Splinter enter the world of Augmented Reality

We can finally tell you all about an exciting new project we did for ACC Liverpool. We put together an interactive display for them featuring “augmented reality” technology, which merges live video footage with 3D interactive graphics.

The stand was unveiled for the first time at Confex, an international exhibition in London for event organisers and venues across the world, and went down really, really well!

Jacquie Rogers, general manager of the BT Convention Centre, said: “We wanted to do something which was a bit different, utilising cutting-edge technology to give our stand an extra wow factor.”

You can get more info and see a video demo over in our portfolio.

International Digital Emmy nomination for The Well

Rach did the Hoovering… No honestly she did!

There was a scary noise coming from the Splinter house today. It was the noise of Rachael vacuuming in the back of the studio. Not only was she tidying for the first time in her life, but she also assembled the unfamiliar piece of machinery together. After aggressively fighting her ground to ensure that we did not purchase a Henry Hoover, she ordered the penultimate Vax Mach 5. Now we have remembered the original colour of the carpet is in fact, a charming shade of blue.

Go! Rachael

Rachael presented Go! TravelWise to 35 of Liverpool’s Primary and Secondary Personal and Social Health Education (PSHE) teachers. The Go! TravelWise interactive games, websites and lesson plan packs introduce sustainable travel options into the classroom. Despite a heavy cold she still felt she let the side down slightly by taking a taxi to the venue.
