Client: TFL / BOFC
Requirements: TFL wanted an engaging interactive stand at the London Cycle Show to promote the upcoming Cycle Superhighways.
Skills used: Director / Lingo / Electronics
Solution: Working with a colleague we created bespoke electronics that measured the speed of the rear wheel. These were fed into the application which controlled the playback of the video according to the users speed. The main content of the video, created by BOFC was an overlayed path of the Superhighway and the planned roadside improvements. Users could stop pedalling to pause the video to read in more detail or turn the handlebars to affect the view.

Client: London Underground – Bombardier – Davis Associates
Requirement: Cost efficient prototyping of a series of new ‘train-driver display panels’ e.g. graphically represent new layout of driver instrument panels
Skills used: Adobe Director
Solution: Using Adobe Director we created a unique application that synchronised video with new driver display layouts. Focus groups of drivers were then able to watch the simulation and comment on new designs in a realistic but ‘virtual’ environment.
By creating the displays in software the client was able to test a range of ideas without needing to resort to costly engineering development.
