‘Kidz’ Template Wins Crestron Integration Award

Guifx design partner, T&T Communications, was awarded first place in the Creative GUI Award at the Crestron Integration Awards 2008.

T&T received the Creative GUI accolade from Crestron in recognition of their graphic design work in creating a touchpanel template which is designed specifically for children.

The template, Kidz, was designed to fill a gap in the market for a touchpanel interface which would appeal to younger children and be as simple as possible to use, particularly in a bedroom or playroom environment.

Mike Benton, designer of the Kidz template said; ‘We are very pleased to have received this prestigious award. It recognizes our efforts at T&T to create unique and engaging interface designs that not only look great but provide the basis for functional and intuitive control.’

Kidz is currently available as a template for the Crestron platform in 320×240 and 640×480 resolutions.

   Congratulations. This template is definately a great idea. Many people are intimidated by the sharp design of a touch screen. A template like this softens it up enough for many demographics.

   Is it possible to develop this for at least an RTI T-4? It also has a 640 x 480 resolution. This would be a great fit, especially in my customer base and household. Thanks.

   Thanks Vincent, your comments are greatly appreciated. We’re currently looking towards creating templates for RTI in the future, and Kidz will certainly be on our priority list.
