Object Recognition

General

The object recognition module is a module that only works on physical installations. That’s because we use dial tags.

The technology works as follows: each screen can process x number of touchpoints simultaneously. Often a maximum of 21. Each dial tag contains 3 or 4 touchpoints that are uniquely positioned. That’s why each dial tag has his own unique ID. (You can find it at the bottom of a tag)

If we can process a maximum of 21 touchpoints as an example and we use tags of 4 touchpoints, a maximum of 5 tags can be detected on the table at the same time. The remaining touchpoint is needed to allow interaction with your finger.

By placing a tag on the screen, we detect which information needs to appear. This information is a maximum of 5 filecards.

An object recognition works in combination with file cards. For more info about file cards click here.

The “basic” information of the object recognition module consists of the following parts:

Tags

Open

Here you can find an overview of all the created tags.

Tag detail:

• Tag name: internal work name

• Link ID: unique ID of each tag. You can find the number at the bottom of each tag
  Note #1 - you can only use ID’s of the tags you have. Only then we can detect the tag on the table.
  Note #2 - fill in the id without a zero in front of the number
  
  

  
  
  

• Select Size: there are different sizes of tags. For each exhibit you can only use one type.

• Thumbnail: not mandatory. It’s an option to give your tag a thumbnail. But if you place an object on your tag, you can’t see this thumbnail anymore.
  Tip: it could be helpfull to add a thumbnail when you are busy making your content for this module. In this way, you can see in the preview of this module a better result.

  • Optimal resolution small tags: 130px x 130px

  • Optimal resolution medium tags: 690px x 690px

  • .jpg or .png

• File cards: here you need to link maximum 5 file cards to your tag. You can move the order of the tags with the arrows.

• Color: Each tag can have his own accent color. This is helpfull to link the file cards to the tag or to devide tags from each other

Design

• The table invites you to stand around, so the interface must be readable from every side. This is possible in the interface design

• How the content appears on each disk can be customized via CSS styling

• File cards can be rotated, zoomed according to the visitors' reading position
