Studio 5 division created to help grow the interactive experience marketplace

Lake Forest, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/22/2014 -- Horizon Display announced that they have taken their software and application offerings, once bundled under the Horizon Display name, and created its own division. The name of the resulting brand is Studio 5 and can be found at www.multi-touch.com

"We felt that we had reached a point in the maturity of our software and application development services which justified separating it from our long standing hardware and custom engineering brand. We want our customers to know that we are fully committed to their touch screen hardware needs, and so eliminating confusion was a top priority," explained GM, Matthew Cutone.

Studio 5 is still managed by the core ownership group which has overseen the growth of Horizon Display. The synergy between the divisions is expected to be vital to the success of existing and new customers. However, customers now have the flexibility of choosing their hardware, while still receiving the creative direction and touch screen software experience they expect.

"It's quite simple really. We want to help grow the interactive experience marketplace, and we want to be leaders in the ideation and standards that make for a successful user experience. But we didn't want our customers to feel that their hands were tied. Now we can offer the leadership, design expertise, and most importantly the focus on connecting business objectives with touch technology, all while staying truly agnostic to which touch device our customers prefer, or may already have invested in," added Creative Director, Stephen Gladden.

Studio 5 is committed to three areas: large multi-touch experiences, interactive digital signage, and interactive data visualization.

"We chose these areas of focus because we firmly believe if done correctly, and done with human experience in mind, that they can all drive real measurable business benefit to our customers. Making those dollars and cents connections is crucial to our realization and theirs," said Mr. Cutone.

A spokesperson urged prospective customers to visit Studio 5, "If you're interested in growing your interactive strategy and have an idea which needs nurturing and visionary leadership to help it grow, please visit Studio 5 today, and start by submitting an online Solutions Brief™. The questions in there are meant to help shape an idea into a vision, and transform a vision into a tangible investment. It's where all Studio customers begin their journey."

Horizon Display has created a multi-touch screen kiosk called the Black Diamond- a next generation display kiosk with top quality visuals and sound to engage customers in new ways.

Lake Forest, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2013 -- The history of communication of the human species has progressed from stone tablets through pen and paper to the printing press and then the keyboard, culminating in the touch screen, which has not only changed how we communicate but how we interact. Horizon Display create interactive multi touch kiosks which offer the same functionality as an iPhone or iPad but with customized software and supersized displays ideal for corporate and consumer environments. They have just released their latest creation, the Black Diamond kiosk.

The Black Diamond kiosk is a new version of a large multi touch kiosk from Horizon Display. The displays are multi touch and designed to feel intuitive to iPhone or iPad users. The devices also have built in speakers with fantastic sound reproduction, and can be customized to function as anything from an interactive catalog to a dynamic user responsive sign to an active resource center.

The Black Diamond uses the very latest technology and are professionally customized for the concept or brand in question, offering easy navigation and full compatibility with Windows 8 Apps, together with live performance tracking based on custom objectives. The kiosks even meet the Americans with disabilities act (ADA) standards.

A spokesperson for Horizon Displays explained, "The kiosks were recently placed in Toys R Us stores which look like a supersized iPhones or iPad. Toys R US shoppers were then able to use the kiosks to find whatever toy they were looking for together with additional information and pricing, making the shopping experience easier than ever. If the toy was not in stock, users could then order it from the kiosk to be delivered. Because of the smooth software and interactivity, the kiosks were also popular with the children themselves as a means of discovering new toys. This is just one application of this highly adaptable tool."
