We’re always keen to come up with new ways to connect with folks out there, so on top of our Twitter account, we now have an official Splinter Facebook page as well. It’s so good that Mr T and Hannibal just can’t take their eyes of it.

We recently developed an online game as part of the ongoing Clued Up in Hull project for Hull City Council. For a special educational event we needed to bundle it up on CD to give out to visitors, so we decided to have some fun and produced some nifty packaging to go with it. We’re chuffed with how it came out and everyone at the event seemed to like them, so hooray for that! You can check out full info on the project on the Clued Up On Homelessness project page.

It’s a very exciting day here at Splinter… Mr Beer has actually bought a few of the drinks that he shares his name with! Thanks Chris! The rush of blood to the head came as a result of some exciting new work, and the opening of the World Cup… all good!

We recently had to pop down to meet one of our favourite clients, the British Museum, and whilst having a wander around, look what we found tucked away in a corner… A real Crystal Skull!!!
Maybe George Lucas and Steven Spielberg aren’t so mad after all!

Splinter were recently asked to produce an interactive display for ACC Liverpool’s stand at Confex, an international event which brings together the world’s top event organisers. To stand out as an exhibitor ACC were keen to have an augmented reality interactive display to wow their visitors.
What is Augmented Reality? – An Augmented Reality application is one which combines real world footage with virtual on-screen graphics in real time. It gives the user the ability to manipulate what’s on screen with something as simple as the movement of their hand.
Making use of ACC’s new branding elements we came up with an interactive experience where visitors could hold up their visitor card to the screen and interact with the graphics on screen to see if they had won one of the available prizes.
The display was a huge success with the Confex crowd, and drew a lot of interest from the press, thus helping promote ACC as a brand even more. You can see the application in action in the video below.
