At Interactive Scape, we create intelligent multitouch displays that bridge the gap between physical and digital interaction. Central to this is Scape X® - our patented, AI-based object recognition engine. Integrated into our Scape® Tangible displays and tables like the Scape® Pro, Scape® Lab, and Scape® Movable, this technology enables a new level of intuitive, object-driven interaction.
What sets Scape X® apart is that it allows to recognize physical, passive objects in real time using projected capacitive (PCAP) touch technology - without batteries, RFID, or external tracking systems. Each object is instantly identified by the system the moment it’s placed on the display.
This allows for:
Unlike traditional multitouch, which is limited to finger gestures, Scape X® transforms physical objects into digital controls, making the interaction tangible, more precise, and far more memorable.
But to unlock the full communicative and spatial power of this solution, one key component elevates the experience: the second screen.
In all our setups, the second screen performs two essential roles:
Placed prominently, the second screen acts as a visual anchor. Visitors ask, What’shappening over there? - a moment of curiosity that opens the door to interaction. Especially in public or semi-public environments, it significantly lowers interaction inhibition and encourages exploration.
One of the most compelling use cases is the ability to "push" digital content from the multitouch display to the second screen. For example:
This dynamic interaction flow transforms the user's action into a shared, spatially extended digital moment, making the experience feel natural and impressive at the same time.
Depending on your space and goals, there are several options for your second screen:
Whichever solution fits your use case, combining Scape X® object recognition on Scape® Tangible displays with a second screen guarantees greater reach, clarity, and storytelling power.
Second screens excel not just for casual exploration, but also in structured environments like presentations and live demos. E.g., while the speaker interacts with the content on a Scape® Pro table, the audience follows the content as it’s mirrored or extended behind the presenter.
We consistently recommend placing the second screen behind the speaker to unify audience focus and make the narrative more impactful.
Integrating a second screen is easy:
No additional hardware, no complex calibration - just plug in and go.
Combining multitouch tables with a second screen results in more than a visually striking setup - it creates an immersive communication platform. It makes your content tactile, your interactions meaningful, and your message impossible to miss.
At Interactive Scape, we believe in blending the physical and digital to create experiences that inspire curiosity and invite deep engagement. That’s why we always recommend incorporating a second screen into any Scape® Tangible setup - for a presence that’s seen, felt, and remembered.
