Imagine a world where a Kentucky native comes to South Carolina with a Doctorate Degree in Chemical Engineering and worked for the Savannah River Site. One who produced training videos for those scholarly types and loved working outside of the box. You haven’t entered the twilight zone, but you have entered the world of next-generation interactive displays for business.
“All those years of computer support for engineers led me down a different path after I was laid off, Interactive Display Systems founder, Jeff Siler explained. “I discussed with my wife about pursuing what we had been doing and that was the beginning of Interactive Display Systems.”
Everything Siler has done in his life has sparked interest in what can be and what lies ahead. Everything he developed for his company started with the question, “What if?”
“I took what I knew and brought spreadsheets to life and that was just the beginning,” he said. “Once I mastered the video and editing skills, it morphed into multi-media and how that could translate into helping businesses succeed.”
What Siler developed took off during Covid because the pandemic created a virtual world. With more workers than ever before, working virtually or companies interacting with others half a world away, that hasn’t and won’t likely go away.
Shifting through papers, and dealing with multiple cords, plugs, and devices is a headache. It really was all about how to translate what a business does and puts the story or message on an interactive screen.
“Think of it as an interactive kiosk you can take anywhere or email to thousands of customers or potential clients,” Siler said.
It’s more effective than setting up a laptop or tent at an outdoor event or in the middle of a field if you’re coaching a team. After all, isn’t conducting business a lot like coaching? How to run successful plays in business and when to punt is much more effective when you are showing rather than telling.
Interactive Display Systems has a solution for medical, industrial, retail, and corporate information challenges including:
• Digital Signage is an innovative way to present information to your customers and employees. Not only does it declutter your space, but it allows you to display multiple types of content simultaneously.
• Interactive Glass is cutting-edge technology for transforming glass or acrylic surfaces into touch screens that can set your business apart.
• Portable Monitor also known as The Showcase is a rugged alternative to laptops and TVs. It is also customizable and can be set up and ready to use in less than 90 seconds!
• Events and AV Rentals can bring whatever you need to make your event a success and you can utilize our technology to make it memorable!
But wait, there’s more. Siler’s latest innovation for his company is “like being able to touch the cloud and turn it into a screen anywhere you do business. That’s how my latest baby was born. I call it MIK.”
It’s an interactive display kiosk that delivers:
- Weatherproof touchscreen
- Bright monitor – 4,000 nits (highway billboards are 6,000 nits)
- Webcam
- Soundbar
- Removable/reversible signage (backsides can be used as whiteboards)
