Interactive Images

Business Background

Interactive images allow users to interact with them in various ways beyond just viewing them. They can enhance user engagement, provide a more immersive experience, and convey information more effectively than static images. Interactive images are commonly used in websites, educational materials, digital publications, and presentations to make content more dynamic and engaging.

Titan Solution

With Titan Web, the interactive image allows users to mark positions on an image to indicate specific locations.

This can be used by medical teams to map pain points on a human body image, car leasing or rental companies to map damage to a returned vehicle, or by a safety inspector surveying a room or facility.
