Exhibitions, trade shows and showrooms

  • Exhibitons, fairs and shows:
  • Let the customer start (or pause or restart on next trigger) a demonstration video of your product.
  • Due to the heavy-vandalism-protected robust design of the button thousands of customers can trigger it without destroying your demonstration computer/tablet.
  • Customer Information Terminals:
  • Motivate your customers to take a closer look at your customer information terminal by attracting them with a big button.
  • Additionally, the touchscreen of your customer terminal will be less stressed if common key functions like “Enter” are executed by the button.
  • Attract and motivate your customers:
  • Attach the button to a tablet (via USB-OTG adapter cable) or notebook computer.
  • Then run an application (i.e. powerpoint slideshow or powerpoint pages with embedded videos).
  • Usually, this motivates your customer to press the button again and get more involved with your product.
  • Powerpoint presentation for customers:
  • Let your customers cycle through your presentation without typing any unwanted keys/ disrupting the presentation cycle via button/customer trigger.
  • At the end of the slideshow auto-restart the presentation.
  • Install a USB module (pushbutton or pushbox) in a museum or company showroom.
  • So visitors can explore your interactive exhibits or product samples without risking material damage and the wear of presentation media (e.g. touchscreens, keyboards).
