INDIANAPOLIS – For years, predictions have been made about how virtual reality and other tech innovations will revolutionize the workplace. That time has come, according to Sensory Technologies, which is hosting a 2018 Technology Showcase Tour & Roadshow on May 9.

The event will include hands-on demos of modern AV & IT technology and real-life examples of how companies are incorporating them into their growth strategies. Timed tours, which will run from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., will be held in a 36-foot state-of-the-art mobile experience center and inside Sensory Technologies’ headquarters at 6951 Corporate Circle.

“We often hear how technology is transforming the workplace. However, for many business leaders, it can be difficult to grasp how all this technology can impact their company’s bottom line,” said Derek Paquin, principal for Sensory Technologies. “This showcase gives them an opportunity to test out technologies like augmented reality, wayfinding digital signage and virtual collaboration – tools other companies are effectively using to enhance productivity, employee engagement and customer service.”
Attendees who register for the free tours will be able to engage in hands-on experiences with various types of technologies that support organizational alignment through stronger unified communication strategies.

“When you take advantage of experiences like this, you can start visualizing how technology can make a difference in key areas of your operations,” Paquin added. “And it’s not just major corporations that are exploring this technology. It’s cost-effective for small- to mid-sized businesses, especially when the solutions are offered as a service.  Many companies realize immediate cost savings. And it’s not just about hardware. Our video production and consultative services are really growing.”

NEWS RELEASE
March 15, 2018
INDIANAPOLIS – Rarely does anyone want to do a “happy dance” when asked to make a significant change in the way they do things. Yet, today’s employees regularly face that challenge in a rapidly evolving, technology-focused work environment.

As part of a luncheon hosted by IndyCREW, Stephanie R. Stilson, PhD, EMBRACE™ Strategist for Sensory Technologies, will speak on “Embracing Change, Enhancing Your Business Culture.” The event is 11:15 a.m. – 1:15 p.m., April 17 at the Marriott North in Indianapolis.
“With the introduction of new technologies in the workforce, effective change management has emerged as one of the most important goals organizations face,” said Stilson, a cognitive development psychologist. “It’s also one of the most challenging. There’s a natural tendency for us to perceive change negatively – even when we realize it’s for our own good.”
Stilson will discuss how organizations can gain a broader understanding of how to apply change management more effectively, while keeping in mind the factors that cause employees to resist change in workflows, strategies, technologies and other workplace initiatives.
As an EMBRACE™ Strategist for Sensory Technologies, Stilson uses her psychology background to consult organizations on how to embrace the changes that must take place to stay competitive in the future. She focuses on the communication strategies that will help define organizational success. Sensory Technologies specializes in emergent visual technology, including digital signage, videoconferencing, collaboration experiences and audiovisual solutions, that amplifies organizational collaboration and enhances engagement with internal and external audiences.
IndyCREW, a resource and referral network in commercial real estate, is an affiliate chapter of the Commercial Real Estate Women Network.

The IFMA Facility Fusion Conference & Expo, which is March 20-22 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago, also features sessions on innovative workplace design, technology trends and effective outsourcing.

“With five generations currently in the workplace, all with significantly different ways of processing information, many companies are challenged with how to effectively communicate with them,” Stilson said. “As part of the presentation, we will explore the changing expectations associated with internal communications, and offer an experiential learning model that organizations can use to successfully promote generational knowledge transfer.”
According to Brisk, it’s critical that organizations develop a strategy that allows for effective knowledge transfer among the multiple generations of employees that make up today’s workforce.
“It’s important to realize that today, more than ever, your employees all have very different ways of processing information and learning new skills,” Stilson added. “By addressing those differences with the right strategy and technology, you can increase the likelihood that critical knowledge will be captured, shared and preserved. It ensures that you will have a more engaged workforce, as well as better continuity of culture, business agility and market adaptability.”

NanoLumens recognizes Sensory Technologies for creative implementation of Chicago Aon Center project

/in , , /by

ATLANTA, GA – Just weeks after gaining international recognition for its interactive LED visualization solutions, NanoLumens announced Sensory Technologies as one of the winners of its own annual awards competition.
In honoring Sensory Technologies with its NanoLumens Crystal Nixel™ Award, NanoLumens cited the partner company with creative implementation of two massive NanoLumens® LED displays in the Aon Center, one of Chicago’s most iconic skyscrapers. The highly visual digital display measures a total of 840 square feet.
The floor-to-ceiling video wall greets visitors in the building’s south entrance with stunning video images of Chicago. “This is a visual experience unlike anything else in Chicago,” said Joe Hynes, Senior VP of Project Management at JLL, the property management firm for the Aon Center. “It’s so enthralling that people, including tenants, are constantly stopping to take selfies and videos and sharing them on social media.”
As a partner for NanoLumens, Sensory Technologies, an audio visual solutions provider, installed the two 42’w X 10’h 4mm pixel pitch displays as part of the Aon Center’s renovation of its lobby and atrium. Combined, the two displays create a single, ultra-wide visual display.
The partnership on the Aon Center project was seamless, according to Andrew Sellers, technical operations principal at Sensory Technologies. “From an installation perspective, the learning curve for NanoLumens products was extremely intuitive,” he said. “We’ve worked with NanoLumens before in Chicago, and we know that NanoLumens’ solutions minimize complications on large projects.
Sensory Technologies, headquartered in Indianapolis, Ind., has extensive experience with emergent technology, including large matrixed displays, digital signage, video conferencing, immersive environments and collaborative solutions that elevate messaging and engage audiences. The company also is at the leading edge in installing innovative options like gesture-based interactivity and 3D and curved visual orientations.

INDIANAPOLIS – With the commercial AV installation business projected to hit $4.27 billion by year’s end, Sensory Technologies is among the companies earning national recognition for leading in this area of the tech industry.

Sensory Technologies, an Indianapolis-based company with 133 employees, landed in the No. 32 spot on the Top 50 Systems Integrators List, which is released annually by System Contractor News (SCN). Sensory Technologies, which projected $38.5 million in revenue for 2017, specializes in design, integration, managed services support and cloud-based solutions, including those for audio-visual, telepresence, digital signage, virtual collaboration and video content management.

“Bicentennial Experience” Mobile Museum Infused with Technology from Sensory Technologies and VisionThree

/in , , /by

Sensory Technologies partners to create a memorable immersive experience that will tour Indiana as part of the bicentennial celebration.

Sensory Technologies and VisionThree, both headquartered in Indianapolis, are known for their unique approach to designing experiences through the use of technology and creative elements. The Bicentennial Experience, a technology-infused mobile museum unveiled last Friday at the Indiana State Fairgrounds by the Indiana Office of Tourism Development (IOTD), is the most recent example of their partnership.

Hoosier visitors are encouraged to reminisce and dream as they interact with several captivating touch displays, customized programming, compelling visual imagery, and immersive audio – all featuring iconic Indiana sights and sounds. The seamless integration of audio-video capabilities and interactive design allows for a rich story to emerge within the mobile unit.

“We were honored to support this important, memorable project for the state’s bicentennial celebration,” said Derek Paquin, partner at Sensory Technologies. “Using technology in novel ways to engage people, to evoke emotions, can be extremely powerful. It’s exciting to give visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in Indiana’s past, present and future – and then leave with a stronger connection to the State.”

The self-contained mobile unit will visit communities across the state making stops in many of the places on the bicentennial torch relay route.

Inside The Bicentennial Experience are 6 different exhibits areas.

From Indiana’s stunning landscapes and waterways, to its most precious natural resources, visitors will encounter some of the state’s most prolific assets in Indiana Treasures. An interactive touchscreen invites them to dig deeper into Indiana’s environments.

Also, visitors can learn about the people who put Indiana on the map in the Indiana Leads exhibit.

Indiana Grows will bring to life Indiana’s unmatched agricultural heritage. It will also heighten every visitor’s sense of smell with a mystery scent station featuring Indiana produce.
Hoosiers are born makers and doers. In Indiana Inspires, visitors will meet notable Hoosiers through a visual touch screen database.

Indiana Innovates is an artifact display case that shows items invented by Hoosiers, made by people from Indiana or built with Indiana products.

Indiana Unites is the finale. The last experience is a powerful video showcasing Indiana’s virtues and illustrating Hoosiers coming together during this time of celebration.
