Since Austrian National Day 2014, an interactive wall created by Ars Electronica Solutions provides visitors of the Federal Ministry for Europe, Integration and Foreign Affairs with information about the Ministry’s worldwide subsidiaries. Via touch, visitors select menu items such as “foreign affairs”, “foreign culture” or “integration” and retrieve information about the Ministry’s manifold activities. Special features include gigapixel images as well as Ars Electronica’s popular tool GeoPulse.
The active mode allows up to three persons to interact with the BMEIA TouchWall at the same time, while a presentation mode makes it possible to display content on the entire screen. Ars Electronica Solutions was responsible for the concept, the technical planning and the construction of the TouchWall in situ.
