Developed in collaboration with Google, this innovative system promises to revolutionize how stories are created, managed, and shared across various environments.
The Genesis of Feltboard
The partnership between TAIT and Google began in 2020 with a clear objective: to address the complex challenges of managing screens in experiential settings. From lobbies to event venues, and retail spaces to exhibition centers, the need for a cohesive and effective management system became evident. Following extensive development, Feltboard made its highly anticipated debut at Google’s iconic Pier 57 in New York City in 2022. Since then, it has expanded its reach to global campuses, continually enhancing its functionalities.
Empowering Storytellers
Ryan Howard, the Experience Platform Lead at Google, epitomizes the essence of Feltboard when he says, "Sometimes you need to hit play and walk away. Sometimes you need to conduct an orchestra." This platform is designed for storytellers, enabling them to navigate a fully integrated workflow with responsive and generative design tools. Its versatility allows it to adapt to a vast global footprint, catering to a wide range of storytelling needs.
Hybrid Cloud Experience Management System
Feltboard is described as a hybrid cloud Experience Management System (XMS), a solution that streamlines content management while ensuring robust exhibit control across multiple modalities. One of its standout features is the integration of enterprise-grade security, reliability, and scalability, making it suitable for large environments such as theme parks, cruise ships, and stadiums. With Feltboard, organizations can manage content updates effortlessly and ensure a seamless storytelling experience in real-time.
