Datev Interactive Table

2009

Datev is Germany’s leading software company for tax consultants. They wanted to showcase the power of their tools in a completely new and playful way at Germany’s biggest tech show CeBit. In a small team of two – I was the design part, the other the developer – we built an interactive experience on the Microsoft Surface table. The beauty of it was not just the form factor of an actual table with a large touchscreen but also the combination of a physical element with multi-touch gestures on the screen. Hence the experience also enabled more than one person to simultaneously interact with real-time financial data.
