CeBIT will be an opportunity to see how the world's first and only GPS in the tractor cabs can ensure productivity gains and automatic compliance reporting in one simple to use and cost effective system. Armoured Server Room in a Box Need to run a data centre in a harsh or extremely unsecured location like a construction site or remote facility? New Zealand company Thureon provides an elegant solution – a complete server room in a compact, armoured box built to resist the worst conditions possible. The Armarac is tough enough to stop thieves, vandals and accidental damage but also offers protection from water, dust and fire. Touch Technology Gets Even More Interactive New Zealand is one of the world's leaders in touch and gesture screen technology. NextWindow and Fingertapps will showcase how this technology can be applied everywhere from smart phones to huge displays. A centrepiece of the stand will be a touch screen coffee table, which will not only display information about all the New Zealand IT companies featured at the show but it will also allow for games to be played and multimedia demos to be viewed. A special feature is the dynamic orientation: The text and pictures shown on the screen change orientation depending on what side of the table you are standing on. Visitors to the stand will be able to observe how the table allows many people to work simultaneously on content and exchange it. Kiwis landing in hall 2 Kiwis do fly after all!
