Expertise

Looking at the bigger picture to provide added value

Over the years, we have learned a thing or two about creating added value. When we advise you, we go beyond thinking of how to optimize your sales scenario or provide a new educational tool. We consider all of the ways to create applications that fit in with the other aspects of your business, such as your specific cross-channel activities (e- and m-commerce) and your IT infrastructure (ERP, CMS, etc.).

Adapting to your business every step of the way

We have developed a proven process to ensure that we provide end-to-end support that is fully adapted to your organization. With our extensive experience and diverse clientele, Atracsys knows how to ask the right questions to get right results. From the very beginning, our consultants take the time to listen. It is only once we have a full understanding of your objectives, constraints, ideas and wishes that we go to the drawing board to propose adapted multi-touch concepts. From then on, we work closely with you to ensure that we meet all of your specifications.

Ergonomic principles applied to all platforms

Our interface designers know how to adapt to whatever platform you’ve chosen, whether it’s a small tablet, a giant multi-touch screen or a gesture-controlled device. They propose highly visual, intuitive layouts that incorporate your brand’s visual identity and meet your objectives. The result is the perfect interface for your platform: one that is ergonomic and reflects your brand’s DNA.

A deep knowledge of Natural User Interfaces

For years, we have maintained our status as one of the world’s best designers of Natural User Interfaces (NUI). NUIs are interfaces designed to help people manipulate virtual content using their natural gestures. The word “natural” is key: most computer interfaces use artificial control devices (mouse, keyboard, etc.) that users must learn. Multi-touch technology uses NUIs to create easy, intuitive interactions. Navigating these interfaces is effortless from the very first time—the user experience couldn’t be any smoother.

The flexibility to adapt to your technology

Our clients are all different. They represent different sectors, are based in different countries and come in all different sizes. And most notably, they use different technologies. That’s why our software is adapted for different:

• programming languages
• software environments
• OS platforms

A smart way to collect business intelligence

With the Atracsys Business Intelligence framework, you don’t have to wonder how or if your users are responding to your multi-touch app: it tracks and collects data about user interactions for you. Number of times a product is selected? Time the average user spends with your app? Yep, our technology tracks it all. And once this data is collected, it is compiled into easy-to-read reports, available in both print and online formats.

A framework for multiple benefits

We developed our exclusive Atracsys Core Framework with SmORe+ tag recognition technology to provide:

• Remarkably responsive applications for a smooth user experience
• Robust tag detection for interaction with objects, enabling the detection to up to 4,000 unique tags
• Zero lag, regardless of how much content is displayed on the screen;
• Flexible upscaling of applications
• Multi-platform installations for the flexibility to use your app on a table, screen, smartwall, tablet or smartphone

We’ve got expert advice to give

The iPhone was responsible for popularizing touchscreens, and we started to develop our own multi-touch screen—the atracTable—well before that. Since then, we have been tracking and testing all of the different brands and technologies on the market. We have comprehensive knowledge of all of the options out there, so you can count on us to recommend the best interactive device for your project and budget.

atracSurface

The atracSurface interactive multi-touch screen is the culmination of years of experience deploying multi-touch solutions worldwide. With atracSurface, you get flexibility (both vertical and horizontal mounting possible), reliability (professional, standard components), a smooth touch-feeling (special haptic, anti-glare glass) and an excellent user experience, all at a competitive price.Multiple users can gather around the atracSurface for simultaneous engagement with applications.

Users can also interact with applications using physical objects called easyTokens (patent pending): the atracSurface can detect up to 8 different easyTokens to interact with. Normally, such tangible object recognition is only available with expensive, highly specialized hardware, but the atracSurface allows you to intuitively explore content (images, slides, videos, 3D models, etc.) with physical objects using hardware that works out of the box.

Microsoft PixelSense (Samsung SUR40)

Samsung SUR40 is the new generation of Microsoft® Surface® experience featuring PixelSense™ technology, which gives LCD panels the power to see without the use of cameras. Building from the innovation of the first version of Microsoft® Surface® and Samsung’s leading display technology, it is now possible for people to share, collaborate and explore together using a large, thin display that recognizes fingers, hands and other objects placed on the screen.

Our very own atracTable & atracBar

The atracTable and atracBar are interactive surfaces that respond to the touch of your fingers. Both devices have the following features.

• Multi-touch: they can sense multiple fingers at the same time
• Multi-user: several people can use them at once
• Object & tag recognition: they can recognize objects that are placed on their surface, incorporating them right into your application’s interface

In sync with your current technology

Business representatives such as salespeople are big-time users of our apps for mobile devices. Chances are that these folks rely on your company’s CRM or ERP software, which is why we integrate our apps with your pre-existing IT infrastructure. This gives your people access to all kinds of up-to-date information in real-time, from product availability to customer profiles.

Adapting to multiple operating systems without added cost

Does your company use mobile phones or tablets that run on iOS or Android? The Atracsys fusionApps framework lets us deploy apps to both operating systems using the same source code. That affords you:

• Flexibility to deploy to multiple platforms, regardless of the operating system
• Rapid deployment to multiple platforms
• Two platforms for the price of one: whether your app is deployed to a mobile device using iOS or Android, the source code stays the same... so there’s no reason you should pay more.

Kinect: magic from Microsoft

Another fantastic motion-sensing device is the Microsoft Kinect. We’ve been creating interactive applications that are compatible with Kinect since 2011. With it, users can navigate interfaces on a screen using both gestures and spoken commands.

beMerlin: a truly enchanting experience

Imagine interacting with virtual content without ever even touching a screen. The beMerlin makes this magical experience possible. Our device senses hand gestures for touchless interaction with virtual content. Users can scroll, select, zoom in, zoom out and rotate objects 360°—all with simple hand gestures.
At the heart of this touchless technology is the beMerlin camera, which “sees” the users’ hands. The camera is located just above the screen, pointing downwards. It is linked to a computer that processes the gestural information.

Differentiate yourself from the competition

Offer something your customers have never seen before. Make them feel in control by letting them decide what they want to see and give them the possibility to browse through the content by simply moving their heads, hands, body or change their facial expressions.

Atracsys exclusive ICU Technology

We humans are pretty adept at detecting facial nuances, gender, age and emotions. Atracsys technology can too!
If you’ve dreamt up an interactive experience that involves face detection, we can make it happen. We’ve integrated face detection and tracking features to many customer apps, enabling real-time:

• face and facial expression tracking,
• gender estimation,
• age estimation.

Atracsys technology can also track multiple faces at once. Our customers use these features for anything from gathering statistical data to achieving that “wow” effect.

Custom-made Hardware

We have been developing custom projects for more than five years. We are used to work with communication agencies or multinational companies to answer their needs with state of the art technological solutions, including live streaming video stations, etc.

• We build a stellar concept based on your objectives

The sky’s the limit when it comes to multi-touch apps. We start with your objectives, taking the time to listen closely to what you’d like to achieve. Once your objectives are clearly articulated, our experts get to work translating them into a stellar concept, the basis of any great multi-touch app. We can provide multiple proposals, each one laid out in storyboard format. You narrow down the selection, and then we work together to polish the chosen concept to perfection.

• We select the right hardware to buy or rent 

You’ve got options when it comes to multi-touch devices. There are multiple brands of screens, tables, smartwalls and tablets, and each device has its specificities and advantages. Atracsys has been around since the fast-evolving multi-touch hardware market first appeared. We have the knowledge, experience and extensive partner network to propose the best hardware for your needs and budget.

• We program the software behind your application

Our programmers will be involved from the beginning of your project, helping them program your application more efficiently. They have been around since the inception of multi-touch software, and their work yields applications that are visually impressive, highly reliable, and easy to update and deploy across devices.

• We transport and install everything on location

Whether at an event or point of sale, we transport the multi-touch hardware directly where you’ll need it and install the application so that it’s ready to go. And with extensive experience delivering to over 18 countries, we’re pros at anticipating and navigating the little issues that crop up onsite. We won’t leave until everything is running smoothly.

• We provide full after-sales service

We stand-by to ensure that your event is successful. After the event, we evaluate the multi-touch application’s success based on statistical data gathered by the app itself. This allows us to modify your app for an even greater impact next time. And between events, we can easily port the application to smaller devices for your salesforce or showroom.
