NextWindow recently exhibited their large and small touchscreens at CeBIT, the biggest trade show for ICT worldwide.

NextWindow always had a crowd in attendance, especially watching the multi-touch demonstrations. Two touch and interactive whiteboard applications plus the visible growth in demand for interactive Digital Signage, meant staff were always busy.

Frank Lamprecht from NextWindow's German partner, Interactive Displays, was on hand and met with most of the German-speaking visitors.

Press coverage was excellent, with several TV and web channels filming demonstrations and conducting interviews. Click the link below for a demonstration of NextWindow's two-touch in action.

This interactive table by Nemes using NextWindow's touch technology attracted plenty of interest at the recent Fair of Arts and Culture in Venice.

The visitors appreciated the accuracy and fast response of the touch table, which provides new and exciting ways to present multimedia content - in this case, mind games and simulated browsing of ancient books.

The display employed NextWindow's 1803 Through-Glass touch technology (shown above) for outdoor applications, and a NextWindow 40" touch panel for indoor applications, together with Nemes' software.

At the end of the fair, Nemes received the 2007 Quality Award, which is given to authorities or companies with the finest projects and presentations in the field of Innovation and Public Communication. Nemes and Microsoft are the only two companies to achieve this award so far.
