Tangible Interaction Launches the Ti Social Media Portal

July 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Tangible Interaction launches The Social Media Portal, a sleekly designed touch-screen kiosk that helps unlock the virtual potential of real world events. Where people socialize, congregate or gather in the real world, the Social Media Portal acts as gateway to the virtual world. It generates site-specific content — such as photos and accompanying messages — and uploads it instantaneously to existing social networks, custom web sites, or unique graphic creations.

Many campaigns begin online and climax in a real world event with minimal online follow through. The Social Media Portal changes that. It’s the missing link in a campaign cycle that transforms brand experience from online to offline back to online.

The Social Media Portal extends the life and dimensions of a campaign at an event or for extended periods. Clients can install it at a dedicated site or house it in-store. They can use it to entertain and dazzle, inspire meaningful feedback from valued customers — or both.

Features
:
Currently the Social Media Portal takes high quality photos and instantly posts them with messages to a personal or branded account on Twitter, Facebook or Flickr. People can also email photos and text. The elegant design and intuitive interface make for a fun experience.

Future versions will feature audio recording, custom photo overlays, face recognition (for dynamically positioning graphics on a portrait), on-site printing, green screen (for dynamically changing backgrounds), augmented reality, ability to tag content with text, vote, rank, and so on. Tangible Interaction can customize the Social Media Portal to realize inventive branding experiences for its clients.
