EuroCIS 2022 – Micro Apps

The The Micro Apps is a new feature for all touch applications that can be designed in the digital signage backstore. This allows the user to design interactive solutions themselves - without any programming knowledge. The following applications can be implemented:

• info points
• product advisors
• digital signpost
• the display of online applications
• navigation solutions via interactive maps or menus.

Basically, the areas that are supposed to become interactive (= micro apps) are displayed in combination with a corresponding digital signage promotion. This default promotion can, as usual, display the content stored in its timeline. On the other hand, it has additional content that's available for display in the micro app as activatable zone promotions “in stock”.

First, the individual micro app pages are created. A page is always required to place an interactive element on. The individual areas are defined by creating so-called shapes (polygon, rectangle or circle). An action is then assigned to a shape, which is carried out as soon as the user touches the corresponding area on the display. The areas can optionally be filled with a color.
