TOKYO, Japan (PRWEB) September 2, 2005 -- Scala Inc. (www.scala.com), the world’s
leading software platform for digital signage, and LM3Labs, the global
specialist in computer vision technology, today announced at the Sign &
Display Show 2005 in Tokyo (Japan) a joint-marketing partnership in the
Asia-Pacific region and other territories to promote the powerful combination of
LM3Labs’ interactive solutions; Ubiq’window, UbiX and Catch’yoo, and the Scala
InfoChannel® digital signage open platform.
Pioneering with Ubiq’window,
LM3Labs established itself as a leader in imaging technologies to provide the
best solutions in computer vision, interactivity and interactive rich content to
their customers.
With Ubiq’window, any flat surface can be turned into an
interactive screen driven by Scala InfoChannel® 3 for various usages such as
showrooms, window menu-boards, eCommerce-enabled shop windows, museum
interactive display systems etc. With Ubiq’window and Catch’yoo, LM3Labs provide
an impressive vision technology comparable to the interactive system foreseen in
the Sci-Fi feature movie Minority Report. By providing InfoChannel® with
information about surrounding people, crowd movement as well as some ability to
discriminate between children and adults based on target city demographics, the
combination of Scala InfoChannel® and Catch’yoo will enable a fully interactive
system that reacts to the movement of a crowd and single viewers alike for a
more focused message.
"LM3Labs has gained a dominant position on the
computer vision market in Asia," says Nicolas Loeillot, Managing Director of
LM3Labs. "And by leveraging our innovative interactivity technologies and
Scala’s leading software technology and worldwide reseller network, our

technology, this joint-marketing partnership promises to deliver the very best
to our customers."
