• The University of Calgary is a Canadian research university, ranked one of Canada's Top Eight Research Universities and a member of the 13 Most Research Intensive Universities in Canada.

Technology Used

Ten Horizon Display 70-inch touch monitors, twenty Horizon Display 40-inch touch monitors, sixty Horizon display 12-inch touch monitors

Application

Horizon Display installed 60 12-inch touch monitors outside of the University's digital library study rooms to notify room reservation schedules and availability for minimal interruption. Horizon Display's large format touch screens were used as interactive signage for campus events, alerts and maps in various locations around the University's digital library.

Challenges Overcome

After an overwhelmingly positive response from Calgary students and faculty, the University returned to Horizon Display several months after the competition of the digital library to upgrade their Energy, Environment, Experimental learning facility. They added an additional fifteen 12-inch interactive room reservation wall mounts, fifteen custom metal and 40-inch LCD and two large kiosks.
