There are jobs which have more taste than others and it is because people we work with are great, shiny and fun.
That was definitely the case last Friday for Valrhona‘s party, “Les Cabosses”.
Some happy fews invited to taste delicious pasteries made from Valrhona materials and play with our interactive toys.
Catchyoo iTable has been deployed by Teikoku Data Bank who presents a very interesting exhibition about the longer lasting Japanese companies.
Japan is the country with the more numerous century+ companies in the world.
There are 20.000 century old companies in Japan, 2.000 of them were created before the Meiji Era (starting 1868).
The oldest Japanese company has been founded in AD 578 and is still in business (Carpenter company).
The curator modestly tells that this is due to respect of traditions and permanent innovation and this is why he is happy with this interactive table as the central point of the exhibition, presenting those respectable brands.
We would add that respect of client, respect of employees and permanent search for quality are the other key factors.
This is a second example of content made from Catchyoo’s Sprites new FX.
A notebook is open, a kid has written words on it, objects are around: a candy, cards, paint. All of them are interactive: the cards start animating, the candy sparkles, the paint leaks…
On the Notebook, words are made interactive. touch the word house and the house appears in 3D, touch the word balloon and it jumps. The castle drawing morph into the word "castle". All words are made interactive.
Beyond the educative purpose, it shows how the Sprites FX can let users create their own campaigns with maximum flexibility, using various elements like 3D objects, movies, words, sounds, special effects…
Here again, not a single line of Flash, not a single line of code…
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…
Ok, it is Friday and it has been a great week.
Just for the fun, here is a movie from Japanese TV featuring Catchyoo.
Yes, this is just usual Japanese TV… enjoy…
Weddings are something unique in Japan and generally speaking in Asia.
They are even more with Catchyoo in the Chappel.
Second largest airline company in Japan, ANA (All Nippon Airways) deploys Catchyoo systems in their Hotels chain.
ANA was a pioneer in brand communication as it was the first airline company to customize their planes’ design.
Catchyoo is deployed in many churches in Japan. It enhances cult ceremonies and integrates very well into the architecture.
The design can be easily changed from week to week, personalized for weddings, customized to baptisms, Easter, Xmas, etc…
Officers can easy manage the content themselves without knowledge about computing.
Going to church in Japan is like a renewed experience.
Tokyo Disney Resort equip their new hotels with Catchyoo systems.
Despite the historical and well-known positioning of Disney, the Catchyoo systems are mostly aimed at entertaining grown-ups in the new amazing buildings due to open on July 8, 2008 as the Park will celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Catchyoo are installed in the amazing new facilities coming with this new program.
Disney’s decision is driven by Catchyoo robusteness, easy management and ease of FX customization.
More images on July 8th of course !
