The Solution

Oxford Integration was tasked with developing and delivering the second phase of exhibits at the Solar Innovation Center, focusing on increasing visitor engagement and interactivity. The centerpiece of this phase was the Digital Guestbook, a custom-designed interactive experience. 

The digital guestbook features a 55-inch interactive screen where visitors can annotate over pictures taken at a smart camera station, doodle freely, or leave personal messages. Using high-end graphics and a custom-designed interface, the software offers intuitive controls, allowing users to adjust colors and stroke width, making the interaction both fun and creative. 

The solution also integrates an i7 NUC mini-PC to power the system, providing fast and reliable performance for a seamless user experience. The physical design of the kiosk is sleek and modern, with a glossy white finish that complements the surrounding exhibits. 

The software was developed with an emphasis on user experience, creating a visually appealing and engaging platform where visitors can spend time creating their unique messages and artwork. As part of the design, a custom overlay branding the content with the Innovation Centre’s theme adds a personal touch. 

Futureproofing the system, Oxford Integration also designed the guestbook to be expandable, with future integrations such as QR code support and a photo printer for enhanced interactivity.
