Datasheet

Charvet Digital Media has introduced its latest product, iGirouett, a digital signage system with a display that can be personalised in real time. It moves just like the world around us, pointing out places, events and points of interest. iGirouette can provide information on distances to be travelled, forms of transport to use and remaining journey time.

After four years’ research and development, the directional and connected signage system, iGirouette, is available for sale throughout Europe from January 2017.

What is iGirouette?
iGirouette is a device made up of a mast with two rotating arrows, each of which can rotate 360°. Each arrow is fitted with LED screens on both sides. iGirouette is connected to the internet (either via a GMS chip or directly via a network cable) and is remotely controlled via an online platform.

iGirouette can be used to:

Display real-time information about events
Give directions for tours
Calculate journey time to a given destination while recommending the most suitable mode of transport

Key applications:

City centres
Exhibition centres
At sports or cultural events
At demonstrations

iGirouette represents a new era in signage: not only is it connected and digital, it is also linked to social networks and mobile apps, enabling it to display personalised information, fully tailored to each user on demand. By optimising visitor flows at sites open to the public, it provides positive visitor experiences and tours.

iGirouette has won the following awards:

Innovation Star Prize 2017 from the ‘Observeur du Design’ (Paris, France, December 2016)
‘Observeur du Design 2017’ label (French national label for design, September 2016)
