ISE 2016 is almost upon us and the @coodart team have been compiling lists of folks to see and products that we want to get our hands on. Amsterdam bound tomorrow. Unfortunately, “ik spreek niet goed Nederlands” :)

See you at ISE 2016 next week!! Looking forward to another great show!

Microsoft Surface Hub demo at ISE 2015 showing split screen apps and very responsive touch

Pexip continue to add new features and customers. At ISE2015 they announced a new partnership with Ricoh to add a Pexip app into Ricoh's VC hardware.

The Surface Hub from Microsoft runs Windows 10 Embedded and can run Windows Apps. It comes with an intelligent pen, supports MiraCast and also has ports to plug a PC in to share content - here a Surface Pro 3 is displaying a PowerPoint. Much like the LRS the Surface Hub is both a resource in Exchange, for booking, and has it's own Skype for Business account.

The 55" Giant iTab conjures up lots of ideas related to demos of iPhone apps and possible training scenarios. It's immense and utilises Iiyama PCAP displays.

Cisco Telepresence still commands the amazing user experience category and the product continued to evolve and get slicker. Bringing this level of integration and UX to smaller rooms and for significantly less cost will be the next big challenge.

Iiyama's new 46" Projected Capacitive touchscreens have ushered in a new era of very affordable large format touch displays. Pricing of this model and the 55" display are very competitive.

Displays for in store retail proved to be an enormous theme. Samsung, NEC, LG and smaller players such as Vestel, Delta etc. all showing off impressive mock up content.

The Surface Hub from Microsoft got a lot of interest. The prototype units on display still had a few software issues but the 3D model demo app that was running on several of the units was super fluid and fast. Promises to be a very interesting alternative to LRS and SmartBoards.

Great to see that display stand manufacturers are taking more of an interest in design and aesthetic. Vogels have produced a very handsome unit that can hold both camera and soundbar.

Some great new products from NEC

Great easel stand stand holding an NEC touchscreen display. Creates a wonderful canvas effect

Microsoft Surface Hub. Mightily impressive. Great user experience. No details on availability or pricing yet though.

A seriously giant iPhone (with multitouch). The iTab.

#LifeSize Icon Flex - the first one we've had the opportunity to see in the flesh. A high-end camera solution for Lync meetings.

Integrated Systems Europe 2015 is here and starts tomorrow. The coodart team are packing their bags and getting ready for what promises to be a great event. We're looking forward to seeing our partners and great friends LifeSize, RMG Networks, vBrick, NEC, Barco, Iiyama, Encoded Media, Kramer and AMX. It's going to be a hectic few days!
