Intuiface 7 has launched 🚀! Missed the news?
Come on. There's no way you haven't heard. Well, if you've only just found out about Intuiface....
Back on 23-September, we launched the long-awaited - and very much now loved - Intuiface Version 7. As we like to joke, when you change the integer in a version number, it's a big deal.
What made Intuiface Version 7 a big deal? First, with it, we introduced Player Next Gen, a brand new runtime technology that is not only far more resource-efficient and scalable on existing Player-supported platforms, but also so damn cool that it enables Intuiface experiences to run in a webpage or as a Progressive Web App. There's nothing else like it on the market.
Then there is our new Headless CMS, a cloud-hosted content management system enabling Content Managers - even those with zero understanding of Intuiface - to define the data structures and manage the content that feeds running Intuiface experiences. Why "headless"? It's because the data structures and content stored in our CMS are UI-independent and thus could be used across multiple experiences. As we said, no Intuiface knowledge is required.
Finally, we've repackaged our features so that everyone, regardless of their Platform tier, can use virtually everything one can do with Intuiface. This "democratization" of features takes the breaks off your creativity and potential for your projects.
If this isn't news to you - good! We've done our job. But if it is news, or if you'd like a refresher, click the button below for more detail.
Our First Trade Show in Two Years: ISE 2022
Meet us - masked, we suspect - in February 2022 at the largest A/V event in Europe!
Ok, this is it. This is where we plan to reenter the world of tradeshows. At ISE 2022 in Barcelona, we'll be hosting a big booth with lots of hands-on demos and a staff of passionate Intuiface experts eager to get out of the house and meet you at a safe distance.
Of course, you can expect multiple demonstrations of both Player Next Gen and the Headless CMS. In fact, by that time we'll have rolled out a lot more in the way of capability for both so the show will be a good opportunity for you to speak with us savvy veterans about how to use everything to their potential.
The button below will take you to our Event page. We'll use that page to keep you updated about our plans and progress. You can also use it to book 1:1 time while on the show floor. Bookmark the page. We'll be super excited to see you in Spain!
Intuiface + Samsung Partnership
The Intuiface value proposition has made it exceedingly attractive to Samsung in support of their new Kiosk hardware.
When Samsung launched their new Kiosk hardware back in June - a low-cost all-in-one ordering and payment system - Intuiface was listed among their select group of partners. Why Intuiface? Because it's the only solution on the market enabling the no-code creation of interactive experiences - with peripheral and payment gateway integration - for the Tizen operating system. In other words, if you want to do anything not possible with a prebuilt template from other Samsung Kiosk partners, it was Intuiface or expensive custom development.
Our two companies' relationship has grown since the launch. Intuiface has and continues to meet with and educate multiple Samsung sales and technical teams around the world, enabling them to promote Intuiface for rapid, cost-effective delivery of bespoke experiences for the Kiosk. Out latest engagements? Two sessions with Argentina-based Samsung integrators on 27-October, and a featured speaker at the Samsung 2021 SSSP Tizen Summit in late November.
Does the Samsung Kiosk sound interesting for one of your projects? Check out our landing page about Intuiface's Kiosk support and then get in touch with your Intuiface Account Rep. While on that page, check out our "Custom Coding vs. Intuiface" video. Can you tell which experience is Intuiface running on Tizen?
The Kiosk is an excellent entry point for kiosk-based interaction with audiences, and Intuiface is the ideal solution for building the content.

Latest Intuiface Academy Course 🎓 - Headless CMS
That new Headless CMS we've been talking about? We've put together a free course for it in our Academy.
You don't need to be reminded about the Intuiface Academy, right? Of course you've been using it. Good! Then maybe you've already seen that we added a Headless CMS course to the Academy when we launched Intuiface 7.
Like all Intuiface Academy courses, the Headless CMS course is free. Totally free. All you need is an Intuiface account and some free time. Hosted by our expert of experts, Seb Meunier, you'll learn everything you need to start using this innovative, super easy, super powerful CMS right away.
For those of you who know a little about Intuiface and have perhaps dabbled with things like Excel or Airtable to manage content outside of Intuiface, you need to take a look. A major design point for our development of the Headless CMS was to provide a better solution than options like those two and we think we've pulled it off. Let us know!
Market Coverage and Reaction to Intuiface 7
In other words, people love us!
Well, the journalists can't go that far. What they tell us in secret is a different story, but publicly they have to pretend that we're just objectively newsworthy. The following two items are notable as they're a bit editorial in nature:
Our users were more forthcoming in their praise. We'll keep the extreme examples to ourselves as it'd just be too embarrassing for their spouses to read such expressions of love. Here's just a small example of the ones we can print.
- (Player Next Gen) "Intuiface has once again stayed ahead of the innovation curve and proven itself to be future-proof."
- (Headless CMS) "Once you get used to the UI (which does not take long at all) I found it easier than even working with Excel. Nice job!"
- (Overhauled check-out process) "It makes doing business much easier going forward so thank you, Intuiface team!"
We love the positive comments so keep them coming!
