elevate DIGITAL [1], Chicago-based developer of smart, street-level interactive technology, announced today that it will show several of its new technology capabilities during the Internet of Things World Forum [2] taking place in Chicago, October 14 – 16, 2014.
[3]These new features will allow information to easily pass between elevate DIGITAL software and the user’s mobile device.
“elevate is transforming traditional methods of communication, by enabling Cities to engage with people and devices,” says George Burciaga, founder and CEO of elevate DIGITAL. “Content, ads, services and technology now have a voice and create engagement with constituents. Our platform represents the next generation of social interaction at the street level, while contributing to a connective eco-system.”
Available through its interactive platform, elevate DIGITAL combines interactive applications and connective messaging with social and mobile integration, enabling the highest level of engagement. During the IoT World Forum, elevate will showcase new features that include:
- Mobile content sharing – which enables a mobile application installed on the users’ mobile phone to speak with the elevate DIGITAL display;
- Mobile handoff – whereby a mobile app installed on the user’s device can pull the content that is being shown on the unit so the user can take it with them. Additionally, the user can send content to the display;
- Proximity based greeting – whereby, when users with the IoT mobile app installed walk near the elevate DIGITAL display, they will see a customized greeting;
- Emergency alerting – whereby, in an emergency situation, messaging will be shown on the elevate displays.
These new services advance future implementation of smart technology and create a completely unique and immersive experience for cities and their constituents. By implementing the elevate solution, cities will deploy street-level apps, allow mobile phones to talk to other devices, offer new safety services, develop new formats of data and evolve a new culture.
elevate DIGITAL has active deployments across the country and will cover the top 25 major metropolitan markets by the end of 2014.
