Kenziko are thrilled to have been involved in BBC World’s new interactive show ‘Outside Source’ which launches today at 18:00 GMT.

The BBC’s in-house design team used the Kontact(tm) touchscreen solution for vizrt to produce an ambitious touchscreen system incorporating headlines, still images, video clips, live video sources, social media and maps.

Outside Source makes use of a U-Touch touchscreen overlay which has been fitted over the BBC’s existing screen. Our Kontact(tm) solution allows the overlay to communicate with a Vizrt graphics engine over the internal network, and provides the designers with core touchscreen controls to handle common gestures.

Data for the screen is handled by Viz Content Pilot templates developed by the BBC’s own team.

We think Outside Source is a bold and ambitious use of touchscreen technology, and we’re proud to have helped the BBC achieve their goals.
