In the world of interactive installations, the demand for seamless, multiuser experiences is at an all-time high. Brands, cultural institutions, and corporate innovators are searching for solutions that go beyond simple touch - spaces where objects, gestures, and even personal devices can shape dynamic digital content.
The partnership between DISPLAX, a global leader in projected capacitive (PCAP) touch technology, and Interactive Scape, the creator of Scape X®, marks a breakthrough in how tangible interaction can be deployed at scale. By combining DISPLAX SKIN ULTRA, MESH, and TILE Pro products with the Scape X® AI-based object recognition, integrators can now deliver touch tables that not only detect hands and gestures, but also recognize objects, tools, and even smartphones placed directly on the surface.

Scape X®, developed by Interactive Scape, is the world’s first patented AI-based PCAP object recognition technology. Unlike vision-based systems that rely on cameras or lighting, Scape X® operates invisibly on the same capacitive field as touch.
Key capabilities include:
Unmatched object capacity: 24 IDs standard, scalable to 300+ for demanding, multi-object use cases.
Smartphone recognition: With Scape X® Mobile, the system can identify a phone placed on the table - no app, no pairing, no friction.
Invisible tagging: Ultra-thin, transparent Scape X® Stickers or Tags adhere to objects, enabling unique IDs without affecting design aesthetics.
Multi-object precision: Recognize and track dozens of objects simultaneously, alongside 100+ finger touches.
Gesture awareness: Detects placement, movement, and rotation of objects for natural, intuitive interactions.
Lighting-independent: Works in bright atriums, dim galleries, or any challenging environment where camera systems struggle.
Scalable: Supports seamless multi-unit setups across large surfaces, including video walls and oversized tables.
Patented and refined through years of development, Scape X® gives AV integrators a reliable and future-proof object recognition layer that pairs naturally with PCAP.
