A new project in cooperation with BOQOO: Barcelona is suffering heavily from too many flyers. Though i quite like good printed stuff, we have an environmental issue coming up here sooner or later. Therefore we are starting to implement pur new POI devices, where everybody from local to tourist can get the latest club information straight to our Flash + Phidget driven Terminals. Watch out for the full report in a couple of days.
Based on Phidgets RFID Interface, the Phidget Server and some Frontend made in Flash I have built a nice Car Configurator Interface.
The main idea was, to improve the users experience concerning haptics and recognition of materials and colors involved in the configuration process of a car by giving them the opportunity to change e.g. the color by dragging a RFID tagged and painted item over a hotspot to change the cars color. Due to the fact that the user actually saw the real paint before, makes it easier to experience the same color on the rotateable 3D-model of the car.
