Aereal created the Java ad banners and Java/VRML buffer pages
for GMO Advertising as part
of the Web advertising campaign for Symantec Cafe,
the leading Java IDE (Integrated Development Environment). The solution
addressed concerns such as multi-platform performance, download times,
and electronic word of mouth marketing. The technology included sophisticated Java applets,
breath-taking graphic design, punchy sounds, bright HTML pages, and illuminating VRML worlds.
Symantec is a major software company, whose Cafe Java IDE is very popular among
advanced Java developers. Goldberg Moser O'Neill is a top-notch award-winning advertising agency.
Aereal has worked with the Interactive Marketing Services division of HP's
Direct Marketing Organization to develop advanced Web sites that are personalized
for one-to-one marketing and individualized information, along with marketing
databases.
Aereal founder Adrian Scott was previously an Internet Specialist at HP,
where he helped produce several projects, including
the first launch of HP's Internet Server Web site.
The multimedia site included a game, a User Forum and sections with Case Studies, Product Briefs,
and Executive Information. Scott coordinated with outside vendors
and did final quality assurance, screened CGIs for security,
and released site. This project required working on a tight schedule, still delivering within budget.
Hewlett-Packard is a leader in computing and many other fields. It is particularly well-known
for its leadership in helping companies do business on the Internet.
RIKEN is the Institute of Physical and Chemical Sciences in Japan, an institute
with a long history of advanced research. Aereal is helping
RIKEN's Gene Bank integrate their services with the World-Wide Web, so that you can
order items like pieces of DNA over the Web from member banks: the
Cell Bank, DNA Bank, Plant Cell Bank and Genetic Information Bank. It brings a new
shade of meaning to the term "online banking"!
In addition, Aereal is working
with RIKEN's Genetic Information Bank to help bring their services to the Web. Researchers
will be able to analyze the structure and function of proteins over the Web. They
will be able to view proteins in 3D using VRML and select parts of the 3D protein
to get more information on structue and function. This will include links to other
research databases.
Aereal has helped Telepresence Research with
a project requiring advanced VRML and Web engineering for a Japanese company. Telepresence
Research is well-known as a pioneer in telepresence (virtual reality).
Aereal has helped Superscape with creating
advanced portions of their site and private sites using CGI. These have included sophisticated
database tracking. Superscape is a leader in advanced virtual reality applications
and development environments, with years of experience in the industry.
Solutions
Aereal has been pioneering new ways of creating advertisements
designed for good click-through response. These can include
the use of Java and VRML. Aereal recently created advertisements
using Java and VRML for GMO Advertising's Symantec Cafe campaign.
Aereal has been a pioneer in creating sophisticated web sites
with personalization. For instance, with Instant
VRML Home World, people create their own VRML World with a free
URL on Aereal's server. Aereal has also done special work for
Hewlett-Packard in this area.
Aereal brings a technical understanding of online commerce, but
also adds a strong marketing focus to all online commerce
web sites. Aereal has set up ordering software with database integration
for One Share of Stock. Aereal
is helping the RIKEN Gene Bank (Japan's Institute of Physical and
Chemical Sciences) implement systems for online ordering of DNA and cells.
Aereal can create spinning 3D logos in VRML for corporate web pages,
Web product catalogs, and ad banners. They're real attention-getters!
With Aereal's focus on personalization, Aereal can help create
online communities. Over 14,000 people have registered for Aereal's
Instant VRML Home World community.
Tech
Aereal has created several pioneering works in Java, including
combinations of Java and VRML. Aereal also created advertising
for GMO Advertising for Symantec Cafe, the hottest Java development
environment. In addition, CEO Adrian Scott is the editor of the
Java Professional Book Series (SIGS) and a regular contributor
to Java Report magazine.
Aereal has been pioneering exciting sites using CGI for more than a
year. Aereal has created advanced CGI engineering for Hewlett-Packard
and Superscape, among others.
Grapher lets you graph a function and derivative in 3-D using JavaScript and
VRML. You can set the beginning and ending coordinates for the graph, graph it
on the client side for quick speed, and then move around it in 3-D. These techniques
are useful for information visualization, for instance a bank or financial site
that would like to let users calculate mortgage payments and then view payments
to interest and principal in 3-D. Aereal created both VRML 1.0 and VRML 2.0
versions of this Grapher.
Aereal is developing exciting Java applications and applets
that will work with VRML 2.0 and Netscape's Live3D architecture.
The following screen shots show a world with a ball and text both
moving around at different speeds in a spiral staircase pattern
while gradually blinking in and out! VRML defines the geometry of the
world, and Java animates the ball and text.
Aereal's Corporate Home World includes light beams that move around, Aereal's logo, and
texture-mapped planets that link to parts of Aereal's site.
This was the first corporate VRML home world, now in
its third major revision.
Above and Below is an original Aereal world that includes a variety of viewpoints, for
easy navigation. The world has a deserted island, a ship,
an underwater shipwreck, sharks, a rainbow, and more.
As an example of Aereal's ability to keep VRML file sizes low,
this complex world is only 19K compressed.
Instant VRML Home World uses advanced CGI and a database on the server to let people
register and also to store the VRML Worlds they create.
BOOM! lets you rate a random world from a database of more than 1000 VRML URLs. Ratings
are entered in a rating database. All of this is done without using HTML, just CGI & VRML.
Aereal's Logo was created using VRML and LightWave.
Aereal's team members have been involved in several other exciting projects.
Big Book. Created and Implemented Initial Mapping Design using Geosystems API.
Hewlett-Packard's Audio Conference on Taking Your Business to the Net
Internet Slide Show. Managed site creation and release. Created comment
form, accompanying CGI processing and automated information distribution.
