As part of a WWI exhibition at the National Museum of Ireland called ‘Recovered Voices’ a number of photographic albums are on display. They can’t be physically interacted with by visitors for obvious reasons so we were tasked with developing a system which could provide electronic access.

The NMI gallery software was developed around the Apple iPad – this hardware was specifically requested by the client and we were happy to oblige. The tablets themselves are in their 4th generation and well ready for the extremes of commercial use.

The gallery software displays a different album on each of the iPads;

With a presence at the best British summer music festivals, Greenpeace were looking for a way to gather petition signatures from festival goers, as well as give access to a site specific map and informative video about the plight of our oceans. Starting at Glastonbury and then moving on to other festivals from there.

The Greenpeace festival software was developed to work on a Windows Surface Pro, chosen for its high quality 12″ display, great spec and ease of use. Our development team also finds it easier to work with the Windows OS (which is a plus!).

Both systems have proved a hit, with the Greenpeace tablets garnering huge amounts of petition signatures across several festivals and the NMI interactives allowing digital access to otherwise inaccessible photo albums which provide a truly unique perspective of the First World War.
