Jupiter // Canvas - Multipoint Visual Collaboration

•

"Mobile first" thinking... from smart phones to desktops to wall displays.

Windows 7 Desktop + Windows Phone 8 + iOS

Collaborative design of Jupiter Systems’ category-defining Canvas™ Multipoint Visual Collaboration enterprise solution (www.jupiter.com/solutions#127) helped Jupiter leapfrog their larger competitors and win a “Best of InfoComm 2012 Award”

"In the distributed, 24-hour exercise that characterizes most business and public sector enterprises, sharing a common operating picture is essential to effective management. Control rooms and operations centers provide a place where managers can gather in front of a display wall to observe, plan and act. But most enterprises rely on the expertise of people who are rarely all in the same place at the same time. How can you extend situational awareness and collaboration to include remote team members, no matter where they are?"

Jupiter Systems is the leading worldwide supplier of display wall processors and their best-of-breed products are designed for continuous, 24x7 operation in control rooms around the world. Jupiter had ideas of what they wanted to create, but they needed help wrestling these ideas to the ground. They also knew that they needed a world-class user experience to help them rise above the growing competition.

Less Ink worked with Jupiter Systems to design the user experience for what would become an industry-shifting visualization and collaboration system for the enterprise that treats any computing device like a display wall, and allows users to easily write/draw/edit and share in real-time on any wall or screen using their new collaborative multipoint visualization software

Canvas allows for networked control and collaboration from nearly any device, from smart phones and tablets to desktops and giant control-room display walls... so we approached this project with a "mobile first" mindset to tightly focus functionality and to ensure usability across a number of devices: Windows 7 Desktop, Windows 8 (Metro) and iOS.

Early reaction to the pre-release version (demonstrated at InfoComm 2012) was unbelievably positive by all accounts. Jupiter's booth was packed each day with interested customers, curious competitors and an extremely happy sales force. We continue to help Jupiter refine the V1 release and anticipate considerable success ahead for Jupiter and their burgeoning Canvas offering!

Canvas™ was the talk of the conference demonstrating how easy it is to write/draw/edit and share in real-time on any wall or screen using their new collaborative multipoint visualization software.

Client quotes:

“Congratulations to you guys and thank you. I don’t think it was just the company that changed this week. I think we may have changed the trajectory of the industry.”

“I had 14 press meetings and all of them said the user experience was better than anything else they had seen in the industry, including display wall solutions, switches, and any other related product.”

“By noon on Thursday, our booth had been visited by the senior execs of all of our largest competitors asking for a demo. I’ve never seen anything like it”

– Brady Bruce, Vice President, Marketing & Strategic Alliances
