Project description
We rolled out an interactive signage solution in one of Montreal’s busiest office buildings, namely the Industrial Alliance tower in the heart of the downtown core. The sophisticated, intuitive interface enhances the overall user experience for both visitors and occupants. The screens provide access to an interactive tenant directory and wayfinding system. One of the features that set it apart is that it shows the location of nearby restaurants, hotels, taxi stands, Bixi bike-share stations and bicycle paths. Its particular value is rooted in the integration of the General Transit Feed Specification used by Google. This makes it possible to provide up-to-the-minute metro, train and bus schedules so commuters can instantly see the times of upcoming departures. Also displayed are real-time headlines powered by the La Presse news feed, a map of Montreal’s underground city, the current date and time, and local weather.
