In September 2019, Duke University unveiled a massive interactive multipanel touchscreen wall at the grand opening of its new alumni building, the Karsh Alumni and Visitors Center.
This is the first stop for alumni and visitors to start their Duke journey when arriving to campus. This journey is made more immersive with the partnership with T1V’s interactive and collaborative T1V Suite software and Planar’s cutting-edge touch displays.
T1V sought to create a space in Duke’s new alumni center that was interactive and transformational, and that told one cohesive Duke story.
T1V’s software team achieved this challenge with their T1V Suite platform - which is a series of app modules including an Interactive Map, Interactive Timeline, Media Viewer, Interactive Sports Module, and more. Each app module is customized to match the branded look and feel of Duke University, while presenting digital content in a refreshed way that many people haven’t seen before.
Whether it be interactive content from Duke’s rich history, or stories from notable alumni, donors, and students, T1V was able to create several different software modules for each of these groups of content, while keeping the user experience cohesive from module to module.
T1V also partnered with Duke’s mobile team to incorporate Duke’s Alumni app, delivering an even more personalized experience at Karsh. Depending on the user’s app settings, the T1V interactive wall can identify who is interacting with content via their mobile device. The user can input personal identifiers, such as graduation year, clubs, and activities that the user participated in during their time as a Duke student, and will then be greeted by name on the interactive wall, and also served relevant content. For example, updates on fellow graduates from the same year, or news from the academic department in which the individual majored.
With T1V software integrated into the larger ‘Connector Wall’, and in several smaller touchscreen displays throughout the building, the team was able to achieve seamless multiuser touch interaction so that each user could create their own Duke story.
