Designing shopping or product simulations for consumers to preview the features of a product boosts customer satisfaction. In addition, developing uncommon simulated experiences is a great way to increase both enjoyment of and learning from the immersive experience. When it came to simulating a drag race in a 1969 Dodge Charger, incorporating the sound of the engine, the excitement of the crowd, and the actual racing techniques were critical in achieving total immersion. We took pains to integrate necessary hardware—the most challenging part of the project—so that the technology didn’t detract from the history, message, and beauty of the vehicle. Developed for the iOS, Android and PC operating systems.

Safety training is essential, even critical for some companies. Virtual reality can simulate hazards, dangers and protocols of job duties. Designed to educate mining personnel on proper heavy equipment use, this module-based training platform is more innovative than traditional ones because of is multi-user feature which reduces the time demands for busy supervisors. Those engaged in the virtual reality simulation benefit from a streamlined and inclusive training program. Miners must complete the training and demonstrate mastery of requisite skills before visiting job site. While this immersive experience was designed for miners, the module-based training platform can be designed for other training programs.

A successful projection mapping experience involves properly scanning the physical object to get the exact dimensions, and designing the projected content to match the dimensions. If the scanning isn’t correctly done, the content will “bleed” through the physical object and be seen on the wall or backdrop. In this project, a mannequin with football pads is the physical object and football jerseys is the continuously projected content. Projection mapping is most effective for group experiences, and as an effective promotional tool, conveys a story or important message to consumers. Similar to video mapping and designed with spatial augmented reality techniques, projection mapping is aesthetically designed to display a story or promotion on a physical object such as a wall or mannequin.

Use the power of purposeful games to build your child’s numeracy and literacy skills. Straylings is a charming game designed by leading educators using the latest principles of neuroscience. And kids love it. Repetition is what everybody needs as a basis for problem-solving, but it’s B-O-R-I-N-G. You know how well your kids can concentrate when immersed in a skillfully-crafted game - Strayling’s storyline and strong visuals keep kids focused. In a classroom situation, children can easily miss a fundamental principle. This not only impedes progress at higher levels, it damages confidence.

In Straylings, kids learn through continuous small improvements, and that becomes a learning strategy they take forwards with them. They develop a mindset that failure is an inevitable part of the path to discovery. In a well-designed game like Straylings, failure loses its power to discourage. Confidence naturally builds as they level-up, and mastery becomes a rewarding experience. The depth of material means kids can jump in at any skill level, advance at their own pace and grow to be the best they can. Expectations are level-appropriate, and reward scores are given accordingly. Your child will bloom, and their progress will appear effortless.
