Control Systems

TuchUI

Touch Interfaces - TuchUI

TuchUI is our software suite for creating complex interactive touch screen based lighting control solutions.  TuchUI is specifically designed for controlling LightSwarm modules, but can also send commands to other control systems as well.

TuchUI supports Windows based touch screen computers, and can also be used to design Tuch screen applications for Windows based handheld devices and also Apple products such as the iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone.

Features include (*):

• multi-page graphic user interfaces

• triggering of complex time-sequenced lighting events

• embedded web browsers on any assigned pages

• allows users to configure specific lighting color and intensity combinations within the application for special functions such as highlighting apartments that have been sold in different colors.

• supports wired and wireless connections.

When used with architectural marketing models, users can highlight apartments individually, or by type such as apartments of particular size, features, or the number of bedrooms.  Our system allows sales staff to track apartment sales. Apartments can be illuminated in various colors to indicate sales status, and the graphics pages on the touch screens are updated in real time automatically by the system to show which apartments are available, under offer, or sold.

(*) Not all TuchUI features are available on Apple products.
