London, UK – HYPERVSN has won the ‘Retail Banking’ category at the Digital Signage Awards 2023, with the world’s first digital banking assistant project coming out on top. Truly a dream ending to our ISE 2023 adventure, and a great token of recognition from the whole professional community.
Chosen by the Jury panel, the winning project had been in production for several years, and was launched in 2022, to take the Slovakian bank, Slovenská sporiteľňa’s, customer experience to the next dimension. The female avatar of a holographic banker was powered by our 8-unit HYPERVSN Wall and given the name Vesna (in Slovakian it means ‘Spring’). Vesna is programmed with more than 150 complex scenarios, and provides a whole host of bank services. Installed microphones and speakers detect voice commands and allow the hologram to respond, interact and advise clients on banking services, answering questions on accounts, cards, investing and others. The project combines some of the most innovative technologies, including machine learning, AI, holographic technology, text to speech and voice recognition. However, Vesna doesn’t lack that crucial ‘human touch’ so people naturally enjoy chatting & interacting with ‘her’.
‘It’s a great milestone, for HYPERVSN to be the first to demonstrate the coming future of the banking industry and interactive customer experiences. To be witnessing the tributes start pouring in from our peers, means a ton to us. The industry has seen a variety of innovations lately, and being #1 means the team have invented something truly outstanding,’ said Massimiliano Carlesi, HYPERVSN Sales Director Italy, who was accepting the prize at the award ceremony on February 2nd, adding ‘We say a huge thank you to our Slovakian partner OPTIO as well as the team of AI experts at NETTLE for their outstanding work and bringing this project to the local market.’
Started with the previous generation of HYPERVSN devices, Vesna is now being moved to the latest HYPERVSN SmartV platform for increased 3D excellence.
‘It’s awesome to be setting trends with HYPERVSN, which gives us an uplifting feeling of accomplishment and fuels our desire to move forward, come up with new applications and innovate, now and forever. From medical institutions, museums and live shows, we have had numerous projects in Slovakia, and every time we showcase HYPERVSN technology, it makes a lasting impression.’
– Matej Šulgan, CEO of OPTIO.
