At Integrated Systems Europe ISE 2025 in Barcelona, Interactive Scape’s Hauke Helmer introduced their latest innovation, Scape X®. This technology leverages projected capacitive (PCAP) sensors to detect not only touch inputs but also objects and smartphones placed on the display. The system identifies devices based on their unique capacitive signatures, allowing for seamless interaction without any modifications to the devices themselves.

A notable demonstration involved scanning a visitor’s badge to instantly retrieve and display their contact information on the screen. This capability extends to sharing digital content; for instance, placing a company brochure on the display enables immediate transfer of the document to a connected device, streamlining information exchange during events.
The core of Scape X® is its AI-driven recognition system, which processes data from the PCAP sensors to distinguish between various shapes and objects. Unlike traditional gesture-based systems, Scape X® can identify up to 24 different passive object IDs and over 100 simultaneous touch points, including transparent objects. This advanced object recognition facilitates unique interactions and applications across multiple sectors.
Interactive Scape offers a range of hardware solutions, including multitouch tables and displays, all powered by Scape X®. These devices are designed for durability and versatility, making them suitable for various applications. Integration is simplified through the TUIO API, allowing developers to create customized applications that leverage the full potential of the hardware and object recognition capabilities.
In collaboration with partners like DISPLAX, Interactive Scape is exploring new form factors, such as round displays, to offer more playful and engaging user experiences. These prototypes aim to push the boundaries of interactive technology, providing innovative solutions for diverse use cases.
The company also showcased applications like a magnification tool, where users can place an object on the display to zoom into detailed images, such as a map of Barcelona’s harbor. This feature demonstrates the system’s ability to handle complex gestures and provide intuitive user interactions.
Interactive Scape’s business model focuses on providing the hardware and recognition technology, while partnering with other companies for application development and integration. This collaborative approach allows them to offer comprehensive solutions tailored to specific client needs across various industries.
Based in Berlin, Germany, Interactive Scape has established a global partner network to distribute and support their products worldwide. This network enables them to deliver localized solutions and services, ensuring that clients receive the best possible support and expertise in implementing interactive technologies.
