Splinter were commissioned to work with the staff of the Denbighshire County Council to create a new website for the Clwydian Range AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The website was launched in June 2010.

The website has features such as a gallery, panoramic and video viewer, walking route guide and an interactive map for places of interest. The walking guide uses Google maps to display the numerous walks throughout the range and allows the user to select a walk and see the route displayed on the map; it also gives each walk a difficulty rating to help users. The places of interest are marked on a map and show pictures and details of the various hill forts and country parks dotting the range.

Confex Augmented Reality

Jon — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 15:33:28 +0000

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.

The Conference Portfolio has been produced to highlight the exciting and diverse conference venues in the Liverpool and Merseyside region. We were asked to produce a book that contained a lot of complex information that is easy to navigate through whilst attaining an attractive design layout. We were made aware that the book had to compete with other international conference destinations and needed to project Liverpool and Merseyside as a leader in this market. Our approach was to position the region as cosmopolitan, contemporary and confident, the book was printed in 5 colours using a litho silver to add to the overall high quality.

The project won a Best Brochure Silver Award at the National MIMA (Meetings Industry Marketing Awards) 2008.
