The installation using gesture technology generated a lot of buzz both online and offline because of its unique content and technology capability.

Client: eyeSight

Industry:: Media and Entertainment

Objective: To use gesture technology to boost social interaction

Product: MotionMagix™ Interactive Wall

Gesture recognition is all set to change the way we interact with almost everything. What would you say if we told you that you could DJ a beat box on the street? Our partner wanted to see how people react to gesture recognition technology and if this technology could boost social interaction. TouchMagix developed the content and software for this installation for this very purpose. At the heart of this interaction lies the technology behind MotionMagix™ Interactive Wall. A hand icon flashed on the screen and people had to copy the motion displayed on the screen to start the program. As in a music mixer the content was designed to split into smaller parts, this screen and the music could be controlled by many people at the same time. A large number of people gathered to check out and interact with this installation. It was a lot of fun to see people grooving to the tune of this gesture controlled beat box. This novel public interaction program was a huge success and generated a lot of interest even online because of its unique interactive content. It got its share of appreciation even in social media and received close to a 100,000 views soon after it was uploaded.

Impact: The installation generated a lot of buzz both online and offline because of its unique content and technology capability becoming a viral sensation.

Interactive technology kept kids engaged while parents were busy shopping.

Client: Seematti Textiles

Industry: Retail

Objective: To engage kids in an interactive manner so that customers can have a comfortable buying experience.

Product: MotionMagix™ Interactive Floor

Brief: Taking kids shopping is a mammoth task by itself. With the advent of the new age shopping malls kids, at least, give parents some respite all thanks to the presence of kids play areas and gaming zones. But most parents have to reconcile with bored and annoyed kids when they have to visit a standalone store. Seematti textiles in Kochi understood and identified this major gap in providing a pleasant shopping experience and decided to have a separate gaming zone for juniors of the sari lovers who visited their huge store. Instead of having just a play area for kids, Sematti decided to look towards new technology keeping in mind the young, extremely informed and hard to please demographic. To capture the imagination of the varied age group a MotionMagix™ Interactive Floor was placed in the store and the projector for the same was concealed above the false ceiling. This interactive floor was powered with 20 interactive games designed for kids of all ages to capture their imagination and keep them engaged. While there are single and multi player options, these games are designed to keep many kids engaged all at the same time. So the children could go and play while the parents shopped away peacefully. A well designed strategy by the store owners to keep the cash registers ring.

Impact: The use of interactive technology made it possible to keep the kids engaged for a longer period of time facilitating focused buying and increased turnout and generate an overall great customer experience.

Along with the regular football and tennis games to check the participants’ physical agility, there were special games tailored for the company to promote a sense of camaraderie and team work between employees. The unusual mix of games generated a great sense of interest amongst the employees and ensured enthusiastic participation making this team building exercise a great success.

An Interactive Driving Game that Teaches and Entertains

Annual GCC Traffic Week in Qatar, visitors played a racing game on a MotionMagix™ Interactive Wall while learning about traffic safety.

Client: Qatar Police

Industry: Public / Government Services

Objective: To drive road and traffic awareness in an interactive manner

Product: MotionMagix™ Interactive Wall

Brief: The prosperity of the Gulf countries has brought with it a mini crisis on the roads. The authorities across the region are cognizant of the problem and among the many initiatives they have taken to try and improve the situation is the annual GCC Traffic Week. Held in Darb El-Saai the event this year saw enthusiastic participation from a number of government and other bodies with a stake in the issue. The Qatar Police was prominent among the participants. Their thrust was on creating awareness about road safety, reducing accidents and finding solutions to traffic problems. The approach was to target the youth and the young ones with a traffic exhibition, a safe driving simulator and games. A big hit with the visitors was an interactive racing game played on a MotionMagix™ Interactive Wall. The visitors could use their moves and gestures to control their cars and race through the course – while learning about traffic safety of-course. What better way to drive home these rather dry concepts into the consciousness of the visitors.

Impact: The Interactive game played a big role in re-enforcing the traffic and road safety concepts among the visitors.

Corporate game engagement packs for building leadership, teamwork, problem solving attitude in employees.

Objective: To move employees – physically as well as in tune with corporate values

Product: MotionMagix™ Interactive Floor, MotionMagix™ Interactive Floor, Magix™ Table, Multi-touch MagixKiosk™

Brief: Employee engagement is becoming key and corporates are recognising that special effort has to be continuously made to keep employees involved and happy. This is full-time occupation – be it while at work as usual or during company events and outings. Games and other fun activities play a key role in this strategy for most companies and the role that Interactivity can play here is immediately apparent. With this in mind we recently released focused corporate game engagement packs for deployment in the office as well at corporate events like outings. The pack has 10 specially designed games targeted at corporates, 5 each for the floor and the wall. These games include favourites like soccer and tennis along with other, more unusual games testing balance, reaction time and speed.
The games promote not only physical exercise but also have themes relevant to corporate culture building like leadership, teamwork, problem solving and taking the initiative among others.
Versions of the games are also available on the MagixTable™ and the MagixKiosk™ for offices with space constraints.

Impact: Interactive games have been proven to be effective at promoting employee interest and engagement within the corporate context and the games packs should go a long way towards that objective.
