Kiosks with HTML5 3D≠ BERLIN Stand: Kiosks with HTML5
Cool Vegas 3d-berlin is providing the wayfinding for ISE on 12 kiosk systems at the show
Indoor navigation specialist 3d-berlin will only be developing kiosk applications for its partners with HTML5. The companyí s desktop and mobile applications have been using HTML5 exclusively since 2011, but its kiosk systems have used Adobe Flash to date. Adrian Zentner, company MD and founder, said: ì Thanks to HTML5, our partners will continue to be free to choose the browser platform for their systems. Our developers are also pleased about this step because HTML5 and Web Components offer significantly more design fl exibility than Flash, plus it allows them to implement sophisticated surfaces with less effort.î Flash was once the de facto standard for interactive multimedia applications. Adobe announced in 2017 that it would cease support and that it would stop publishing updates for the Flash Player from 2020 onwards. 3d-berlin is providing the wayfind ing for ISE 2019 as a mobile application, on the ISE website and on 12 kiosk systems at the show.
