The iO Agency also markets other natural interaction technologies such as the SensitiveWall and the SensitiveFloor.

The SensitiveWall was booked by fiat for the presentation of the new 500. At the FIAT 500 presentation, users could create their own 500 on a classic touch screen interface and then all creations were sent and displayed on a sensitive wall were people could see everybody's customisations. Some of the cars were sold on presentation day through this mechanism.
