Storytelling Reimagined with TouchPlay
Museums and exhibits have always been about storytelling. What’s changing is how those stories are shared. A recent report by the American Alliance of Museums revealed that over 70% of visitors prefer exhibits that integrate digital interactive elements, citing stronger retention of information compared to static content. TouchPlay gives curators and educators the tools to facilitate that demand by transforming a video wall into a touch-driven storytelling hub.
The 55-inch wall-mounted touchscreen console presents a sleek, Netflix-style interface, where visitors or staff can browse, swipe, and tap through curated video collections. Whether showcasing historical documentaries, artistic visuals, or educational deep-dives, TouchPlay brings exhibits to life in a way that feels natural and engaging.
Features Designed for Engagement and Control
TouchPlay is more than a playback device. It’s a comprehensive console that allows curators and educators to create a fluid, immersive digital environment. Key features include:
- Categorization & Playlists: Organize video content into themes such as “Ancient Civilizations,” “Local History,” or “Art Movements,” making it easier for visitors to identify the stories they want to explore.
- Preview Thumbnails: Visitors can tap a thumbnail to preview clips, facilitating quick decisions without disrupting the ongoing presentation.
- Swipe Gestures & Infinite Scrolling: The interface feels familiar and modern, allowing users to scroll seamlessly through content without technical barriers.
- Interactive Overlays: Add clickable layers that guide visitors toward deeper information, related artifacts, or online resources. Imagine a visitor watching a video on Van Gogh and tapping to see sketches or personal letters.
- Timed Overlays: Schedule prompts to appear at specific moments in a video, such as links to related exhibits or upcoming events.
- Idle-Time Screensavers: When not in use, the system automatically switches to a curated screensaver, ensuring the video wall continuously showcases museum highlights, educational messages, or upcoming events.
Data-Driven Insights for Educators and Curators
TouchPlay also provides museums and institutions with a powerful analytics backbone. Its real-time dashboards track metrics such as video plays, average viewing times, and most-engaged content. According to a 2023 Culture Track study, institutions that integrated analytics into their digital exhibits reported a 28% rise in repeat visits, as they were able to adapt content strategies based on proven visitor interests.
With TouchPlay, curators can identify which content resonates, uncover engagement patterns, and refine future programming accordingly. This strengthens the connection between the institution and its audience.
Customization and Branding for Every Institution
Every cultural space has its own identity. TouchPlay makes it easy to reflect that by offering customizable themes, logos, and branded visuals. From national museums to community galleries, institutions can create an interface that feels aligned with their mission while raising visitor immersion.
Facilitating a New Standard for Exhibits
As museums modernize their engagement strategies, interactive video wall control is becoming a central part of the visitor journey. By tapping into features like real-time analytics, interactive overlays, and intuitive navigation, TouchPlay facilitates deeper learning and storytelling that resonates with diverse audiences.
Whether it’s a child tapping through a timeline of dinosaurs or an art enthusiast browsing curated playlists of digital collections, TouchPlay turns passive observation into active participation.
