June 2013 Newsletter

Touch screens, touch tables, interactivity – very popular technology in museums at the moment so we thought that in this edition of the blackbox-av newsletter we’d tell you about our work with Museum Software and Interactives.

As you’d expect, value is an important part of our offer…

Some years ago we realised that creating software from scratch for each new project resulted in high costs for every client. Lightbox 2, our standard but easily customised media browser software overcomes that to provide clients with a cost effective content management system that’s easy to use, populate and customise.

We’ve created a new 2 minute explainer video for ‘Lightbox 2’ that showcases exactly how it allows you to create professional, customised interactives at a much lower cost than a fully bespoke option – over as many screens as you want.

For clients that prefer an interactive system tailored specifically for them, we have a sneak peek on our latest touch screen and touch table project for Finchingfield Guildhall…

Along with our off-the-shelf software options we also regularly design and develop fully bespoke interactives for museum, heritage and retail sites.

Watch the above video for a sneak peak of an ongoing touch screen heavy project at Finchingfield Guildhall for designers Smith & Jones, who developed the concept then came to us to piece it all together.

Blackbox-av have a stand at this years AIM (Association of Independent Museums) conference at MOSI on 21st of this month.

If you’re attending and have time, please drop by our stand and check out our latest products! These will include a Lightbox 2 for you to play with which, due to its cost effectiveness, corresponds nicely with this years theme of ‘improving resilience in economically challenging times’.
