How It Works

Intuiface Player: The runtime

Player is the bit of software necessary to run all of the interactive experiences you create in Composer. Well it's a little bit more than a "bit of software" since It's truly a virtual machine that interprets the output of the Composer and makes the whole execution feeling like being a native app. One Player is required for every Windows, iPad, Android, ChromeOS, Tizen-based Samsung SSP, or webOS-based LG Smart Signage device running an experience deployed in the field. For detailed technical specifications, click here. To see what an Intuiface project looks like under the covers, have a look at our online documentation.

• Support for remote gestures and any input peripheral: On Windows PCs, enables use of input devices like RFID/NFC readers and barcode scanners as trigger sources
• Drawing tools: Draw on the screen while presenting
• Inter-Player communication: Creation of multi-screen collaborative experiences. Without programming!
• Visual remote control: Drive Windows-based experiences wirelessly using iPad and Android-based devices. Includes visual touchpad for full interaction and drawing at a distance.
• Agnostic to display make/model: No display vendor lock-in. Freedom to change display make/model without having to change experience.
• White label option: Take ownership of the splash screen when an experience is automatically launched.

Intuiface Analytics: The measuring stick

Turn your Intuiface experience into an essential KPI resource by defining, collecting, visualizing, and sharing the data that drive design, operational, and business insights. Capture data identifying user preferences and their context (gender, weather, location, etc. ) Then build charts and dashboards to reach actionable user insights. For details, click here.

• Log virtually any event (e.g. scene dwell time, user action, data input, environmental info, etc.)
• Use unlimited parameters for each logged event, maximizing the richness of reported information.
• Identify sessions (coupled with improved RFID/NFC tag reader support) so you can differentiate users.
• Real time upload of event information - aka data points - to a centralized, cloud-based Hub, permitting almost immediate access to data across even the largest deployment.
• Visualize data using 30+ chart types and a powerful yet simple drag-and-drop chart editor
• Optioally forward data to third party analytics, marketing automation, and data warehousing platforms via built-in integrations for Excel, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, as well as for REST Web Service data pulls.
• Collect and share custom-built charts using our dashboard feature, ensuring that colleagues and clients have access to interactive visualizations with a real-time connection to the Data Hub, ensuring information is always up-to-date.

Intuiface Share and Deploy: The link to the outside

Accessible via our web-based Management Console - home for a variety of functions including license and purchase management - is the Share and Deploy console which makes it possible for you to manage experiences: publish them to the cloud, share them with others, and deploy them on a schedule to geographically distributed devices - all without leaving your desk. Intuiface hosts the service so there is nothing for you to install and no advanced degree required. For details, check out our Help Center article.

• Publish experiences to the cloud: One-click upload of your projects to a free Intuiface Cloud Storage account or to your own FTP or Amazon S3 storage.
• Share experiences with colleagues and clients for editing: Just enter an email address. A sharing notification email is sent and Composer flags the newly shared experience as available for download.
• Share experiences with clients for review: Distribute a unique URL. Entering it in a browser on Windows, iPad, Android and Chrome will automate installation of a self-running version of your experience.
• Deploy experiences and manage Players on a schedule: Specify the time, date, and frequency of experience deployment, Player version upgrade, and more for devices located anywhere in the world. Never again walk the halls or hit the road with USB stick in hand.
• Manage your network: A real-time inventory of any Internet-accessible instance of Intuiface Player - regardless of geography - for device-level deployment of experiences.
• Access through web-based control panel: Accessible through any web browser running on any operating system. You don't even need Intuiface Composer or Player running on the same machine to use it.
• Monitor with crash recovery: For Windows PCs, restart experiences and Player itself if the remote device was rebooted. Across all supported operating systems, you can even see the active scene in the running experience on each device.

Intuiface IntuiPad: The remote control

IntuiPad is your handheld window to a running Intuiface experience. Using any iPad or Android-based device, this free software displays a running experience, captures your touches on the handheld display, and transmits those touches back to the experience. Walk amongst your audience as they view your presentation on a large, non-interactive screen. For details, click here.

• Visual Touchpad: Directly manipulate (touch, pinch, zoom, swipe) a reproduction of your presentation
• On-Screen Annotation: Drawings on your handheld appear on all screens showing your running presentation
• Automated Discovery: Locate and control any presentation located on your local intranet or Internet
• Quick Select Toolbar: Easy access to common commands like Next and Previous
• HTML5-based: Architected for rapid feature adoption and portability
• Real-Time Performance: Near-zero lag time between handheld touches and results on the audience-facing displays

Intuiface API Explorer: The cloud connector

API Explorer enables the no-coding creation of support for any REST-based Web Services query, opening the door to thousands of public and private APIs accessible via Web Services. That includes everything from movie listings and weather forecasts to currency conversion, the latest photos from NASA and all those connected objects among the Internet of Things. This thing is so powerful and unique that we're patenting it! For details, click here.

• Supports entry of any request URL or curl statement; displays the contents of any XML or JSON-formatted response.
• Uses a machine learning engine to accurately type each property (is it text? currency? webpage?) and to identify the values thought most likely to be important for display in your experience.
• Automatically generates a dynamic connector (aka an "interface asset") for the specified query and creates a visualization, within your experience, of the properties you specified
• Enables the automatic display of multi-page results in a single view, avoiding the need to manually sift through each page one at a time.
• Permits on-the-fly modification of host, endpoint and query parameters to tailor your Web request for your specific needs
