Bring color to your digital signage: The Nexmosphere Color Sensor

The Nexmosphere Color Sensor is a creative addition for interactive digital signage applications. The sensor detects the color of objects held against or placed directly on the sensor. The color of the object is reported back to the Xperience controller in the form of easy-to-read serial commands. The values for hue, saturation and lightness (HSL) are transmitted via these API commands.

Creative applications

• Create Place & Learn applications with metal objects - which is not possible with RFID technology - for example with beverage cans or electronics. If the product does not have a unique color, colored stickers can be used on the bottom of the product.
• Other examples from the retail sector include the colour highlighting or labelling of products on the shelves.
• Triggering on-screen visualizations of luxury objects in different colors, such as cars in car dealerships; customers can scroll through options by placing color swatches on the sensor, and have their new car appear in the preferred color on the screen.
• In museums or entertainment areas, triggering color-based digital content can engage even the youngest visitors. For example, advance nutrition education in a fun way by having children place vegetable and fruit replicas on central, plate-shaped platforms where the sensor is installed, triggering exciting content about eating rainbows.

Interactivity made easy

The communicated API commands are used in your digital media player's software to trigger related events, such as triggering or changing content on the screen and changing the animation of your connected LED strips according to the selected color. You can even trigger audio files on connected speakers.
