Sony: Project Shiphunt

The specialist games team at unit9 have crafted an engaging gaming experience for Sony – Project Shiphunt: Oceans of Treasure.

The game equips players with Sony and Intel technology, allowing them to search and scan the depths of the oceans around us from their living room in search of sunken shipwrecks for the chance to win real loot.

One of the first ever fully story-based games created in Google Earth, we’ve stretched the Google Earth API capabilities (which were never intended to be used as a gaming platform) to provide a beautifully fluid gaming experience requiring constant communication between the intricate Flash elements and the customised backend.

Rich Media Banners: John Lewis

We’ve crafted some banners for adam&eve to showcase the new John Lewis fashion range for Spring 2011.

The banners utilise geolocation technology and a smart weather API to determine the users local weather condition. Based on this information, the banner shows the outfit that is most suitable for the local conditions. The user can interact by scrolling forwards and back through the various looks to suit a variety of weather conditions. On rollover, every single item of clothing and accessory can be shared by facebook, twitter and mail, or simply bought directly from the John Lewis store.

The challenge was to create rich, visually stunning banners that incorporate 3D and CGI effects, with high quality video shot at 1000fps, and include a host of features and user interactions within the rich media file size limit.

Fable III: Kingmaker Mobile Phone based game

Part advertising campaign, part social media initiative and part incentive-based behavioral economic programme – a massively multi-player, mobile phone-based game created to get gamers into the world of Fable III before the title launches on October 29th.

Players download an app to their Android, iPhone, Symbian or Windows Phone 7 (when it launches) GPS-enabled smartphone, and then use it to conquer pre-determined regions drawn across Europe for one of the 2 Kingmaker factions. Doing this earns them gold that they can then actually spend in Fable III when it comes out.

The unit9 tech team developed the project entirely on Windows platforms – Silverlight 4 / WCF RIA Services / Bing Maps / ASP.NET MVC 2 and hosted on Windows Azur cloud server, working closely with the digital team at McCann Erickson. A Microsoft solution for Microsoft.

Heineken: Know The Signs

“Know the signs” is part of the “Enjoy Heineken responsibly”™ marketing plan through which Heineken aims to provide comprehensive information about the advantages and the disadvantages of its products in order to facilitate a balanced consumer choice.

Welcome to my bar. Keep an eye on a crowded bar via CCTV camera. You are looking out for  the signs of people drinking too much. The film shot for Internet contains signs of these transformation that users are engaged to find. Once a sign is discovered, user can send their friends an Oddcast viral. Because personal relevance of the Archetypes will drive the viral mechanism, the capability for personalisation is key to the success of the campaign.

unit9 collaborated with TV production company Outsider to set up the interactive logic and also assisted in the shoot of a bar under surveillance, which provides for alternative realities at certain key moments. We created a strong visual identity – a contemporary and fun approach to deliver the underlying message of responsible drinking.

There is a great post on viralblog about the rest of the integrated campaign. Read the news story in Contagious magazine. Or check it out in Contagious DVD Eighteen.
