Boffswana were engaged by Mark (M&C Saatchi Sydney) to develop a website that connected with Facebook to allow users to integrate themselves and their friends into a live action video.

The result is Mr Know It All, a campaign about Samsungs new Social Hub phone, which allows customers to combine all of their social feeds into the one interface.

Mr Know It All knows everything, about everybody, in his social circle. It’s the Office meets Social Networking.

The site was built on a combination of the Gaia Framework and RobotLegs, and presented a number of challenging technical hurdles to overcome in a very short timeframe. RobotLegs allowed the development team to work seamlessly together on various components of the site and rapidly bring them together with little fuss.

Warner Bros. (US) commissioned Boffswana to let users “Release The Kraken!” as Zeus (Liam Neeson) bellows in the movie Clash Of The Titans.

My first commercial Unity3D project at Boffswana, the Augmented Reality application recognises the print out, and places a 3D scene on the paper. The cove environment extends into the paper as if it’s a window into another dimension. The highly detailed 3D Kraken emerges from the ocean to a dramatic soundtrack, and the user is able to move the scene, even pushing right into the world to get a closer look.

The user is also able to press S to have the Kraken swipe, and R to make the Kraken roar.

The site was developed to be deployed for other languages easily, through XML and external images.

Players launch themselves into the air by timing the power bar to get maximum height.  They are then able to steer themselves as they fly through the air with the aim of staying in the air as long as possible and scoring maximum points.  Players steer themselves through the air bouncing off hot air balloons or finding up currents to gain extra air time.  Collecting bottle caps and landing in a designated target area give you extra points.

Wrigley’s 5 Gum “Stimulates Your Senses”  was the core objective of the new www.5gum.fr website.

The innovative site targets both the visual and auditory senses.

Boffswana was engaged to create a site utilising Augmented Reality to enable users to listen and control various music tracks as a sound mixer. Once three base tracks have been selected, users can modify the audio being played through the simultaneous use of three controlling markers.

Boffswana enjoyed collaborating with M&C Saatchi and Mark for their client Optus and their new brand campaign Whale Song.

Showing off skills in Realtime Papervision3D in Flash we were responsible for the creation of the underwater environment including the modeling, texturing and animation of the whale as well as the creation of the environment it lives in.

Boffswana created the interface to ‘communicate’ with the whale. By pressing various keys on the keyboard, orchestral music is played through the underwater speakers creating attraction points within the environment that the whale will want to swim too. The attractiveness of these points in the environment to the whale varies with user’s activity on the keyboard. The whale has a series of movements and levels of activity that are relative to the intensity of the user’s interaction with the keyboard and the composing of music for the whale.

The ground breaking project gives you the ability to ‘mess’ with the Jack Link’s Beef Jerky Sasquatch in a whole new way by bringing him out of your computer, onto your desk!

You can choose from 35 different Sasquatch animations and add them to a timeline and record your interaction with the Sasquatch through an intuitive and easy to use drag and drop interface.

You can even add speech bubbles to give Sasquatch a voice!

Once these short movies have been created, you can send them to friends and add the movies to the public gallery. Movies in the gallery then receive “Stomps of approval” or votes from other viewers of the site.

It’s movie making with a difference where you are the writer, editor, director and co-star with your very own 3D Sasquatch.

The original Augmented Reality demo of Boffswana’s Proto Character taken from the desktop to the desk using Flash. Proto became an instant mascot for Boffswana with the demonstration video popping up on blogs around the world and receiving over 279,000 views. He has since been used to demonstrate all manner of technologies including Boffswana’s latest demos in headtracking for 3D VR display.

GPY&R came to Boffswana to develop an online interactive 3D character and Facebook Application for their client Cadbury Schweppes Australia. The campaign for their Spring Valley brand, involves ‘finding and meeting’ your own ‘Sensible’; a comical character that inhabits us all, is directly impacted by our lifestyle choices and exists to remind us that we occasionally need to do something good for our bodies. The aim of the site is to allow users to see and interact with their own Sensible, inform their Sensible as to what they have been up to, and then care for their Sensible.

Boffswana was commissioned by Publicis Mojo to create a 3D product carousel using Papervision3D, a rich 3D engine written in flash. As Publicis Digital’s own team of designers and developers worked on other elements of the site, we created a carousel mechanism featuring dynamic lighting, different display modes and a simple API to help the integration of the carousel back into the rest of the sites structure.

To promote NAB’s sponsorship of the Socceroos for last years Asian Cup games, Boffswana was commissioned by Clemenger Blue to design and develop a large scale interactive Flash game.

Featuring fully animated 3D versions of John Aloisi, Tim Cahill, Harry Kewell and Archie Thompson, the game allows players to take control of their favourite Socceroo and run him through a series of post goal “Celebration Dance” moves.
