last |next  About Total Control

Here at Total Control, we love our work almost as much as our clients love the work we do!

We are passionate about beautiful video, sound and hardware - but we have to contain our enthusiasm for fear of being misinterpreted as salesmen!

We do not employ any sales staff at all.

When our engineers visit your property, they will listen carefully and ensure that they fully understand your vision of what you want to achieve. The people you meet will be the same people who will install the equipment so you'll never have the problem of a salesman promising the earth and then the engineer telling you that it can't be done! We are a small independent company and have no allegiance to any particular manufacturer. This gives us total flexibility with our choice of equipment.

Set to revolutionise the high street; the Perception Intelligent Window combines the convenience of the internet with the physical presence of the high street shop.

Visitors in the street are able to select and view pictures, details and video simply by tapping the activated sections of the glass! Just as a mouse is used with a computer, so the tap of finger is used with the Perception Intelligent Window.

Our package of specially calibrated vibration sensors can be fitted to most existing retail display windows. Add a high quality multi-media projector and a sheet of Nexy rear projection film bonded to the glass, or a large flat plasma screen behind the window, and you'll have the most exciting window presentation ever!

We tailor the system to your own requirements and leave the software with you allowing images and files to be changed at will.

The opportunities that this system opens up are far reaching; Travel Agents, Video Rental outlets, Mobile phone retailers etc. can fully display their entire portfolio of products and provide any information to potential customers whilst they are standing outside the shop!

The convenience of the internet with the
physical presence of the high street shop.

The example here shows an Estate Agent window. Visitors in the street are able to select and view pictures, details and video of any property simply by tapping the activated sections of the glass.

The areas of sensitivity are programmed and calibrated on site by our technicians and need not be contained within the area of the projected image or flat screen display. This allows other signs or cards displayed in the window to be programmed as interactive buttons.

The window sensors can detect to location of a finger tap to within 10mm² and are effective on toughened glass windows of up to 10 square metres!

Fully installed systems are available now from under £10,000 + VAT

New equipment is being developed continually and here at Total Control we like to take advantage of the latest technology. The Nexy-film™ manufactured by China Display is one such product.

Total Control has installed the first window display of its kind in London for our client 234 Dental Care.

Using a ceiling mounted projector, a 2 metre image is displayed on the shop front attracting attention from all around.

Colney Hatch Dental Surgery

In a small reception area, our client was concerned that the constant TV in the waiting area would be intrusive. The solution was a 20" LCD screen fitted on the wall close to the receptionist but with no sound connected. A carefull arrangement of three small speakers was fitted at head height to the seated clients in the waiting area.

This allowed the volume to be turned down low whilst still being very effective for the clients. The result was a very relaxed ambiance. It wasn't clear where the sound was coming from but all those seated received perfectly clear narration to the discrete video being shown.
