Storm offers industry expertise in strategic product communication with deliveries in 3D animation, film, 3D visualisations, printed and digital graphic communication material.
BREEZ is a unique interactive presentation tool built as a
content communications platform. BREEZ is scalable and its functionality spans the lifetime of products and projects. From early on in the idea and the design phase, as a work tool, and later as a presentation tool.
The platform is full of functionality and has many advantages. These can be applied to get a quick and accurate evaluation of different solutions. Later the same refined content can be displayed and presented with the same tool - for training and marketing and familiarisation purposes, communicating your products, operations and installations.
BREEZ builds all its content round a fully interactive 3D model. The size and complexity of the model makes no difference. It can be as small as a bolt or as large as a coastline with multiple installations.
The technology is based on the latest gaming platforms and provide realistic experiences with a high visual quality.
You can navigate the model by walking or flying through the content. You can also navigate through a handy menu, linking all areas and products.
There is no limit to what information or functions you can link to the different areas. You can operate equipment, interact with audio, text, images and animations.
All the information is presented in an interactive manner that engages the audience.
As your product or project evolve, your communication needs will also change. Having a flexible and dynamic tool that maximise the use of, and build on your existing content is essential.
BREEZ is easy to scale according to varying and developing needs.
BREEZ has advanced developer functions that makes giving feedbacks, tracking changes and keeping everyone in the team up to date - a breeze.
Using BREEZE in an early phase of development secures a good evaluation and conceptual decisions related to product design, ergonomics, field of vision, work environment, layot, GUI etc.
Some examples of how Unity VR environment is used in product development are:
- Bridge and workstation studies
- Field of vision, ergonomics etc.
- GUI studies in real environment
- Study of equipment modes and movements
- Workspace studies
When the project is finalised the interactive 3D model can be used for sales and marketing purposed. It is an easy interactive model to share with potential clients and interactive exploration of product in sales meetings or fairs. The sales tool can easily be updated when for example expanding your product range.
BREEZE has several areas of usage on different several platforms:
- On webpage as interactive brochure
- Replace power point in presentations
- Fair displays offering interactive exploration
- VR head gear experience in trade shows
Input from expert users on product design, ergonomics, field of vision, work environment etc. throughout the development process secures valuable end users input. This helps the development team in making good strategic decisions and understanding customers need.
Some examples of how Unity VR environment is used for harvesting Expert User information are:
- VR bridge and workstation situations
- Expose EU to interactive GUI concepts
- Study of equipment modes and movements
- Interactive workspace studies
You can make presentations with a predefined path, navigating with ease. Simply click your way through the presentation. This frees your attention and allows you to focus on your audience.
A scene, or room if you like, can have many alternative layouts. You can move equipment in a scene, change textures, surfaces and save the different layouts for easy split screen comparison.
A rich presentation can have many categories of information. These categories can be sorted in layers, and can easily be turned on or off to based on what information you want displayed.
You can with ease create your own custom video animations and share them with colleges and clients. You can also set the camera and export stills from whatever angle you choose.
Environment is a powerful function. You can control the weather, rain, snow, wind, fog, or even waves. Turn day into night, and control the scenery, are you in the artic or the tropics?
Information can be portrayed in many ways. Hotspots are areas that link to functionality or information. Trigger animations, control equipment, display videos, images and text.
BREEZ has many tools that aid you in the early development phase. Use the measure tool to check the size of any surface, or measure distances.
What can be better than scheduling your next meeting within your own model and virtual environment. Bring your client on a guided tour and let them experience your products first hand. A perfect way of simulating your surroundings.
3D models tend to be large in data size. BREEZ handles all your data, making sure you only download the latest changes to the presentation as it grows. The cloud also stores all user generated presentations and layouts for safe document handling.
Streamlining the production process is critical to achieve a good result. Admin users can give feedback and comment on any part of the content. A custom made visual change-log highlights all changes to the model, including material changes, and lets you track changes with ease.
