Custom Applications

A multitouchtable has a wide and varied range of uses. As a result, a customised application is designed for each customer or – if possible – one of our sample applications is optimised for the new situation.

Creating customised software applications is one of the core competencies of Archimedes Solutions. Based on your ideas and requirements, we design the product including interaction design and graphic design, and carry out the programming for you.

The application is the measure of success

How a multitouchtable is rated and experienced depends to a large extent on the quality of the programmed multitouch application. User interaction only works well if this is perfectly aligned with the tracking and if various factors have been taken into account.

Is it possible to adapt the hardware to my needs?

The ample experience of the exhibit and product development team from the fields of software development and electronics means that Archimedes Solutions can offer you the special service of creating a customised multitouch solution. For example, this could take the form of a table with a smaller or a larger screen, a slanted surface or a wall.
In addition, it is viable to integrate the optical cell (the heart of the multitouchtable) in an existing internal architecture or a new one that has to be designed. In such cases, our specialists from the areas of electronics, internal architecture, product and media design will be happy to work with your internal contact persons to come up with an integrated solution. Contact us to find out about more details and prospects.
One example of a customised solution of this kind is the modified SESSION DESK that we built for the Science-Express on behalf of the Max Planck Society. See the section on ‘Sample applications’ for details.

What is the advantage of having the hardware and software development come from one source?

Archimedes Solutions has accumulated extensive experience and comprehensive product knowledge on the basis of its past developments. This means that software developments can be calculated accurately and realised without any surprises. Furthermore, this allows you to focus on the communications and logistics efforts, as the areas involved such as exhibit construction, programming, interaction design and visualisation work closely together. This is the case in particular for customised hardware or software solutions, or in cases where customers wish to have the multitouchtable integrated in an overall system.

What if I already have a partner to create my content and carry out the design and interaction design?

In such cases, Archimedes Solutions can implement your concept and design in accordance with your specifications and can program the application for you.

Is it possible for external companies to program applications for SESSION DESK themselves?

Basically, yes. We recommend that you always work together with our programmers in order to achieve a good result. We currently do not provide a SDK. The best option in this case is to talk to us and we can work out a solution together.

What if I am an agency?

Are you looking for a partner to help you simply implement your ideas for a multitouch application for one of your customers? Talk to us. We will be glad to hire out our programmers for new reference projects.
