Synthesis Multitouch Collaboration





What is Synthesis?

Synthesis is a cutting-edge interactive platform that supports the highest levels of conceptualization, visualization and collaboration.  It provides a rich collaboration experience for both local and remote users. Using the latest multi-touch technology, users can interact with their documents and data intuitively. Collaborative participants can view multiple documents on-screen at once, allowing for a richer context of information. Connections can be made between content to highlight relationships between documents or data.

Synthesis delivers a powerful, easy to use interface that enables multiple participants to simultaneously connect on-screen data to visually formulate ideas as well as interact with data.  It provides a truly engaging and immersive experience that is perfect for strategic planning, teaching, product development or research.

Why Synthesis?

Synthesis will optimize your workflow and create efficiencies that will shrink lag time between concept and end-result.  It will allow you to extract more out of your meetings and engage your participants on a higher level. The results will be:  more effective research, more informed decisions, more innovative ideas and ultimately getting your people and ideas to execution faster.

Synthesis is about using visual thinking to communicate ideas and the relationships between them while utilizing all the technologies of voice, video, e-mail, and presentation and meeting software together and synthesizing that information in connections you can see.

Pains we solve:

  • Compress time to market
  • Get  more information out of High level meetings
  • Connecting people to the whole experience of the meeting

How does Synthesis work?

Collaboration often times means “many people, lots of information and long hours.”  Synthesis streamlines the collaboration process, shortening the “ideation” phase and getting you to the implementation stage quicker.  Simple translation- spend less time organizing people and information and spend more time working on your solution.

We accomplish this by:

  • Using the latest high definition video-conference technology, Synthesis gives remote users the ability to participate in the collaborative process. Remote users can see and hear both the local audience and the on-screen content through any modern, standards-based video-conference system.
  • Enabling you to access external devices such as laptops and iPods
  • Providing you the ability to connect information and create logical relationships that are easily visualized by all participants.
  • Providing you on-screen annotation tools.
  • Allowing you to save and easily retrieve the “whole” brainstorming process.
  • Allowing you to simultaneously access and interact with multiple assets and file formats.
  • Providing you on-screen annotation tools  and the ability to save notes with projects
  • Allowing participants to access a variety of files and assets including: videos, audio, photos, Office documents and web pages.

Synthesis is most commonly deployed on large-scale (wall-sized) displays. Having a large screen enables a room full of participants to interact and experience the collaborative environment that Synthesis creates. Because Synthesis uses multi-touch and hands-free gestures, a number of configurations are possible including making the large-scale display touch-enabled or having a detached "kiosk" that controls the application from a distance.

The platform best addresses the traditional constraints of minimizing and maximizing multiple windows and generally battling a lack of screen space. With Synthesis, users can freely manipulate a nearly unlimited number of documents and multimedia quickly and easily by resizing them and arranging them on a large screen, all within the same application.

What makes Synthesis different?

Real-time data collaboration and capture.  Any video conference unit these days can share a single screen or document. Synthesis allows users to not just share a document, but share an entire context of documents that all help to clarify and effectively communicate a message.

By capturing the data as it's added to Synthesis, we can provide rich review capability of what occurred during a collaboration session. No longer are the little pieces of insight lost because someone forgot to write it down. We can capture audio, video and on-screen data to provide a historical record of any and all collaborative meetings. This allows businesses to capture, archive and replay the knowledge of their employees which helps with both on-boarding new employees and educating existing ones.

Synthesis provides a next-generation user interface that allows users to interact with their documents and data in an intuitive way. It also supports external equipment to power video conferencing, audio recording and in-room lighting. Synthesis can extract documents and data from a variety of sources and we can customize the application suit your particular data source requirements.

Synthesis is about more than a large or multi-touch screen. It's a platform that is built around enhancing and enriching the collaboration experience. Just as telepresence seeks to enhance remote conversation, Synthesis enhances collaboration around data. Our modern, connected world revolves around data and it's critical that our knowledge workers have tools to interact with it in new, rich, innovative ways.

Who is right for Synthesis?

Do you place a high value on visualizing documents and data while collaborating? If you're still using flip-charts, sticky notes or PowerPoint to run collaborative meetings, Synthesis can help you create that visual context for discussions while keeping your documents digital.

Is remote collaboration a high priority for you? Synthesis provides not just a telepresence (video conference) solution, but real time data collaboration. By having a large screen of data, both your remote and local participants can visualize the meaning you're trying to convey.

Are you looking for a visually impressive way to display multiple file assets at once? Viewing Synthesis for the first time on a large wall-sized screen is jaw dropping. If you're looking for an impressive means of showing off your digital assets, Synthesis provides not only a large presentation medium, but a cutting-edge multi-touch interface.

Ideal clients would have the following attributes:

  • Highly values further enhancing meeting and collaborative productivity
  • Places a premium on getting results in a more timely fashion
  • Highly values cutting-edge technology in the workplace and utilizing it to improve their employees ability to communicate and collaborate.
  • Uses a large amount of data and numerous documents in their collaborative processes and values being able to keep them in context throughout a session.
