“iFrame responds to the slightest signal of your finger. The beholder enters virtual worlds like through a window and navigates intuitively. Applications are controlled by an invisible light curtain on every type of display. iFrame can be installed at any desired distance to the display; thanks to its flexibly adaptable dimensions and design, it can be individually employed for various purposes. It can be used for the presentation of product portfolios, services, urban planning projects, and buildings. In museums or exhibitions, iFrame may be used as an info tool, while in shopping malls or train stations it may function as an attractive orientation aid. iFrame transforms digital applications into unique experiences also in retrospect. There are hardly any limits to the ways it can be used. Plunge into virtual worlds as if they were your natural environments! This non-touch device enables you to design virtuality with a finger or with both hands. Only dreaming is easier!” (Oliver Irschitz)
