In the 1930s, the movies inspired innovative companies to create the first commercials. Today’s generation has grown up with games and expect information to be interactive, 3D compelling in real-time, as in a game. They do not want to be fed passive information. They want to try, enquire, explore and configure. Smart companies like Toyota/Lexus, Boeing, Suzuki, and Siemens are quickly adapting their communications to this new and rapidly growing trend by using EON’s software.
“With EON’s holographic display solutions and content development, we were able to communicate on a new level in our ongoing Lexus marketing campaign,” said Jennifer Weinberg, project leader for Team One. “The excitement this program has generated in over half a dozen major U.S. locations is unprecedented. EON’s 3D has helped differentiate our branding in a fun and entertaining way.”
Why look at a static picture, a pre-rendered animation, when you can explore and share your models in full virtual reality for free?
With the use of EON Raptor™, the 3ds Max user can create interactive walkthroughs and product configurations within minutes, saving time and money and offering a more flexible development tool, due to its interactive nature.
