Window.i was released today at The Digital Signage Show Europe by PointandPress, a software programming company. The modular system uses low-energy touchpanels to enables users to control menus and access information through glass windows.

The windows are just now moving from a pilot project from the Glasgow (Scotland) City Council to a full rollout. PointandPress' Simon Court said security is the biggest issue with U.K. deployments, as vandalism is common with digital signage projects in public spaces. The Window.i solutions in Glasgow are housed in pod enclosures to minimize damage to components.
The LED-lit touch panels are placed on the inside of glass windows and connect via USB cable to a screen behind the windows. Screens have the option of being high-brightness models to improve viewing under high ambient light conditions.
