The system takes the strain and hassle out of mooring – reducing workload and improving accessibility – as Joy cleats are operated using a footswitch that pulls the mooring line via a rotating winch. The Joy Self Tailing Cleat is available with either a 12V or 24V motor to support either a 100 or 300kg working load.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212643/image/large-ba2f96ab9f3c28bcf8c37fcf05a94801.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212643"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/184127/image/large-14d45ab4c2ee929791a8e728aa32793a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/184127"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a>’s Assisted Docking systemPerhaps the most celebrated innovation from 2021 is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a>’s Assisted Docking system, as it was <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54096" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DAME Design Awards 2021: Volvo Penta Assisted Docking wins top spot (2021-11-16 13:30:00 +0100)">awarded the overall DAME Award</a> at the <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="METSTRADE - 2021">METSTRADE</a> show last November.

When thinking about a new-build superyacht project and how to get the best yacht technology on board, the consideration of AV/IT systems might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Indeed, for those of us not in the know, the day-to-day technology responsible for ensuring things run smoothly only ever impinges into our thoughts when it goes wrong. Nothing can spell the end of a relaxing holiday faster than Netflix packing up or all the lights going off. &nbsp;Logistical gymnastics&nbsp;Logistically, however, there is more to this than meets the eye. With the rise of technology management companies – or technology consultancy companies as they sometimes prefer to be called – in recent years, the process of developing the specifications for the AV/IT systems on board superyachts has become increasingly professionalised. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/120898/image/large-a263c5796808341114c36d4f81a6013c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/120898">Working closely with the owner, there are several key factors for success for companies working in this field. The most important of these is keeping abreast of the latest technological developments to compensate for the inevitable changes which will occur between the time the specifications are created and the actual delivery of a project. Capacity planning is keySteve Puckering, CEO of Smart Technology Advisers, explains: “In a simple one-word answer, ‘capacity’ is how you allow for changes at the lowest possible cost. In a four-year build, we design a system with as much capacity planning as possible. At key stages we loop back and check again. A good recent example was the marked shift from multimode fiber optic to single-mode fiber optic cables. This was a simple change which caused no disruption to the build program, but was a huge benefit to the project itself as single-mode fiber offers much faster data transfer.”Once these specifications are completed, it’s over to the system integrators to find the most suitable technologies to transform them into reality. No mean feat – as Maurizio Minossi, CEO of Italian company <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks S.P.A. (Company)">Videoworks</a> explains: “Yacht owners are really demanding customers and they always ask for the latest technology. The installation has to be done in a way to ensure that maintenance and services are easy and non-invasive. A good system integrator has to combine the best technology with ease of use.” Plus, there’s also the service aspect to factor in: the dreaded white screen or ‘spinning wheel of death’ can be dealt with thanks to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks S.P.A.

Surprisingly, it is less about anything too space-age and more about replicating the experience which owners would expect from their own homes. As Rex Barrett, Projects Director at Ideaworks explains, it can be something as quotidian as the speed of the internet on board. “Higher speed/lower cost internet will have a significant impact as this will allow owners’ onboard experience to become closer to what they have at home, with access to a virtually unlimited supply of content.”Indeed, thanks to upcoming developments in low-medium-earth-orbit communications systems (LEO/MEO), data streaming and software-as-a-service (SaaS) options such as Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps, Amazon Web Services and Slack will become ever-more accessible, allowing owners to operate from their yachts as ‘business as usual.’ <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/25813/image/large-f7cb71066a2cbd28867359215159b209.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/25813">It would, however, be remiss to exclude some of most exciting tech developments in the pipeline for superyacht AV/IT which would have seemed straight out of a science fiction novel only a few years ago. Whether it’s voice recognition or virtual /augmented reality, these technologies are already being requested by owners, Minossi tells us, as they’re already accessible to everyone on smartphones and games consoles. “We are currently developing a voice recognition system to install on an 120-metre superyacht which we will deliver in three years,” he reveals.“Also a special software for light engineering renderings that allows the client to use a VR visor and haptic gloves to explore the cabins/saloons of the vessel. They can experience the effects of the different light scenarios and control them using a virtual tablet.&nbsp;The best is yet to come”Of course, the development of some of these technologies is still ongoing, as Jeroen van den Hurk, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2213" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="VBH (Company)">VBH</a>, highlights: “Voice control has massive potential but it will take some years to become really intelligent so that it can interact the way humans expect and it is also still greatly dependent on the IT system present on the yacht. In the future, we will see a greater integration of technologies on board and IT will become ever more important.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/171950/image/large-c7c4477ce6faeb851df721753d0d3814.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/171950">For Will Faimatea, Founder &amp; Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2965" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bond Technology Management (Company)">Bond Technology Management</a>, the future of AV/IT on board superyachts will include “more cloud-based services, thinner and higher-resolution video walls, higher levels of integration of these video walls with the design and form of the yacht and neural interfaces for control of systems.” And, as Faimatea sees it, these changes are very much on the horizon: “This is just over three generations of new-builds away – so it’s really not that far off.”Finally, although it is easy to get swept up in the excitement of new developments, for many owners, getting the best technology onto their yachts is less about trying out the latest wacky toys and more about ensuring a smooth onboard experience so that their time on their yachts can be as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. As Faimatea highlights: “Some owners we are working with are very interested in trying out new technologies, but others want it proven and simple. This nuance is managed in an open conversation and not with a broad brush approach.”&nbsp;So, how do you get the best technology on board a superyacht? Ideaworks’ Rex Barrett has a simple solution: “We start by listening.”This article was originally published in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/brexit-latest-in-superyacht-times-newspaper" target="_blank">&nbsp;September/ October 2020 issue of The SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.

As Rex Barrett, Projects Director at Ideaworks explains, it can be something as quotidian as the speed of the internet on board. “Higher speed/lower cost internet will have a significant impact as this will allow owners’ onboard experience to become closer to what they have at home, with access to a virtually unlimited supply of content.”Indeed, thanks to upcoming developments in low-medium-earth-orbit communications systems (LEO/MEO) – which “should hopefully be available in the tens of thousands by 2030” according to Steve Puckering – data streaming and software-as-a-service (SaaS) options such as Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps, Amazon Web Services and Slack will become ever-more accessible, allowing owners to operate from their yachts as ‘business as usual.’&nbsp;Ask for futuristic tech&nbsp;It would, however, be remiss to exclude some of the most exciting tech developments in the pipeline for superyacht AV/IT which would have seemed straight out of a science fiction novel only a few years ago. Whether it’s voice recognition or virtual /augmented reality, these technologies are already being requested by owners, Maurizio Minossi tells us, as they’re already accessible to everyone on smartphones and games consoles. “We are currently developing a voice recognition system to install on an 120-metre superyacht which we will deliver in three years,” he reveals.&nbsp;“Also a special software for light engineering renderings that allows the client to use a VR visor and haptic gloves to explore the cabins/saloons of the vessel. They can experience the effects of the different light scenarios and control them using a virtual tablet.” Of course, the development of some of these technologies is still ongoing, as Jeroen van den Hurk, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2213" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="VBH (Company)">VBH</a>, highlights: “Voice control has massive potential but it will take another 15 years to become really intelligent so it can interact the way humans expect.”&nbsp;For Will Faimatea, Founder &amp; Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2965" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bond Technology Management (Company)">Bond Technology Management</a>, the future of AV/IT on board superyachts will include “more cloud-based services, thinner and higher-resolution video walls, higher levels of integration of these video walls with the design and form of the yacht and neural interfaces for control of systems.” And, as Faimatea sees it, these changes are very much on the horizon: “This is just over three generations of new-builds away – so it’s really not that far off.”Work with what works When it comes to success in getting the best technology on board today’s superyachts, there is one element that shines through for all of our interviewees: ensuring that the owner’s requirements are at the forefront. As Steve Puckering explains: “By their very nature, superyacht owners are early adopters and innovators and it’s our job to present the truth and the facts. Evaluating technology takes time and then, as in any situation, you break the pluses and minuses down and present them in a jargon-free manner. No client wants a yes man.”Finally, although it is easy to get swept up &nbsp;in the excitement of new developments, for many owners, getting the best technology onto their yachts is less about trying out the latest wacky toys and more about ensuring a smooth onboard experience so that their time on their yachts can be as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. As Faimatea highlights: “Some owners we are working with are very interested in trying out new technologies, but others want it proven and simple. This nuance is managed in an open conversation and not with a broad brush approach.”&nbsp;So, how do you get the best technology on board a superyacht? Ideaworks’ Rex Barrett has a simple solution: “We start by listening.”This article was first featured in The SuperYacht Times newspaper Issue 34. <a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">Subscribe</a> now to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.&nbsp;

Ferretti Group unveils Pershing 8X

In everyday life, we have begun to introduce new innovations in technology that changes the way in which we use and perceive our personal spaces. Devices such as Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home and Apple’s Siri are able to interact with us on a personal level, make our environment smarter, understand us and put us at ease, all while creating a comfortable space for us to enjoy.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/55266/image/large-b6da94fe0c8961d164732ceeb40fd007.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/55266">When on the water it is vital that everyone onboard has a comfortable experience. Integrated audio/video systems and networks has become an important part of the onboard experience for owners and guests, and a system that can adapt your environment to cater to human emotions, such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks S.P.A.

By working with an algorithm based on the human neural network that understands mood, the light setting of a room onboard a superyacht can be set accordingly, and a suitable music playlist will be selected to play. The Mood Meter software is able to give a precise insight regarding the sensations experienced and will create customised ambiences accordingly.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/55264/image/large-fd31f4cde006d41e392f03d4f62bf92e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/55264"> <img src="/uploads/store/photo/55263/image/large-8994bbebd4f5f6463ab3fcdc45edf50f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/55263">The Mood Meter creates a smart environment once the user selects a song and watches an emotional video. The videos in the room’s library correspond to a wide range of emotions from fear to joy. While the user watches the video, the sensors in the room maps the user’s emotions, generates a Spotify playlist and sets the lights of the room to reflect the user’s mood in both ambience and colour. The end result is a smart environment that mirrors the user’s feelings.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/55267/image/large-3a1d236daf0b22bda597ed6732e7dcb7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/55267"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks S.P.A.

Create a smarter superyacht with Videoworks’ Mood Meter

In 2018, protecting superyachts and their owners, captains and crews against cybercrime is a growing necessity. As a result of the increasing amount of digital technology onboard superyachts, it has never been easier for owners, guests and crew to stay connected anywhere and anytime. But, of course, the same technology exposes yacht systems and their passengers to the ever-growing threat of cyber-related crime: a threat which needs to be well understood, managed and monitored. The Italian system integration experts at Videoworks are working alongside trusted partners and developing security solutions to stay ahead of the curve. This month, we find out more about their latest solution: Kerio Control.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/33476/image/large-ee7b78dc376ccf937959646f79a80067.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/33476">This month, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will begin introducing obligations that impact companies offering services and products within the EU. After benefitting from over 25 years of experience as IT integrators within the yachting sector, Videoworks is ideally placed to analyse, define and specify bespoke cybersecurity solutions into new build and refit projects, and have done just this with Kerio Control.&nbsp;Prior to now, the industry emphasis has been on prioritising performance over security, but the threat posed by cybercrime requires both, and there is an increasing awareness of this threat within the industry. Videoworks know that protecting onboard systems and personal data involves more than simply installing a firewall and antivirus or occasional software updates and patches as temporary solutions. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/33473/image/large-cd1d18b39fe85c9294ee6930c5d3ff30.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/33473">Of course, there is no fail-safe, single protection against a determined cyberattack. Instead, a layered approach is required to mitigate the security risk by making it more difficult for hackers to penetrate the network. Kerio Control from Videoworks is an all-in-one threat and connection manager which protects the yacht ’s server via an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) which monitors both entering and exiting net communications. Alongside its next-generation firewall capabilities, the device also offers Load Balancing to guarantee high-speed transmission for the most important traffic types, and optimal Internet connections by distributing traffic across multiple links. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/33474/image/large-8acb96722f8f26323c77714e5f8c27ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/33474">In addition, the Kerio Control Web Filter enables administrators to allow, deny or limit the applications, websites and Internet services users can access. This powerful filter protects users and infrastructure by preventing visits to known malicious sites or those that engage in phishing attacks or identify theft. It also blocks objectionable sites to ensure compliance and shield from liability, also increasing productivity by limiting access by application or site content category to a specific time of day, selected users, and specific user locations.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/33475/image/large-208e3848283472bea382b13b18da2110.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/33475"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/33479/image/large-11c200afb361a888493085abf6c09e49.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/33479">Already making waves within the industry, Videoworks has integrated Kerio Control into their rack systems aboard a large lineup of superyachts, including projects by Benetti, Baglietto, Perini Navi, Ferretti, Admiral, CCN and more. When combined with Cisco’s “high network” devices such as Aironet Access Points, Catalyst Switches, 4000 series routers and next-generation ASA FirePOWER firewalls, Kerio Control provides robust, integrated threat defence and security management before, during and after a security breach has occurred, keeping you and your systems safe on board. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/33478/image/large-10125e4e375a3118d305799e38548565.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/33478">To find out more about Videoworks and the services they offer, contact them directly using the details below.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.videoworks.it/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title=""><img src="/uploads/store/photo/33472/image/large-2b1abb5b5ff3c4cf995cd5d8f349a73b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/33472"></a>

Product of the Month: Fighting cyber crime with the Kerio Control from Videoworks

Every year, scores of new products emerge for the superyacht industry. Indeed, several shows and events around the world such as the annual METSTRADE show in Amsterdam is a perfect representation of this, showcasing a huge variety of superyacht products ranging from the everyday to the truly extraordinary (get a closer look at some of the coolest products at last year’s METSTRADE on the SuperYacht Times Vlogs - available on our YouTube channel!). But with so many products emerging to try and suit the altering demands of our multifaceted industry, what is it, exactly, that makes a product truly innovative? The most important thing to remember is that innovation, at its very definition, is a new method idea, or product. Big or small, mind-bogglingly game-changing or just slightly more efficient, innovation is rife. Products are oftentimes the unsung heroes of the superyacht business, and perhaps the sector of the business with the most room for innovation, with even the smallest new invention sometimes working wonders in terms of improving the day-to-day experience of the superyacht lifestyle. Whether that is by providing amazing new features to enjoy the best-quality entertainment easily wherever you are on board, improving peace of mind with heightened security and privacy measures, or enabling excited clients to explore their yacht before her build has even started using the latest virtual reality technology. The products we’ve selected here are great examples of venturing beyond what already exists, all shaped by the latest technological developments - time spent on board a superyacht is a precious luxury, and, indeed, all of the products outlined in this feature work to save the owner time, money and energy - directly or indirectly. So, with this in mind, read on to see our round-up of some of our favourite innovative products to emerge from the superyacht industry recently.&nbsp;Explore by YachtEye<img src="/uploads/store/photo/25808/image/large-fea9718e0920dbbb117ea4e2c62fc03e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/25808"> Explore is a brand new module in Oculus’ infotainment platform, YachtEye.

Through these features, the I-Bridge Air Wings provides its users with easy handling and secure control. As for the product’s origins, Massimo Minnella, TEAM Italia’s CEO explains: “The most innovative wheelhouse concepts are moving towards a clear change in the usability of this part of the yacht [...] The pilot house area has become panoramic, and the heavy structures which often used to hold the racks have been removed. By doing so, design has become an increasingly more important feature, creating pleasantly sociable areas which can be enjoyed by owners and guests.”“I-Bridge Air Wings was designed in order to satisfy these requirements,” continues Daniele Ceccanti, TEAM Italia’s president, “and we worked according to the architecture of distributed electronics. This enabled us to free up space by using a lighter design whilst still guaranteeing the very highest levels of safety onboard.”<ul><li>Distributed electronics</li><li>Panoramic wheelhouse</li><li>100% Italian design</li><li>Ergonomic studies developed ad hoc</li></ul>E: <a href="mailto:info@team-italia.it">info@team-italia.it</a>W: <a href="http://www.team-italia.it/">www.team-italia.it</a>Videoworks Intelligent Glass <img src="/uploads/store/photo/25811/image/large-3acf7197683c2edf1d878323108ec286.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/25811"> Videoworks’ highly innovative product, the ‘intelligent glass’ is actually a transparent and multifunctional adhesive film that can be applied to any kind of glass surface.

Once installed, the ‘Intelligent Glass’ can change from opaque to transparent, either immediately or gradually, by the simple touch of a button. All multimedia content can be beamed on the adhesive film and remotely controlled with ease with the multimedia software for tablets and smartphones created by Videoworks. This new technology is able to instantaneously change from a transparent to an opaque surface, or vice-versa. This instantaneous transformation is an extremely important feature of the product as it not only controls the degree of privacy for the user in a practical way, but also the amount of natural light that penetrates the interiors - blocking more than 98% of harmful UV rays in the process - and the amount of heat from that same source. This interesting solution can also potentially introduce us to a new way of conceiving a yacht’s interior and exterior design, as it allows the technology itself to become an integral part of the decor for the next generation of yachts.

When it comes to online access on board yachts, clients of today demand the highest level of service and the quickest connection possible - no matter where they are in the world. Although certainly not the easiest task in the world, Videoworks are posed to take on this challenge and exceed client expectations with their sophisticated bandwidth management solution.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165249/image/large-732ab324e3104254b64b502154ad568c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165249">

Explaining the development of their solution to onboard connectivity, Videoworks say: “Bandwidth management was becoming a major concern aboard one of our high-profile client's yacht. Onboard this yacht, the number of crew, guests, and network attached devices could reach over 100, all accessing the same wireless network, flowing out to the internet over a single, extremely expensive and relatively slow satellite connection.”

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165250/image/large-22cbc897abd1ec6ec64ef1b75d28d0c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165250">

“Until recently,” Videoworks continue, “there was no control over which device was granted priority, and no visibility into which devices/users were using the most bandwidth. These luxury yachts are expected to be at the forefront of technology, with the vessels offering the best and ideal IT solutions. Thanks to its skills as system integrator and IT expert, Videoworks was able to create a solution for our clients. The solution is Kerio Control.”

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165251/image/large-50e91e5a3c4e9e4b667748868fe15a5b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165251">

Kerio Control is an all-in-one unified threat and bandwidth management solution that brings comprehensive network protection and intelligence to yachts. With an ever-increasing range of vessel internet connections offering a wide variety of cost/speed benefits, the ability to switch between services has never been more important.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165252/image/large-13615e9cabdc48963b22d37b35659f18.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165252">

The “Load Balancing” feature permits to distribute traffic across multiple connections ensuring constant internet service. A Kerio control router allows you to take control of your WAN connections as well as efficiently managing your LAN traffic. Users can remotely access the network through virtual private networking, while admins can remotely manage the firewall through a web interface. Whether a commercial ship or a luxury yacht, a Kerio control router can save both time and money.

Kerio Control main features:

* Bandwidth Management

* Load Balancing

* Anti - Virus

* Firewall, Router, IPS/IDS

* Web &amp; Content Filtering

* Usage Management and Reporting

* Secure VPN

* Flexible Deployment

Kerio Control monitors link availability and automatically disables or re-enables links to ensure continuous internet access. Kerio Control also uses Internet Link Load Balancing to distribute specific users onto specific connections.

The Kerio Control Web Filter permits administrators to allow, deny or limit the applications, websites and Internet services users can access. This powerful filter protects users and infrastructure by preventing visits to known malicious sites or those that engage in phishing attacks or identify theft. It also blocks objectionable sites to ensure compliance and shield from liability, and increases productivity by limiting access by application or site content category to a specific time of day, selected users, and specific user locations.

Videoworks at forefront of onboard connectivity

Sponsored Content

Italian audio/visual company Videoworks has recently revealed the latest addition to their product line, an adhesive film compatible with any type or size of glass surface that transforms the surface into a multi-functional multimedia source. The film has the ability to switch from clear to opaque instantly or gradually at the touch of a button, and offers a deeper level of customisation to tech-savvy owners.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/164485/image/large-0cbd24f7147a057cadc8aa6048040f5d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/164485">

Installation of the adhesive film is simple and cost-effective, just requiring the application of the film onto an already existing sheet of glass. Videoworks also offer the opportunity to install the film onto a brand new glass surface. We spoke to the team at Videoworks recently, who shed some light on the development of the multimedia adhesive film and how the product can be easily incorporated on board any superyacht.

Tell us about the development of the product.

The technology itself was created by an external society, and was chosen by the experts here at Videoworks to be assessed and tested for use in our projects. After months of studies and real simulations of how this technology can work in a number of different environments, we’re now excited to announce that we’re ready to bring this product to the fore and offer this revolutionary product to our clients!

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/164486/image/large-25b72f4374895b7be7b1886fa0719715.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/164486">

What are the benefits of incorporating this technology onboard a superyacht?

This solution offers the possibility to project on any glass surface, which is an amazing development. It means that we can be extremely versatile within installation, without comprising on the aesthetics of the environment in which it is installed in ways never before seen in this field - the film even disappears as desired at the touch of a button. This means that the owner can create ambiance wherever they want with a vivid projection of a Japanese cherry blossom garden, for example, whilst dining, and then simply turn it off and be able to enjoy the beautiful view outside. It is ideal for customising views, aesthetics and ambiance on board a superyacht and gives the owner and guests that extra level of personal customisation. This technology also allows to project a smart TV on the glass surface with optical results very similar to the home theatre projections. The glass can also be a sounding wall with just one small invisible speaker behind it.

You’ve only very recently announced the product to the industry. Have you received much interest so far?

We’ve only just started to talk about this new product, and we hope to receive the first feedback from the market soon. We’ve got a lot of ongoing yachting projects in general at the moment in Northern Europe as well as in Italy, where we’re actually working with almost all of the most important shipyards in the country.
