1 month TCS consultancy: videodisc integration
Consumer technology leader Sony wanted to model the potential for enhancing full-motion, high resolution videodisc images with dynamically-updatable graphics and interactive navigation.
The Communication Studio created a direct marketing prototype for Ford Motor Company based on the Sony videodisc player.
We demonstrated:
- Interactive Tour of product features
- Mapping overlays
- Electronic Catalog
- Order Entry
We provided graphics, software applications, navigation and screen linkages for Sony's full-motion videodisc "site". TCS integrated a touch-sensitive screen display device as the user interface.
Design Productivity Tools & Consultation
We licensed our TCS Textup Context Management System and other tools to Sony for use in developing interactive products for videodisk that could be dynamically updated using online systems.
This was real leading edge new media convergence working with technology industry leaders. Not bad for the mid-80's.
