In this award-winning activation, McDonald’s tapped a team of all-stars including NEXT/NOW to create a brand virtual reality sports experience for the hundreds of thousands of NASCAR fans during the 2016 Sprint Cup Series. While the races were exciting, the real game-changer was NEXT/NOW’s one-of-a-kind Brand Virtually Reality sports game on the (not yet publicly available) HTC Vive. Fans put on the headset and were transported into the excitement of a virtual NASCAR pit stop where Jamie McMurray, driver of the McDonald’s #1 Chevy SS, instructs them to become part of the team by changing the driver’s side tires in a race against time. Using the HTC Vive hand paddles, users see the race car scream to a stop, then rush to change the front and rear tires. The user then hands Jamie a Big Mac and sends him back out on to the track. Finally, the user receives an email sharable with their pit stop time, which they surely use for bragging rights.
NEXT/NOW went all out with the production of this game to capture every detail including a video shoot of Jamie McMurray and recording sound effects from a real-life pit stop. We used a Hollywood-level motion capture program to create the animations of the virtual pit crew and wrapped it up in a Brand Virtual Reality sports package that wowed fans.

The project was implemented for one of the Canadian oil and gas companies. The implemented business process implies recognition of the charts which are generated by two or three pens driven by sensors attached to gas pipes. These pens plot traces on a rotating paper disk. As a result, the disc has the values of different parameters such as gas pressure, water, temperature. The next step is to convert this chart into a readable format.
This conversion process used to be performed manually by our customer’s employees. They had to manually delineate the contours of each trace using the mouse and then create the table with the values of the trace. Obviously, the whole process was very time-consuming and painful for the employee since he had no room for mistake.
Challenges: The main challenge we faced was how we actually should recognize the chart itself and all the traces it contains. The traces on the chart could hardly be seen or overlap each other. These kinds of issues were the most challenging for us since we had to recognize each trace separately and form the table with the values of each parameter.
Solutions: To solve the problems which were described above, we did step-by-step work. To be more specific, we implemented the following things:

1. Implementation of recognizing the empty chart template without any traces;


2. Then recognizing the traces on the chart;


3. Then recognizing the colors of each trace since the traces can be red, black, blue, etc. It depends on the pen’s color;


4. Defining where the trace starts and where it ends;


5. Calculation of the average value of the trace.

Results: As a result of the first phase we developed the solution that takes the images of these charts input data, recognizes each trace and generates the result file as a table with the needed metrics of pressure, temperature, water.
This solution is currently used by the customer’s employees and provides them with a high level of accuracy.

Twitter Twitterverse

Bringing complex data to life, our interactive visualisation software makes it easy to access and interpret data in real time.

Brief

The ‘Twitterverse’ is a snapshot of what the world is talking about as it happens as seen through the eyes of Twitter. We created an interactive visualisation of their social media platform that gives users a way to explore and interpret the complex real-time data. The software can be applied to any data set, allowing users to ask questions, discover answers, and gain insights.  

Strategy

Controlled via iPad interaction, which can be output to standard screen or large format video outputs, it was produced for the Twitter LIVE 10th Anniversary week. The application enabled hosts to view data as it visually manifested into a construct of nodes and connections, each forming layers of complex information that were selectable and filtered live by a host on stage. The user is able to filter out layers of information to access passions, feeds and even singular tweets. A data visualisation tool with the ability to view various modes of twitter conversation through a beautifully designed visual journey.  

Client benefit

Twitter: “Spectacular! It blew our clients’ minds and looked completely stunning.”

Walkable, wearable billboards provide brand awareness for years to comeEXECUTIVE SUMMARY


SketchUp, formerly Google SketchUp, is a 3D modeling computer program which offers a wide range of drawing applications such as building architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, film, and video game design. Absolutely thrilled with socks we produced for them, SketchUp subsequently invited us to pitch on 13 different products for SketchUp Basecamp 2018, a biennial event. We won each separate product as part of the bid and proudly look forward to continuing our relationship with this inspiring brand.




CHALLENGES




It was important to SketchUp that their custom branded apparel and promotional goods partner not only understood, but could deliver upon their needs. Having recently produced high quality and cost competitive branded socks for SketchUp, we had built a customer service relationship they could confidently place faith in. However, with the scope of products including stickers, sunglasses, water bottles, flash drives, towels, t-shirts and dry bags, we were keen to continue to prove our ability.
As always, our approach started with discovery; listening to our client and what their needs were. Because SketchUp planned to order considerable quantities of each item, and the difference in cents per unit could add up to thousands saved on the overall budget, it was key to maintain high quality items. This became the focus of the project.




THE SOLUTION

Nomify is our employee engagement product, spanning multiple platforms including native iOS and Android apps. Initially the idea came from a company requesting a small nominations website for an annual internal event. This inspired us to create a mobile app that could be used by multiple companies for a multitude of in house communications with a very minimal setup process. As well as the ability to make nominations, the app also includes a news feed, holiday booking, and a rewards system.
Solution

One of the most powerful elements of Nomify is the remote configuration system. Company administrators can log onto a website and customise how the app looks and behaves to their users. They can remotely change colour schemes, enable and disable features, as well as changing privileges for individual users.
To run an app on multiple mobile platforms, apps can either be built in the faster cross platform way, or the native approach that leads to a higher quality outcome. Nomify runs as a native app on iOS and Android to provide the best experience for all of our users.

• Native iOS & Android apps


• News feed


• Events


• Remote notifications


• Custom built calendar for holiday requests


• Remote configuration system
