This platform solution can be provided to the client who will then have the ability to use this software platform as purely the playback and delivery mechanism for all touch screen interface applications

In its basic form the touch4 interactive touch screen solution is the framework that distributes and plays content by switching on other contained modules and media types of service from within the touch4 application software suite

SCHEDULING CONTENT:

Once that you have created your framework and all of the modules that your company would need all that would be needed at this stage of your company development would be the actual data content itself

The content can be a website a flash site Xml data a slide show a set of video data or a bundle of jpegs

All of your company data content can then be scheduled by using the touch4 solutions administrative software tools

Media surface touch4 developers believe that they have now built the core system or 80% of every touch screen application that is currently available for the worlds kiosk touch or passive screens that have so far been deployed in many different countries around the world and they also possess many of their own modules
