(yes, we know this page needs some work, we've just been so busy with these projects we haven't had time to think about it)
We built the real-time stock tickers and the quiz kiosks to power this promotion, which was a one-day event in Bryant Park, NYC, to announce Bank of America $0/trade brokerage accounts.
Hardware includes Barco outdoor LED dot matrix signs and plasma displays, driven by a video processor. The "Fiscally Fit" kiosk quiz game was built with Flash and deployed on 10 kiosks powered by Mac Minis. Here are some photos on Flickr that we took of the event (set 1 and set 2) and also some pictures of the setup the day/night before.
We integrated the hardware and wrote the software to power this promotion, which toured major cities in the US. For the event, each participant threw 3 pitches, and Bank of America donated an amount of money based on the speed and accuracy of the pitches, to Little League baseball.
Hardware includes large LED dot matrix signs, small LED digit signs, a radar gun, and a computer. Here are some photos on Flickr [these were not taken by us] of the SpeedPitch as featured on the Today show. Video coming soon if we can clear it with everyone.
Based on our experience working on several cutting-edge "Web 2.0" projects, AOL1 hired us to create the documentation and partner development kits for the launch of AIM Pages — customized, interactive profile pages that AIM users share with others. We worked alongside AOL's internal marketing and development teams to develop clear, easy-to-understand documentation, module and theme tutorials, and sample source code for developers to use as templates for creating their own AIM Pages modules and themes.
We designed and architected a turnkey video storage and search product for our client that gives visitors to their media site the ability to search TV broadcasts for specific video clips by keyword. The search results are returned in the form of video clips and written transcripts. The project involved developing a system for storing closed captioned feeds, extensive search functionality, and integration with Windows Media Server. See minimalist | projects | tvsearch.
We build features and provide on-going maintenance for an online digital video delivery service with over 7 million subscribers. We developed technology allowing for millions of users to participate in a simultaneous viewing experience, merging the broadcast-quality experience of television with the interactivity and accountability of the Internet.
High resolution video downloads are fast and reliable; the well-known problems associated with streaming video such as buffering and caching do not affect the client application.
Content providers can precisely time their digital video content delivery. Broadcasts can utilize specific scheduling based on global or local times zones across the world. See minimalist | projects | video delivery.
We developed an installable Windows application for Microsoft and Ziff Davis Media. The tool allows companies to identify security weaknesses in their current IT environment. It includes comprehensive reporting and localization for 14 different languages.
This application has the distinction of being the most well received and widely deployed application via the Microsoft Partner Program. It's available for download at www.securityguidance.com
We developed an application for Microsoft and Ziff Davis that allows mid-sized organizations to evaluate the total cost of upgrading their current installations of server software. The project involved the creation of a desktop application, localized in 11 languages, and used Web Services to report data back to a central server.
We created a highly-interactive website for this mobile phone company to showcase their cell phone camera functionality to college students. The site included extensive image handling and complex visitor/session tracking and reporting
We created the product activation functionality and multiple online features for a highly-rated PC internet research application3 which allows users to collect, organize, and share information they find online.
