In 2009, BSL was asked to create a so-called ‘Digital Showcase’ – Rotunda. The goals: promote sales in bookshops, and encourage lending in libraries. How? By presenting books, CDs, and other media in an attractive and innovative way, using touchscreens. Using these screens, library and bookstore visitors can browse through virtual bookshelves – simply using hand gestures. Rotunda was born. (more…)
PCM (newspaper publishers), needed a solution to help picture editors to select the best press bureau images. They needed a single search interface – independent of the source, format, or language used to describe each photo. To meet their needs, we developed their Photo Editorial System based on FRS… (more…)
The VAN EyCK image archive is a cultural online service. It was introduced by the VAN EyCK foundation in Leiden, and developed by BSL. The name is an acronym for ‘Visual Arts Network for the Exchange of Cultural Knowledge’. The system provides access to a virtual museum of still images and catalogue records. A database describing a vast range of art objects, artists from different time periods and genres, and from different art institutes. BSL played a major role in the project. First developing a prototype, and later creating the database and website. (more…)
ESA (European Space Agency) is a collaboration between 18 European countries in the field of space technology. The Dutch-based ESTEC (European Space Research and Technology Centre) is responsible for applications used in telecommunication- and observation satellites, and launch installations. Effective Risk Management is essential in the space industry. BSL was asked to develop a Risk Visualization System (RVS) on behalf of ESA/ESTEC. The main goals: to minimize risks, managing all safety information and ‘site records’ within a single integrated system. (more…)
Laboratory workers at the Academic Medical Centre (AMC) in Amsterdam used a standard “off-the-shelf” application to register laboratory test results. BSL was asked to add medical scans and images to the test results and link them to other patient details…
We love a challenge, and produced a design for a custom Apple application that integrates a wide variety of image material (scans, graphs and more) with the test results. We developed the AMC image bank, a high performance network database that links the images to patient details using a hidden terminal interface to their existing Oracle software. (more…)
