<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ik sta op het punt de parkeerplaats voor ons kantoor op te rijden. Voor mij rijdt mijn collega, die hetzelfde van plan is. Plotseling staat hij op z’n rem. Op gepaste afstand stop ik ook en zie dat een blokkade vanwege wegwerkzaamheden de doorgang verspert.<span id="more-481"></span></p>
<p>Een paar meter verderop staat een man in een oranje hesje wild te zwaaien. M’n collega begint zijn auto te keren en lijkt van plan om terug naar de weg te gaan. Ongeduldig als ik ben, rij ik langs hem heen de stoep op. Ik toeter naar mijn collega om mijn voorbeeld te volgen, maar hij is inmiddels weggereden. Nu gebaart de man in het oranje hesje wat ik zelf al bedacht had, dat we de parkeerplaats via de stoep kunnen bereiken.</p>
<p>Terwijl ik mijn auto aan de elekrische oplaadpaal koppel, komt mijn collega aangelopen. Ik vraag hem of hij die man niet zag zwaaien. “Jawel, maar dan moest ik de stoep op en dan rij ik liever een eindje om.” Natuurlijk, ik was ongeduldig en ben liever lui dan moe. Tegelijkertijd had ik niet veel keus. Ik rij elektrisch en moest mijn auto opladen en de oplaadpaal staat nu eenmaal op deze parkeerplaats. Als ik daarvoor een stoepje moet meepakken, dan doe ik dat zonder twijfel. Het gedrag van mijn collega vond ik merkwaardig. Wat gelooft hij over verkeersregels?</p>
<p>Verkeersregels zijn vergelijkbaar met processen en procedures binnen ondernemingen. Die zijn bedoeld om helderheid te verschaffen en een bedrijf in veilige banen te leiden. Maar dat wil niet zeggen dat we er blind op moeten varen. De regels zijn er onder meer ter bescherming van onszelf, maar daar moeten we een eigen invulling aan kunnen geven. De gemiddelde manager alias politieagent zal daar niet blij mee zijn. Als iedereen zijn eigen gang gaat, dan wordt het toch een chaos?</p>
<p>Bekijk het eens van deze kant: als we tijdens onze dagelijkse routine iedereen dwingen om altijd de regels te volgen, hoe gaan we er dan mee om als we een probleem tegenkomen? Mijn collega keert om en rijdt een stukje verder. Had ik ook kunnen doen, maar ik loste het anders op. Ik wist dat er over de stoep een doorgang was, er waren nergens voetgangers en ik kon me dan ook niet voorstellen dat ik door die paar meter over de stoep iemand in gevaar bracht. Ik hield me even niet aan de procedure en handelde naar eigen inzicht.</p>
<p>Hoe zou een onderneming eruitzien als we vaker dat ene stoepje pakken? Welke innovaties of efficiëntieverbeteringen zouden dan ontstaan? We zullen het nooit weten zolang we strikt de regels blijven volgen en overtreders vermanend toespreken: “Nee, nee, dat mag niet. Dat schrijft de wet voor!”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.quince.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/london-homepage.jpg" alt="" title="London Calling" width="642" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-469" /><br />
The 25th meeting of the Adobe User Group the Netherlands on December 7th had the theme ‘London Calling’: with 4 creative agencies from London on stage. As you might know, a creative agency needs to have a showreel. And the showreels of the top-knotch agencies on stage this day were indeed amazing. If you missed this meeting, be sure to see these guys in real life if you have the opportunity. For now, you can read through the review of this inspiring day and follow the links to find showreels.<br />
<span id="more-454"></span></p>
<h2>B-Reel &#8211; Lins Karnes &amp; Mattias Ekendahl</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.b-reel.com" target="_blank">B-Reel</a>, second time on stage at Adobe User Group The Netherlands, starts of explaining being a hybrid company: merging online, tv and real-life installations. And with all the positions being staffed in-company, closely working with B-Reel films, they believe this makes it possible for them to keep consistency over different media (online &amp; film) and do cool interactive research &amp; development.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-459" title="01" src="http://www.quince.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/01.jpg" alt="" width="647" height="359" /></p>
<p>See the Honda Civic “The Experiment” game, where different windows have to be placed in the right order to create the right chain-reaction. Sort of like the old game <a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Machine" target="_blank">The Incredible Machine</a>. B-reel highlighted all the challenges they had to overcome during the production of this application: with 150 movie clips, 1000+ possible reactions, preloading all different movie formats, HTML5 on all different browsers (that keep updating) and many more. The solution was written in 35819 lines of Javascript code. And the project shows they pulled it off, as you can judge yourself <a href="http://www.b-reel.com/projects/honda-the-experiment/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
They also shared a pretty cool 3-d interactive ‘eels’ game they made, where users can control an eel with their mobile moving around on a 3D structure. Highlighting again that in-house R&amp;D is important to create new things, and is possible when everyone works in-house.</p>
<h2>Unit 9 &#8211; Tom Sacchi</h2>
<p>Since 1996 <a href="http://www.unit9.com" target="_blank">Unit 9</a> is representing 14 interactive directors to make highly interactive online experiences together with their 70 person staff. The presentation gave a birds-eye view of some great interactive projects they delivered.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-460" title="02" src="http://www.quince.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/02.jpg" alt="" width="557" height="279" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.unit9.com/house-reel/" target="_blank">Here’s the interactivity they produced</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Drive against your Facebook friends in satellite view (you can drive on the actual Google Maps roads with your Mini!)</li>
<li>Choose which movie you want to see with a slider (because it’s up to you to choose your flavor: of film &amp; of Mentos gum)</li>
<li>An interactive tool to calculate how many slaves work for you (so you can tell your favorite brands to stop using slavery in creation of their products)</li>
<li>Walk in a live Google streetview and interact with the environment and people (to find a Mercedes)</li>
<li>Play dodgeball online against top dodgeballers LIVE! (Did you know the latency was not in the internet connection, but in the people picking up the balls to put back in the actual ball-shooting-machines you control via the website.)</li>
<li>Play an interactive manga of Morimoto &#8212; creator of Akira and the Animatrix (interacting only via input through your webcam)</li>
<li>An iPhone racing game where you get a ‘boost’ when you are actually eating a carrot (Now US eats carrots like junk food)</li>
</ul>
<p>What’s the message? Use very simple interactions, just click and you get something. And if you keep it interesting &amp; fun, people will keep on clicking away.</p>
<p>In this spirit they now also make apps &amp; games with simple interaction. See: <a href="http://www.unit9.com/app/nano-panda/" target="_blank">Nano Panda</a> for iPhone, iPad and android.</p>
<h2>The Mill &#8211; Andy Orrick &amp; Tony Volpe</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.themill.com" target="_blank">The Mill</a> = Visual Effects in TV &amp; Films, illustrations from 1990 to 2011. Now with 850 people. The good part of the presentation was a wowing experience of visual experience bringing to life a world of animation, production, after effects that speaks to the imagination. Just look at their <a href="http://www.themill.com/showreels.aspx" target="_blank">showreel</a> and get blown away.<br />
During the presentation the guys on stage gave the insight. in why this company makes these creations: The Mill aims to create invisible effects, and they aim to entertain people with <a title="Start with the favicon" href="http://www.quince.nl/blog/interactive/start-with-the-favicon/" target="_blank">storytelling</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-461" title="03" src="http://www.quince.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/03.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="294" /></p>
<p>Since 16 months The Mill has a new digital team, to bring all this storytelling experience to the interactive world. For instance <a href="http://www.meerkovo.com" target="_blank">Meerkovo</a>, where a lot of technology to serve the whole meerkat world to a million Facebook users, combined with the storytelling. Or combining VFX with people dancing themselves on an Absolut Vodka bottle. Or my favorite, a competition of Red Gate for <a href="http://www.dbainspace.com" target="_blank">Database Administrators</a>, to win an actual trip to space through an interactive 14-episode sci-fi. Oh, by the way, they also made their own life-size multi-touch device, just like us :).</p>
<h2>AKQA &#8211; Nick Bailey</h2>
<p>Nick presented the <a href="http://www.heineken.nl/e-reports/report/471?gclid=CPTzl_PS8qwCFdEj3god822--g)" target="_blank">Heineken Star Player</a>, an app for Heineken to make the UEFA Champions League more interesting.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-462" title="04" src="http://www.quince.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/04.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="197" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.akqa.com" target="_blank">AKQA</a> explains that they break-down the question of their client, starting with facts, integrating technology and coming up with the perfect solution for the target audience. With the Heineken Start Player, you play and earn points to predict how match moments will play out live during each Champions League match. You play against your Facebook friends.</p>
<p>And their happy to share their learnings:</p>
<ul>
<li>Football matches include a surprising amount of nothing</li>
<li>“Live” doesn’t necessary means live: latency can be 3 to 20 seconds! (AKQA researched this)</li>
<li>Canadians don’t understand football</li>
</ul>
<p>In the process they coined the terms ‘dual screening’: a person watching TV on one screen and interacting socially on another.</p>
<h2>Round up</h2>
<p>For me, it was the last Adobe User Group meeting to be part of the way I was now. All the speakers were amazing. Don&#8217;t miss the next Adobe User Group meeting. Keep a watch out on: <a href="http://www.adobeusergroup.nl" target="_blank">www.adobeusergroup.nl</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.quince.nl/blog/uncategorized/schiet-mij-maar-lek/attachment/waterlek-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-443"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-443" title="waterlek" src="http://www.quince.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/waterlek1.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /></a>Een ervaren HR adviseuse vertelde mij vorige week een interessant verhaal over haar freelance werkzaamheden bij een grote Nederlandse onderneming. Naast alle administratieve rompslomp waar een gemiddelde manager zich niet in wil verdiepen, was ze veel tijd kwijt aan<span id="more-441"></span> contact maken met mensen. Verbinding maken. En dan juist met die mensen die de verbinding met de onderneming kwijt zijn. Nieuwsgierig als ik ben, vroeg ik haar hoe deze mensen hun verbinding zijn kwijtgeraakt, als deze er al was en wat de rol van de manager hierin was.</p>
<p>Geen moment had ik twijfel dat zij deze verbinding met mensen kon leggen en al haar talenten zou gebruiken om de manager te ondersteunen om het team of teamlid op de rit te houden. Ze sprak warm en ontwapenend en ze gaf me het gevoel er te mogen zijn. Toch bleef ik nieuwsgierig naar wat de manager naliet waar zij voor ingehuurd moest worden. Waarom leerde ze de manager niet om even innemend te zijn? Dan is het probleem toch opgelost en hoeft zij niet ingehuurd te worden om keer op keer brandjes te blussen?</p>
<p>Het bleek helaas niet zo simpel. “Want er zijn nu eenmaal veel mensen met een energielek.” “Een WAT?”, vroeg ik verbaasd. “Een energielek?” Ik heb in het verleden lekkende kranen gehad, een lekkend dak in de keuken waardoor ik midden in de nacht tijdens een heftige storm met stromende regen de bladeren uit de verstopte goot moest halen en toen ik nog voetbalde had ik wel eens een lekke bal. Maar een energielek? Nooit van gehoord. Ook nooit gehad. Ik vroeg me af waar het dan lekte bij die mensen, maar die vraag was nog nooit gesteld dus daarop moest ze mij het antwoord schuldig blijven.</p>
<p>Wel legde ze uit dat mensen met een energielek ervaren dat er storende factoren (met name op de werkvloer) zijn waardoor ze de energie verliezen om hun werk te kunnen doen. En als je eenmaal iets verloren bent, is het lastig om het weer terug te vinden. Daar is namelijk geen afdeling ‘gevonden voorwerpen’ voor. Meestal zijn de veroorzakers de managers, maar soms ook werkdruk of bepaalde taken. En dan ineens als donderslag bij een heldere hemel begint de energie te lekken. Onzichtbaar, maar waar.</p>
<p>Maar hoe kan het dan dat sommige mensen wel last van die storende factoren hebben en anderen niet? Kan het aan de BETEKENIS liggen die deze specifieke mensen aan die factoren geven? Moeten we misschien bij onszelf te raden gaan hoe wij intern omgaan met de situaties en mensen of werkzaamheden? Als je vroeger moeilijkheden had met iets waar niemand moeite mee had, zat er een steekje bij je los. Gaat dat in de toekomst heten dat je lek bent? Krijgen we straks in plaats van coachen en HR medewerkers een ‘stoppen’-medewerker en ‘ontstoppers’? Waar gaan we heen met deze wereld? Schiet mij maar lek.</p>

<p>We are often thinking what kind of solution we can offer to our customers. Of course it should fit the concept and make sure the communication message is send to the audience. But what means would fit the best? Why settle for just one solution&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-414"></span>Schweppes goes all out! First it makes the audience curious with a small peep hole, multi touch tables, outdoor LED screens, building projection, augmented reality, holographic content, RFID tags and social media.</p>
<p>This would be the ultimate dream project! Wonder what kind of budget they have spent for this awesome experience</p>

<p>As we at Quince know: touch devices are here to stay. Which means we need to keep looking at how designing and programming for (multi)touch devices works. The Adobe User Group meeting &#8216;Touch Me&#8217; touched on this subject last week with a list of interesting speakers. My view is that touch is not something &#8216;new&#8217;, it&#8217;s technology finally catching up to how users want to use tools: directly, not indirectly through a mouse for instance. That&#8217;s why kids understand it intuitively. Let&#8217;s see how other people experience touch:</p>

<p>Martin Tirion of Microsoft started and explained the Microsoft vision of touch, including Windows 8 and the new surface table, which not only is multi-touch but can also scan objects placed on the table: every pixel is also a camera so to speak.</p>
<p>Next, the whole crowd was involved in a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUe4Y8Sj8oI" target="_blank">social play experiment</a> of Daniel van Gils of KamerBlauwLicht.</p>
<p><object width="433" height="244"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dUe4Y8Sj8oI?version=3&#038;feature=oembed"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dUe4Y8Sj8oI?version=3&#038;feature=oembed" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="433" height="244" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Everyone needed to work together to win a cake. Daniel explained his vision that games can be used to create social interaction, and touch devices need to be used to engage together: play at the same time.</p>
<p>After the break Jankees van Woezik and Dirk Schluter of FONK showed how to bring a classic table-top game to life. Together with Royal Jumbo they created iPawn, a real pawn to play with on your tablet. According to the short survey amongst the audience a sure to be holiday season hit.</p>
<p>Jack Zwanenburg of Edenspiekerman started with an overview of touch through-the-years and ended with SoundPrism, a great music app they developed. His view: take in mind what the user is already able to do and make your interface around that, instead of porting an interface literally to a touch device.</p>
<p>Remon Tijssen of the Adobe XD did the closing session. He stressed that the fluid user experience of an interface is the most important thing in using an app on a touch device. He showed some of the latest Adobe apps for touch devices that underline this vision.</p>
<p>After all that inspiration we can&#8217;t wait to start designing and developing more &#038; more (multi-)touch applications that make a difference in-stores and during events. Touch is here to stay!</p>

Putting some Chelsea Football Team as players always looks nice on your video.</p>
<p><span id="more-390"></span></p>
<p>3D projection mapping displayed the aliens on a wall and the players had to kick footballs at them as they moved downwards like real aliens do of course. If a player hit their target with a football, the alien will disappear and points are gathered. Have a look at the video below, not only it is a nice game, also the video is pretty nice marketing material.</p>

<p><span id="more-383"></span>Don&#8217;t show any information, just replace the info with a real life person and add some video conferencing. Like a help desk, but interactive. Just watch the introduction:</p>

<p>Coca-Cola tried something new at the Coca-Cola Summer Love 2011 event. A facial-recognition interactive display</p>
<p><span id="more-377"></span>FaceLook is a real-life posting application that is based on facial-recognition (Face.com)</p>
<p>The participants can post  comments and  pictures to their own Facebook page. How? just by looking at the  screen. The kiosk recognized their faces and uploaded everything to their pages  using only their faces as  identification.</p>
<p>Watch the video below to see the FaceLook kiosks in action:</p>
