X-Ray Sliding Screen
The moveable digital display stand for interactive X-ray presentations
The X-Ray Sliding Screen reveals the inner workings of complex technical products right on site.
- Content scrolls automatically.
- A look inside the product.
- Creates maximum wow effect.
How the Interactive Sliding Screen Works
The X-Ray Sliding Screen combines physical exhibits with synchronized digital content. The system uses a rail-mounted, portrait-oriented touchscreen display for interactive product presentations.
Sensor-Based Tracking and Visual Synchronization
- Rail Guidance: The stele is manually moved along rails in front of the actual object by the operator.
- Content Control: The software dynamically adjusts the graphics to match the position of the display.
- X-ray illusion: The viewer gets the visual impression of looking directly into the closed object.
Interactive Details via Points of Interest (POI)
Digital markers are placed at predefined positions along the travel path. As soon as the user moves the sliding screen to one of these markers, the system stops and opens context-based pop-up windows.
These information windows offer users more in-depth interactions:
- Technical Data: Display of specifications and performance data.
- 3D Models: Rotatable and zoomable view of hidden components.
- Explanatory videos: Animated representations of fluid flows or internal processes.

Practical Examples and Areas of Application
The X-Ray Sliding Screen is used to visualize invisible processes and internal components in various key industries.
Application Example 1: Automotive & Vehicle Technology
A real vehicle, a chassis, or an engine block serves as the basis for the presentation. The sliding screen reveals the hidden technology to visitors at trade shows or in showrooms.
- Initial situation: A physical car is parked behind the rail system.
- Interaction in the frontal area: When you move the screen over the hood, the display shows the engine as a virtual exploded view.
- Interaction in the wheel area: When the screen moves toward the axles, the display switches to the brake components.
- Additional feature: With a tap on the touchscreen, you can display current wear data or material flows.
Application Example 2: Mechanical Engineering & Industrial Components
This setup is suitable for compact, complex units or industrial systems that are to be inspected from all sides.
- Initial situation: The actual component is placed on a rotating presentation table. The sliding screen is mounted rigidly in front of it.
- Interaction through Rotation: The user rotates the exhibit manually or electronically on the table.
- Synchronization: Sensors measure the table’s angle of rotation in real time.
- Visualization: The display shows the object at the correct angle and provides the appropriate material and functional visualization for each view.

Buy or Rent: The Right Option for Every Situation
The choice of installation method depends on the expected duration of use and the location of the sliding screen.
When is it worth buying?
The system is designed for long-term, stationary applications.
- Permanent Showrooms and Lobbies: The system remains permanently at the headquarters or at a branch office to welcome customers.
- Permanent Exhibitions: Museums and brand-specific interactive experiences are designed to be used for several years with the same basic layout.
- Specific architectural integration: The housing must be color-matched exactly (according to RAL) to the room’s existing corporate design.
- Custom IT Infrastructure: The integrated PC requires specialized hardware performance to run complex, proprietary software applications.
When is it worth renting?
Renting the system is ideal for temporary, short-term use.
- Trade shows and conferences: The Sliding Screen is only needed for a few days at a specific event.
- Temporary pop-up stores: The system supports a time-limited product launch in retail.
- Changing event locations: The deployment takes place as part of a roadshow at various locations with a tight logistical timeline.
- Lack of personnel: A turnkey system is needed, in which logistics, setup, and dismantling must be handled entirely by external technicians.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an X-Ray Sliding Screen, and how does it work?
An X-Ray Sliding Screen is a mobile display terminal mounted on a rail system. The stand is moved in front of a real object, with sensors tracking its exact position. The software adjusts the display content in sync with the movement, creating the optical illusion of looking into the object’s closed interior.
For which products and industries is the system suitable?
The system is optimized for explaining complex technical products. Typical areas of application include automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, medical technology, and industrial components. It visualizes hidden components, fluid flows, or internal processes directly on the physical exhibit.
What data is needed to create the digital content?
Existing CAD data, 3D models, or digital renderings from product development serve as the basis for the X-ray presentation. This data is converted into interactive 3D views, exploded views, or animated explanatory videos for the touchscreen.
What technical requirements must be met at the site?
The system is designed exclusively for indoor use. A level surface is required for the rail structure and the exhibit, as well as a standard power outlet (230V). A permanent Internet connection is not required for regular operation.
What is the difference between buying and renting?
The purchase option offers a free choice of RAL colors, customizable display sizes, and configurable PC hardware for long-term use in showrooms. The rental option offers preconfigured standard sizes (43“ or 55”), including logistics, setup, and takedown services for temporary events and trade shows.
