IML Launches the Next Generation of Interactive Event
Technology
Audience response systems reach a new level delivering a ‘meeting
in a box’
IML, the global leader in interactive event technology, today
launches a new audience participation device, the IML Connector.
With a variety of features not seen in this marketplace before, the
device’s capabilities go beyond voting to provide a totally new
level of interactive engagement for attendees at events of all
types.
In response to event producer demands, the IML Connector is
designed to reduce the amount of hardware that attendees often
require to fully participate in events. It combines, in a single
handheld device: instant voting with fully configurable menus and
choices, plus AV capabilities including simultaneous
interpretation; “push to talk” and queuing functionality that
allows attendees to ask questions without waiting for the roving
microphone; multiple audio channels and a portable PA system to
enable sound reinforcement without the need for external
speakers.
Rather than the industry-standard alpha-numeric keypad, the IML
Connector has a QWERTY keyboard and an OLED color screen for
multimedia and high resolution graphics, enabling longer and more
detailed question and answer sessions. The device even contains an
accelerometer to detect tilt and orientation – so it could be used
to capture an actual show of hands.
The IML Connector is specifically designed to cater any meeting or
event from 10 to 10,000 attendees using a single audience response
platform, either as an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution that can be
managed cost-effectively and set up almost immediately, or as a
fully tailored solution for very specialized situations. IML will
be making the device available to AV specialists as well as working
directly with customers to provide service and support alongside
the system itself.
Richard Taylor, the CEO of IML, said: “Participants and hosts of
all types of events are asking us for more and more interactivity.
At the same time they also want it to be even simpler to set up and
use, and the IML Connector meets the demand of this emerging
market.”
The IML Connector was officially unveiled at the Confex
Exhibition at Earls Court in London on February 23rd – 25th. For
