1 Stor eller controller application

And te followin" 3rd part software:1 8lo+al I!a"ination Stor eller application

e ser interface application allows te visitors to directl interact wit te e9i+it tro" te ioss. e serinterface application consists of for screens:

1. i1: attract screen2. i2: !en screen3. i3: "lo+e control screen4. i4: local content screen

e server / displa application passes infor!ation to te appropriate co!pter +ased on ser and sste!!essa"es and also places te correct !edia on te 326 displa screens.

e 8lo+al I!a"ination Stor eller application controls te (a"ic )lanet sperical displa. It is a tird partapplication wit its own ser !anal.

e Stor eller controller application is a +rowser7+ased application tat interfaces te 8lo+al I!a"ination Storeller application wit te rest of te e9i+it software.

e csto! software is driven + an e9ternal ;( file data+ase sste!. e data+ase creates and stles teapplications displa o+,ects incldin" te laot and content i!a"es and te9t of te displa.
