CLIENT: Bayer SP. z o.o.
NOVEMBER 2012

235 MEDIA designed and realised a two-area 3D Brand Space for Bayer’s company location in Warsaw. The entire media planning and installation process was handled by 235 MEDIA. In the showroom area, backlit printed graphics fill the walls and lend the room an intensive background atmosphere that directs the visitor’s concentration to a large Interactive Table presenting products and innovations from all Bayer subgroups.

The Interactive Table is fitted with an RFID receiver unit for nine tokens, also developed by 235 MEDIA, that contain RFID transmitter chips. The tokens, which are distributed over stainless-steel pedestals around the Interactive Table, each represent a specific Bayer product and initiate an associated product story when placed on the specially provided area on the table. This haptic device is an additional attractive and often-used interactive feature that allows visitors to explore Bayer’s products and innovations. The application is based on the Interactive Cross-Linked Media Database developed by 235 MEDIA. This software system can be used with various presentation media (touch screen, Interactive Table, website, etc.) and allows location-specific adaptation and worldwide updating of complex content via a server system. Developed for Bayer AG, the system is used across the globe and has already been implemented in the languages German, English, Chinese, Finnish, Polish, Russian and Spanish. The content’s editorial management and implementation is carried out at 235 MEDIA.

Three monitors built into a wall show “Challenge/Solution Videos” that illustrate Bayer’s commitment to the core competencies of health, agriculture and materials science within the context of global megatrends.

The second area of the 3D Brand Space, which can be separated from the showroom area by a sliding glass wall, is referred to as a laboratory and acts as a versatile multi-functional room for group visits, talks and similar events. The room is equipped with two touch-screen monitors, radio microphones and ceiling loudspeakers, as well as mobile tables and seating. 235 MEDIA installed a management unit in an alcove, allowing all monitor content and audio functions to be controlled and combined via a touch screen and intuitive user menu. Thanks to an integrated matrix, additional information such as films, animations, applications or external signals from a laptop can be displayed on any monitor.

The new premises of Bayer’s Liaison Office Germany in Berlin offer the ideal conditions for communicating innovation in a hands-on fashion. In close cooperation with Bayer AG’s Communications – Corporate Events department, 235 MEDIA designed the entire showroom, from the artistic concept to the interior architecture and the media planning and realisation.

Laid out as an open communication area, the Liaison Office in the headquarters of Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals is equipped with an Interactive Table that presents products and innovations from all Bayer subgroups. The application is based on the Interactive Cross-Linked Media Database developed by 235 MEDIA. This software system can be used with various presentation media (touch screen, Interactive Table, website, etc.) and allows location-specific adaptation and worldwide updating of complex content via a server system. Developed for Bayer AG, the system is used across the globe and has already been implemented in the languages German, English, Chinese, Finnish, Polish, Russian and Spanish. The content’s editorial management and implementation is carried out at 235 MEDIA.

To allow larger visitor groups to access the information conveyed through the various media, the Liaison Office is also equipped with a large-format projection wall. The projected content – such as films, content from the Interactive Table or PowerPoint presentations – is controlled via a tablet PC equipped with an intuitive user interface developed specially by 235 MEDIA.

A large counter provides structure to the room and allows the company to provide catering for guests. In addition, an integrated USB interface allows, for example, a notebook computer to be connected and further content to be presented on the projection wall.

Large-format prints that fill the walls in the hallway area and showroom act as visual anchor points and present the spectrum of Bayer’s activities in the fields of health, agriculture and materials science.

EXPONATEC
The international trade fair for museums, conservation and cultural heritage.
NOVEMBER 2011

We are looking back on a successful EXPONATEC 2011, the international trade fair for museums, conservation and cultural heritage.

As in the last four years 235 MEDIA presented scenography concepts, specialized interactive solutions, and multimedia exhibits. We had many interesting conversations, and we are looking forward to new and exciting projects.

The following innovations were introduced at the EXPONATEC 2011:

3D Sensor

The 3D Sensor is able to detect the exact coordinates of moving persons, objects, or parts of the user’s body by tracking infrared photo points. Now we are able to add the third dimension to a multi-touch controller and thus to transform the system into a gesture tracking system. A wide range of new controls of interactive applications is conceivable by this new technology. We are also able to link the system to other sensor technologies like single touch, or radar sensors to extend the possibilities for interaction design even more. Further more the 3D Sensor can be combined

Interactive network media database

A unique software system which consists of a combination of media database, web-based Content Management System and an interactive application. Complex interactive applications on client computers dispersed all over the world in as many language as wished can be controlled easily, which helps to achieve a high degree of sustainability for your content management and presentations.

Fly ButterFly – interactive wall projection

Butterflies, flowers,  leafs are dancing and floating to the rhythm of the music. Fly ButterFly is an interactive installation, which generates motifs according to the music you are listening to. You can create your own program by selecting images out of the library and by controlling speed, behaviour or size of the desired objects. Fly ButterFly can be customized for any architectural situation by using one to eight projectors, or a 360-degree-panorama.

CLIENT: DB MUSEUM

DECEMBER 2010

Until the 27th February 2011 the DB Museum celebrated 175 years of railway in Germany with its special exhibition “Planet Railway”. For this exhibition several multimedia interactive installations were realised by 235 MEDIA. Using intuitive movements the visitors can turn a seemingly three-dimensional globe and in doing so learn interesting information about the development of the railway system. The radar-touch used here allows for a multi-touch interaction without actually contact. On an eight meter half-round wall, pictures of the future railway assemble to futuristic sounds from particles floating in from the room. The visitors are able to choose pictures from the double projection via a capacititive sensor system and receive further information. The Railomate, a 42“-touch screen with camera, the visitors can virtually choose between different railway caps and put them on. The result can be sent home via e-mail as a greeting.

An interactive table demonstrates to the visitor that the railway was a driving factor for the introduction of a common time zone in the German Empire. An animated map of around 1880, with sound design and speech, first shows how the railway net expanded and more and more trains ran. Eight realistic church spire models show different times. On the sound off a bell the clocks synchronise and the trains drive smoothly throughout the whole empire.

MAY 2006

The two projections show old film footage from the everyday life of the iron and steel workers. The challenge in the design of the projection screens was in their integration into the lavishly restored pre-industrial architecture. The solution developed by 235 MEDIA is called transparence. The installed Priva-Lite panels are inconspicuously translucent in an inactive state, but, upon entering the room, triggered sensors turn them opaque, so that they can then serve as an optimal screen for the incipient projection. One panel is installed in the timberwork of the Möllerbodens and the other in the area of the discharge aperture in front of a brick masonry structure.

The interactive table developed by 235 MEDIA is a central element of the exhibition and illustrates the former production process by means of lavish computer animations. Visitors to the museum discover in eight steps, and with the use of animations, voice recordings, images and graphics, emotively presented details about the pre-industrial working methods in the ironworks.

Pizza Tisch

Posted by Lina Heuschen

2001

The development of the interactive table shown here for the catering industry was one of the pilot projects of 235 MEDIA ® evolution, intended to optimally combine elements from art, design and technology. The product qualities of the system are geared to the needs of gastronomy with regard to aesthetic-sensory quality, involvement, emotion and function, moods, etc. The interactive processes create new moments of experience, which redefine the relationship between space and user, between real and virtual communication levels.

The basic concept includes a menu selection, which can be tailored to different needs. As in a modular system the application is extensible, eg through games, video or camera recordings or the associative visualisation of the proposal. In addition, there are various possibilities to influence the spatial environment: different sensors allow, for example, interactive illumination control or influence on the sound level.

The presentation should provide an idea of the manifold possibilities for the use of interactive tables in the field of gastronomy. In concrete applications these opportunities would be customised to individual needs and space specifications.
