Catchyoo is enhanced today with a new FX: SPRITES.

SPRITES lets Catchyoo partners and clients use multiple animations on
the same preset, position them accurately, dynamically change their
size and speed.

The below example shows a map of Japan where clouds are animated.
Each region is identified by its names written with clouds, slightly moving.
When triggered, the clouds morph into an other shape and a quick footage plays.
A cloud overcast comes when the system is not used.

It lets partners create various 3D animations.

This requires no Flash, not a single line of code. It can be applied to
all purposed: product presentations, education, advertising,
interactive design on floors, walls, tables, mock-up, etc…

This is an other example of AirStrike made in collaboration with Barco Japan.

The idea is to demo free-air interactivity to museum, public venues, virtual reality user (i.e. car makers, real estate developers) and event organizers.

AirStrike lets users instantly interact with the projected content.

Barco supplied a marvelous 18.000 Lumens projector.


 

On this second movie we used paintings from artist Momoko Sudo (www.momokosudo.com) to show how discovering art can be simple and pleasant.

AirStrike will be presented on Nihon TV (Nitele) on June 7, 8pm JST
as part of the program "The Most Useful School in the World".

This primetime program is aimed at explaining new technologies to Japanese with guest stars as students.
This is one of the best and most popular program in Japan.
The stars were presented AirStrike and they could play with the interactive system.

As
this world is small we were there with interactivity specialist Alvaro
Cassinelli
from Tokyo University. He presented an interesting obstacle
detection helmet.
On the picture below we see here LM3′s Yumiko playing with the tool. We had plently of time
talking about user interaction, laser, products, collaboration…

Just to provide some ideas about the ambiance we post some pictures
which will not tell too much about the content… You will have to wait.
