Charles Woodward (VTT) – Cross-Media AR Applications: Case Dibidogs
I will present a case study of implementíng a number of commercial cross-media AR projects dealing with the award-winning 3D children’s TV series “Dibidogs”. First we developed an animated AR demo for the Dibidogs production company Futurecode to support their marketing activities. A similar application was implemented as web based solution for Scandinavia’s biggest media house Aller, to promote the launch of the TV series in April 2010. In a project commissioned by Nokia, the Dibidogs adventured on N900 phones in Finland’s pavillion at Sanghai World Expo 2010. An augmented Dibidogs storybook with photorealistic rendering and other novel features appeared in August 2010, with the project commissioned by Futurecode and the book publisher Paasilinna. Near future plans include publishing of new AR books for international distribution, as well as Dibidogs AR games in real world environments. I will include in the presentation figures of the different revenue streams generated by the projects, as well as customer comments on how the AR solutions have had impact on their business.
