ISE 2017
" Integrated Systems Europe 2017 definitely got a thumbs up from the visitors and the participants , and we all look forward to next year ".
LED pool tables and via interactive mirrors . The myriad of ways to engage with an audience was only limited by the knowledge that these technologies exist in the first place . One such hidden gem came from the wizards at Scala Inc , as they provoked much discussion with their touch fabric simulations in a sports clothing setting . It appears that engagement technology is gathering a pace and the Imagineers have finally been set free . Long may they stay one step ahead of their own beautiful , creative debris .
Visitors could be forgiven for thinking that they were wandering through an industrial wonderland as they saw robotic giraffes from Mitsubishi Electric – a name not regularly associated with engagement technology – and yet proved to be quite a draw .
Robotics and automation were also in evidence on the LG stand . Their OLED Twister Flexible Curve Open Frame screen arrays demonstrated excellently choreographed pieces of theatre that warped and shifted before a cooing audience of technophiles . We marvelled as these banks of curved panels oozed liquid pixels , rippled reality , distorted our imaginations , sidestepped optical physics and twisted our melons .
If that wasn ’ t enough , how about signage that incorporated invisible digital messaging . Visitors were handed lenses that , through the ingenious use of polarising filters , revealed hidden messages on menu boards , making these examples seem more akin to John Carpenters 1988 Sci-fi film ' They Live ' than ever before .
There were dozens upon dozens of great examples of super wide format LED panels that shouted loud for your attention . Some shone with candela levels usually reserved for dwarf stars , and indeed many panelled video walls were so huge they risked blocking out our own Sun entirely .
And of course , as we see the rise of VR and associated versions of reality shifting technologies , at ISE2017 many companies were demonstrating their 360 dome projectors and fisheye lenses . A collaboration between Canon and Elumenati gave # ISE2017 visitors a demonstration of a great educational installation that is currently running at the Children ’ s Museum of Manhattan .
