro is also a great way to create revision resources for your students and prepare materials for use in flipped and active learning. A long cabled webcam can also be invaluable for use as a standard video camera which can be incorporated with our ‘visualizer tool’ to project the image from the camera on the screen.

10. Future proofing

Your new touch screen will have a much longer life than your old projector and whiteboard. Today’s touch screens will typically still be working at full brightness in ten years time so it makes sense to not only consider what you need today, but what your teachers and students will need in the future. Choosing a solution with MS windows compatibility and Android will be vital. Get the best of both worlds with quick access to apps for use on the screen at the click of a button. Apps will become an important tool in the digital classroom of the (near) future so ensure your front-of-class screen has Android for complete versatility.

In the end purchasing a touch screen is like making any other big purchase. It requires research and thought. Whether you are a first time buyer or looking to upgrade your exisiting touchscreen, make sure you take in to account the 10 Things Every Touchscreen Buyer Should Know.

Introducing ‘Flip': Samsung’s Giant Digital Whiteboard

Introducing ‘Flip': Samsung’s Giant Digital Whiteboard

via @Gizmodo:

Samsung has a vision for a “workplace of the future” – and it includes a giant, rotating, digital whiteboard that can screen mirror your phone and have four people writing on it at the same time.

Samsung calls the Flip WM55H “an upgrade on both standard paper flip charts and analog boards” – basically packing a host of digital features into what aims to still feel like a traditional whiteboard.

“However, unlike its predecessors,” Samsung says, “Samsung Flip allows easy sharing, annotation, movement and even searching, as well as the ability for multiple users to create content at once.”

The Flip is on wheels, is height adjustable and can also be wall mounted either horizontally or vertically.

“The often-flawed logistics of the modern meeting make it easy for participants to feel disengaged and for vital ideas and discoveries to become lost,” said Seog-gi Kim, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.

“Today’s workers require more powerful and flexible technologies, and we truly believe that our new Samsung Flip display offers endless possibilities for driving impactful collaboration. We are excited to debut the Samsung Flip at CES 2018, and we look forward to building upon this technology to help businesses work better, smarter and faster.”

Up to four people can use their fingers or a special dual-sided pen (one side is a highlighter, which is very cool) in unique writing styles, sizes and colours so you can tell them apart.

But it’s not just the pen or your finger (your palm acts as an eraser), you can add content via wireless connectivity, USB, PC, mobile ports and NFC.

There are 20 “pages” of space on the Flip, and each can be searched. Once you’re done with your meeting/session, the content is stored in a central database behind a password lock. When you log back in, you can download and share the content through email, save it to a USB or external hard drive – or you can even print it, if you’re old school.
