Overview
GMG designed and developed multimedia content for inclusion in the exhibit for Orbital’s client. The multimedia includes engine animations, user interface design, and design and construction of a hardware rig for driving LEDs from the multimedia presentation. The system also includes design and implementation of a custom software layer to enable communication between the multimedia presentation and the hardware.
GMG specified the computer and touch screen components for Orbital to purchase. We also consulted to the requirements for the LEDs.
At the show, this exhibit was the only one to make use of interactive multimedia as a tool to get prospects with suppliers. The overwhelmingly positive response to this presentation is generating new business for the client as well as GMG!
Multimedia
This included processing the 3D engine models as supplied by Orbital, rigging the models for animation, creating the animations, and rendering to video. The touch screens have a user interface designed to access and coordinate the different pieces of video and other information. Programming included control routines to coordinate LED activity on the physical engine.
Hardware LED control rig
Programming of a custom hardware control layer and design and construction of a hardware interface module provides access to multimedia presentation so that it can drive LEDs included in the physical engine. This lets the multimedia highlight cut away areas of the engine and any other points of interest.
