Cowie and Fox – Leaders in Touch Screen Technology
The web development team at Cowie and Fox recently launched their latest and greatest interactive project: the 2010 Legacies Scrapbook. The 2010 Scrapbook, focused on strengthening arts, healthy living accessibility and volunteerism, uses innovative touchscreen technology to connect diverse communities from all over the province.
The interactive scrapbook, like the other touchscreen projects C&F has done for Quigg Group and Oru for Fairmont Pacific Rim, it is designed to accessibility standards and can be displayed publicly on a large scale, or privately on your own computer. It uses Flash, and it uses it well. It’s user friendly, search engine friendly and easily updatable with dynamic content drawn from a Content Management System. Those of you who are more technical will also appreciate that it’s deep-linking, mirrored to html content, programmed in ActionScript 3 with a backend api that integrates with a content management system built on the PHP Symfony Framework.
Because of all of the exciting events taking place in BC the site is always growing. By running the touchscreens off of a USB memory stick that is connected to a local database, the touchscreen version of the scrapbook can stay current by automatically syncing with the online version as soon as it’s plugged into an internet connection, making frustrating updates a thing of the past.
It’s awesome. But don’t just take our word for it, check out the video demo at “2010 Legacies Now” or launch the website by clicking here.
