| Description | A New Era In Digital Engagement |
DigiGage is start-up that have developed a patent pending platform for embedding real-time 3D animated worlds that reacts to their surroundings in real-time for digital displays. Our first line of products (winGage) is aimed for the elevator industry as a an elevator interior design product that aside for providing real-time information to the cab’s passengers serves as a digital architecture means to turn every elevator to a “digitally transparent†elevator.
By using the winGage SW and a standard digital display, the system imitates the looks and behavior of a real window if there was a window in the elevator. winGage is first and foremost a digital-décor product. The “virtual-window†is based on a large (22â€-60†size) screen, that in some installation types is embedded into a glass wall, in which we run one of a variety of scenic oriented, realistically looking virtual “living†worlds. With no integration or connectivity to the elevator’s internal system apart from a standard electricity outlet and an existing building internet connection, our “virtual-window†detects the movement of the elevator’s cab- so it “knows†whether it is stationary or moving, its direction, speed, location and degree of acceleration or deceleration. This is translated to the movement of the content- when the elevator goes up, the viewer’s point of view goes up as well, so the view changes (e.g. floor-level objects stay down at floor level) as would occur if there was a real window. This synchronizes the sensation we feel with the one that we see- just like in a transparent elevator, and creates a better physical feeling.
It doesn’t stop here, though - certain content objects behave differently than others by escorting the “window†as it moves. For example- in an ocean world that simulates an underwater elevator, a dolphin will follow the cab while the reef and other “regular†fish stay at their initial height. The system is controlled by the DigiGage portal that includes a content library full of different content worlds with which the building’s manager, the residing company or the tenants can swap the content of its elevators’ winGage system in a click, such that a building in Rome can see in the virtual view of the Amazonas waterfalls in one week and jump in a click to the living vivid Times Square in NYC the week after. In addition, the system offers a user area that enables an in-building messaging system, floor numbering display, floor based textual data and real-time RSS feed based information strip.
