Ventuz Guides a Virtual Dive at Expo 2012 in Yeosu Korea
German Pavilion Wins Gold Award for “Best Content Implementation” of Event Theme
Ventuz Technology, provider of high-end 3D graphics software technology played an integral role in the interactive content display for the award-winning “Seavolution” German pavilion at the World Expo Yeosu Korea 2012. The Ventuz software suite was used by German-based multimedia agency Deutsche Werbewelt to create large scale interactive installations that demonstrated an animated voyage of discovery beneath the ocean.
“The Living Ocean and Coast” was this year’s Expo theme, where more than 100 countries and international organizations were invited to communicate and demonstrate their ideas for balancing the preservation of ocean and coastal areas with economic development. The next World Expo will be held in 2015 in Milan, Italy.
"Seavolution" ("Sea" and "Evolution") presented by Germany, consisted of three exhibition areas: "Coasts," "Biotope," and "Treasure chamber." The technologically sophisticated exhibits ranged from environmentally-friendly ships, tidal power stations, tsunami early warning systems, waste in the sea, overfishing, to the wealth of resources found on the bottom of the ocean. The German Pavilion at Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea was organized by the HMC on behalf of the BMWi. The concept for content design was provided by the working group facts and fiction GmbH and GTP Architekten. For more information, visit http://www.expo2012-deutschland.de.
Deutsche Werbewelt utilized Ventuz to plan, produce, create, and develop a variety of graphical and content-rich visualization applications that guided visitors at the Expo through interactive touch-screens, as well as dynamic presentations of a number of scientific oceanic evolutions. At the heart of the entire set of highly immersive experiences was the Ventuz software suite, a feature-rich solution that not only provided Deutsche Werbewelt with the production toolset, but also enabled visitor browsing and touch-screen interaction, as well as multi-dimensional and multi-layered content.
“For many years Ventuz has been our number one choice for creating interactive applications,” commented Dennis Presche with Deutsche Werbewelt. “It allows us to work extremely fast and adjust to the customer’s needs and wishes in the most flexible way.Therefore it was the perfect tool for a project of this size and versatility. There are no limits to our creativity with Ventuz.”
Due to the overwhelming creativity and popularity of “Seavolution,” the Yeosu Korea organization committee awarded the German pavilion with the Gold Award for the “best content implementation” of the event’s theme.
