Ergonomidesign invited by Microsoft to NRF - retail’s big show in NYC

On Monday January 16, more than 20,000 retail industry professionals will travel to The National Retail Foundation’s (NRF) Annual Convention & EXPO 2012 in New York City, nicknamed “Retail’s BIG Show”. The Expo takes place January 16-17 at The Javits Convention Center and features over 500 exhibitors demonstrating the industry’s most innovative technologies.

During the event Microsoft and Samsung will host a major Microsoft Surface Solution showcase with partner applications, showing off the Microsoft Surface and Samsung SUR40 capabilities. Ergonomidesign is invited to present the awarded Surface application Sonicspree.

Sonicspree, designed by Ergonomidesign and developed by Connecta is a seamless integration of traditional games with real dice into new technology, incorporating multi-user and massive multi-touch. Adding the Spotify music service with over 10 million songs, it offers the possibility of high-level personalization of the game as well as a high quality, limitless music experience. It has been hailed by Fast Company Magazine as one of the top applications for Microsoft Surface and the first version won the Microsoft .NET award in 2009.

“We’ve been looking forward to showing Sonicspree to the retail industry. Shop floors, waiting areas or merchandise display areas are the perfect settings for the Surface technology and an engaging application like this” says Niklas Wolkert, design strategist at Ergonomidesign. “We can think of a dozen ways an application like Sonicspree can boost the customer experience. It offers a truly engaging experience, for single or multiple users, that appeal to all senses.”

Please come visit us at the NRF Expo in the Surface Solutions Room 1A17. We will be happy to show you the fun and engaging Sonicspree in action and tell you more about our take on the future user experience in the retail industry.
