Improved Touch Support

Those of you utilizing touch enabled screens will appreciate our new support for gesture recognition. It's become second nature to swipe and pinch at everything so we felt it couldn't hurt to incorporate the same functionality into our interactive signage.

To preview the new feature just add a slideshow zone to your template and select the 'Touch Scroll' transition option. This will allow smooth scrolling through your playlist by swiping the screen with your finger, similar to a smartphone or tablet.

In these instances, sensors in smart shelving can trigger specific signage based on the item of interest.
