HIVE Media Control announced its native integration with Nexmosphere, enabling its Beeblade media players to connect directly with Nexmosphere’s range of sensors and controllers to create interactive media experiences.

The company said the integration was developed in response to demand from system integrators and serves to expand the available options for bringing interactivity to HIVE-powered installation. This allows for physical actions and real-world data to trigger and influence digital content.

Nexmosphere develops sensors and controls for interactive digital experiences, spanning technologies including presence and motion detection, RFID, touch and push buttons, object detection, Lift & Learn, weight sensing and LiDAR. Through the new integration, Nexmosphere sensors can connect with HIVE via USB or Ethernet, with data from multiple sensors available directly within HIVE’s Dataflow environment. HIVE supports Nexmosphere’s interface boxes and the majority of its sensor portfolio.

The new Data Matching module enables simple rules, such as triggering content when a visitor enters a particular zone or presses a button. The new Scripting module supports JavaScript, aiming to allow integrators to build customized logic around the data received from sensors.

The company said that for exhibition environments, organizations can launch content when a visitor approaches, switch to an interactive surface when someone stands in front of a display or use RFID to identify an object and trigger video content. HIVE can also send commands back to supported Nexmosphere devices, enabling elements such as LED lighting to respond as part of the experience.

“This integration is about giving our customers more ways to connect HIVE with the world around it. Nexmosphere has a fantastic range of sensors that many system integrators already know and use, so bringing native support into HIVE gives them even more freedom to create interactive experiences,” said Nigel Sadler, Chief Pollinator at HIVE media control. “Whether it’s a visitor approaching an exhibit, picking up an object or pressing a button, that information can now flow straight into HIVE and determine what happens next. Combined with Dataflow and scripting, there’s huge scope for creating sophisticated and personalised experiences.”

The company said the integration works across HIVE’s Beeblade media player range and continues HIVE’s commitment to an open ecosystem, giving integrators the freedom to combine its media playback platform with the technologies necessary for each project.

“By combining Nexmosphere’s sensor platform with HIVE’s media playback and control capabilities, integrators can easily connect digital content with what is happening in the physical environment. Together, we’re making it easier to create engaging, responsive experiences that react naturally to visitors and their surroundings,” said Hubert van Doorne, CEO at Nexmosphere.

The new Nexmosphere integration will be demonstrated on the HIVE stand (S4736) at IAAPA Expo Europe 2026, taking place at ExCeL London from Sept. 22-24. The integration will be available as part of the latest HIVE software release.
