70th anniversary of the Constitution
Federal Government Roadshow with multi-touch scanner table
On behalf of the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government, our partner mediapool designed a nationwide information tour on the topic of “70 Years of the Basic Law.” From May to October 2019, the tour stopped in eleven German cities. The aim was to communicate the Basic Law in an understandable way and to actively involve the public.
The tour kicked off in Karlsruhe, where the Federal Constitutional Court celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Basic Law. In his speech, Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble emphasized the special significance of Article 1: “Human dignity shall be inviolable.” The tour thus sent a clear signal for democracy, the rule of law, and social dialogue.
Networked multi-touch scanner table from Garamantis
Garamantis supported the tour with a networked multitouch scanner table. It formed the interactive center of the multimedia presentation.
The media table was located in a large opera tent with an indoor stage. It was connected to a presentation screen that was integrated into the back wall of the stage. This allowed content from the table to be made visible to larger groups of visitors.
Interactive content and active participation
Entire groups could work together at the multi-touch table. Visitors called up articles of the Basic Law and read about them directly on the screen. Interactive puzzles deepened their understanding of the content. Quiz formats tested their knowledge of German federal states and European countries.
A central element was public participation. Visitors wrote or drew their personal opinions on the Basic Law on prepared cards. These cards were scanned directly at the table. The results appeared digitally on the display and could be discussed together. The participants took the original cards home with them as souvenirs. In this way, the installation combined analog participation with digital visualization.
Robust technology for outdoor use
The multi-touch scanner table was specially developed for mobile and unattended use. A robust metal body and vandal-proof connections ensure high resistance in public spaces. For transport, the system is simply lifted into a suitable case. This makes the installation ideal for roadshows, city festivals, and temporary outdoor information formats.

Once again, I very much appreciated the uncomplicated and professional cooperation with the Garamantis team on this project. In joint coordination, a product was planned, developed, programmed and manufactured on schedule that was always up to the tough everyday touring, even in changing weather conditions. Not least, the support after delivery, which was always available at short notice, helped me and my team to ensure that both customer and user were equally satisfied and that the table was always well frequented.
