MicroSearch Interactive Sales Tool

IDEAS2IMAGE combined 3D modeling with interactive technology to create an interactive sales toll for ENSCO's MicroSearch product.


Project Synopsis            

ENSCO, Inc. produces a powerful heartbeat detection system, called MicroSearch. This cutting-edge sensor system can detect the heartbeat of a human that is hiding in vehicles. As great as the technology is, it is more than the business development team wanted to carry during sales visits.  ENSCO asked IDEAS2IMAGE to develop an interactive sales tool that would help business development team convey the strengths of MicroSearch.

IDEAS2IAMGE developed an interactive sales presentation for ENSCO that explained the benefits of the MicroSearch system then depicted its use in a border and cargo inspection scenario.  The scenarios were created as virtual case studies using 3D modelling software.  The user interface of the piece was built to mirror established MicroSearch brand elements.  IDEAS2IMAGE created the sales presentation tool using Adobe Flash™, XML, and 3D Graphics.  Although built in Flash, the presentation is not meant to be distributed to an online audience.  Instead, ENSCO loaded and distributed the tool on to USB “jump” drives.

The content that is displayed in the sales presentation can be easily updated by replacing images or text files that are stored alongside the Flash file.  When in the field, ENSCO’s business development team can present to prospective clients by using the stand-alone Flash Player or a web browser with the Flash plug-in.


Process: Learn–Solve–Deliver

Multimedia is a dynamic medium, encompassing animation, video, and interactive technology.  We examine your goals and target market, but also consider the degree to which the market will be able to engage the multimedia component that requires a specific technology to function.  IDEAS2IMAGE builds accessible interfaces that rely on tools that are broadly adopted in the market.  We research technology usage data to ensure that we are correctly selecting a supporting technology, so that multimedia platform does not become an impediment to user engagement.

Our team solves communication challenges by employing creative approaches to interface design, navigation, and effects, which allow your message to take center stage.  We use the tools that are provided within a multimedia presentation to enable a user to interact with content in an intuitive fashion, without being concerned with the sophisticated programming that is powering the experience.

IDEAS2IMAGE delivers tools that are built in a modular way, so that they are easy to update and keep current.  We leverage the knowledge gained during our discovery phase, so that your audience will enjoy a fluid user experience that supports your brand, goals, and vision.
