The new blog is designed to reflect the innovation spirit carried by LM3LABS for the last 5 years. The LM3LABS blog is more product neutral, covering all products while leaving room to the future products and corporate and business news.

Simpler, wider, it leaves space to video in hi-quality and to better graphics.

AirStrike @ TV

AirStrike was on air on last June 8 on Nitele (the nickname for Nihon Telebi, the Japanese TV, one of the 2 main national channels in Japan).

Guest stars could experience the free air interactivity of AirStrike.  Despite what you might thing this is a prime time science program. Yes I know, Japan is an other planet...

For those who missed this great piece of TV and those who are abroad, here is a recall.

It tastes different

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.

 

A nice futuristic interface for Ubiq'window

 

...from our US distributor.

Interactive Notebook made with Catchyoo Sprites

 

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 comes with a new FX: SPRITES

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...

 

AirStrike interactive wall in collaboration with Barco

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.

Catchyoo turns Japanese TV crazy (...or do they really need us?)

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...
