The DIGITABLE PLUS is the ultimate in meeting space
technology
Multi-user
technology is the next step in technology. This has been the unshakeable vision
of nsquared for the past eight
years.
Collaboration is a
powerfulagent for productivity.
Well-designed modern workplaces have ‘anchor points’ to encourage planned and
unplanned meetings. These are key to encouraging and harnessing creative team
thinking and organisational innovation.
Eight years of
research, one year of meticulous designing and six months of solid perspiring
has led us to the point where we are today.
And today, we are
excited to announce, marks the launch of our newest and best digital table to
date: the DIGITABLE PLUS.
The DIGITABLE PLUS
has been designed to be the ultimate ‘anchor point’. Researched, designed,
prototyped, and tested to within an inch of our lives here at nsquared. We are
excited to announce that it is now available to purchase for your workplace to
get your collective juices flowing. Start having truly productive meetings.
Work. Together. Better.
Imagine you are
sitting at a restaurant waiting for dinner, and your friend pulls out their
phone. In fact, you probably do not need to imagine this as it is a daily
occurrence for many of us every single day. This can be endlessly frustrating as not
only does it break the flow of conversation but it also builds a barrier
between the two of you as they quickly become distracted; one notification
leading to another. Just like this image from How I Met Your Mother checking Barney's Facebook then needing to check Barney's Instagram. This is true of restaurants; lobbies, schools,
libraries, museums and in almost every public space we suffer the same frustrating
behaviours. This is the digital age however and more than ever we do expect
digital answers.
A table has, and
always will be, the natural place for meetings. We sit ourselves around one to
chat, to eat, to socialise.
The DIGITABLE is a tool to help enrich these
interactions. Instead of pulling out our phones, breaking conversations and
isolating people, a communal screen in the centre of table makes technology a
social activity.
nsquared attractor is the app developed for 360
degree, multi-user ad hoc interaction. With context-relevant content floating
around ready to be engage with, it is a tool to help bring people to a table to
interact with digital content collaboratively and socially. Whether to search
throughinformation as the conversation
progresses, to watch videos of nearby attractions or browse content in a retail
or education space, nsquared attractor is the simple-to-use, sleek application
that puts peoples phones back in their pocket and gets them talking
again.

nsquared
is a small, devoted team of tech & design heads based in Sydney, Australia
that all believe in one thing: more collaboration and sharing will improve our
lives. For this reason, we spend our lives working with and trying to harness
cutting edge technology, whether it be digital tables
or Microsoft Kinect, in order to help bring people
together.
We also realise that
it is a good idea to take a step back to remember why you are really doing
things sometimes. This week we launched a new Introduction to nsquared video to help explain our vision to the world - have a look and
let us know what you think! Conversation is what we love best.
There is no doubt
about it, roaming the swathes of booths at the Sydney Royal Easter Show makes
you feel like a little kid again. All the food, rides, noise, lollies, smells,
food processing units… it's as if the Show hit Ctrl+C from your memory and pasted
itself straight into Olympic Park. This year there is something new, however,
something you might not be expecting…
Lockyer Valley has
decided to add an exciting immersive element to their display. Instead of a
standard PowerPoint scrolling in the background, the folk at Lockyer Valley
have put one of nsquared's digitables at the centre of their stand. An exciting
bit of technology to make anyone feel like a kid again, Lockyer Valley are
using nsquared apps to draw in the crowds. A fun interactive display
of photos, on our nsquared attractor app, of
life in Lockyer Valley, enables the crowds can flip through images at their
leisure. Lockyer Valley has also included a collection of immersive farm games to keep
the hoards of kids busy; nsquared paint, nsquared makewords,
nsquared herding,
and nsquared snap.Check out the photos from the first day of
the event. If you're at the Easter Show this year be sure to come say hi and
check out our digitable!
It's that time of
year again! The Sydney Royal Easter Show is back and bigger than ever! Joining
the excitement this year will be our client Lockyer Valley Regional Council.
Lockyer Valley is a major hub for agriculture in the foothills of the Great
Dividing Range near Toowoomba in Queensland and they are here to show off their
delicious goods.
Lockyer Valley
Regional Council has decided to include nsquared's tabletop software on a
digital table to show off their region with an immersive display. They will be
using our software developed right here in Sydney to display all the rich and
diverse produce coming out of their region. The applications they have chosen
to run include nsquaredattractor, nsquaredpaint, nsquaredmakewords, nsquaredherding, and nsquaredsnap.
Come and see us at the Home Garden and Lifestyle arena at
the Sydney Royal Easter Show between the 26th of March and 8th of April to get
the full nsquared experience!
2015 has seen the
release ofnsquared's new radial shell.
Integrating web, documents, and content sharing has allowed multiple users to
collaborate and share, all at the same time, on the same screen.
We noticed that
users wanted to run multiple apps at once, as apposed to a single purpose app.
Now with our redesigned interface, you can browse the web and present content
simultaneously.
See how Sydney's Novotel, Darling Harbour is using nsquared radial shell
If you want to get
hands on with nsquared's radial shell, get in contact with us and find out if
there is a location near you that has already started using nsquared's new
radial shell.
Each month we send
our existing clients a notification advising them of the new content pack.
Additionally, customers have the option to create content packs themselves
using nsquared's online education admin portal.
Here is a quick
synopsis of these applications:
nsquared
makewords: promote
collaboration and competition by teaching your students how to spell.
nsquared
snap: a
fantastic exercise for the classroom to get young minds thinking and their
memory working.
nsquared
herding: a
multi-user game that teaches object recognition and counting.
nsquared

students is important to you, contact us for more details on 02 9262 3386.
The Porter is
Sydney's exclusive business lounge, located in the CBD. We're very excited to
announce that our new meeting room table is now part of their lounge space as
of this week. Members are free to use the table as a collaborative tool in
their meetings to increase productivity and engagement.
Our
vision is to enable you to gather with your team and work as one. Why not see
for yourself by leaving your personal devices and print outs behind and
experience the difference in engagement first hand?
At nsquared we believe the actions involved in a meeting
are made more efficient when using a digital table.
Here are the
benefits we have already discovered while communicating around our digital
table:
Collaborating.
Working with the
content as well as the people is a crucial part of any meeting.
Brainstorming.
Solving
problems, creating solutions, and conceptualising ideas has never been
easier with the use of a digital table.
Presenting. Creating presentations and
integrating other digital devices has become seamless.
Sharing. Sharing media and documents
with your team can be done with the touch of a finger.
Want to see the
latest nsquared digitable in action?
How important do you
think collaboration is? We've noticed that our personal devices have been
leading us in the wrong direction when it comes to engaging in meetings. They
give off a sense of solitude and seclusion.
Why not turn
presentations into collaborative meetings? Get your clients or colleagues
engaging with the content rather than just presenting it to them. Keep their
attention by creating an emotional attachment between themselves and the
information you're presenting.
Occasionally people
with outstanding presentation skills can keep us focused on the content. Most
of us are not great orators and need a lot of help to keep our audience
engaged.However when you are involved
in working together as a team, you find that you stay focused for longer. The
benefit of keeping people engaged is that everyone participates and remains
focused on the content being discussed. The conversation becomes something that
the participants will recall even when the meeting is over.
Get your hands on a
digital table and watch your meetings become a lot more affective and concise.
Leave your isolating meetings in the past and get collaborating on an nsquared
digitable!
At this time of year
we often think about setting new goals and resolutions, and how this year will
be better than the last.
We at nsquared
believe that we need to use our time efficiently throughout the day. During
meetings our minds can be easily led astray and attention can be lost by
distractions on our personal devices.
To have efficient
and engaging meetings, you need to think about how people are interacting and
engaging with each other as well as the content.
There are a number
of things you can do to help people put their devices away. Here are a few tips
and hints that we live by:
Interesting
Content. One of
the easiest ways to keep people focused is to feed them content that
keeps their ears open and wanting more.
Personal
devices are forbidden. These are high contenders of worst distractions to have at
meetings. Take it from the pros, and leave your tablets, phones and
laptops at your desk next time you go to a meeting.
Invest in an
nsquared digitable. We've managed to keep our meetings exciting by getting our team
collaborating and engaging around a digital table. With a digital table,
you can be assured that all eyes will be focused on the same content, and
interaction levels will go through the roof.
