Interesting site that combines blog posts and images to make composite images of text and photos. Some of the results are pretty cool, I particularly like the typographic montages.

Beautiful, stunning work! Not quite sure what it is for – but it is inspiring you to take better care of the environment. Just simply an amazing website. Built around a cut out concept where the stories of various characters are told, through a cut out look and feel executed in a 3d fashion. When you click on a character your view zooms to the pop up book of their story, the beauty of it is the panning and rotating of the camera around the book, there is a huge attention to detail – by rotating the view you can see more details and explore the scene. I love the concept and the look and feel of the whole site, it is truly inspiring – where technology and design meet in unison – the 3d element is smooth and perfectly executed, the visuals are great and fun.

Wow, another amazing Japanese website for Uniqlo – the presentation of opinions of 343 customers to a bra Uniqlo make! The work created for Uniqlo has been consistently amazing, always technically brilliant backed up with a nice concept. This is another example of that, instead of producing something simple & boring, something that is essentially about a survey, a fantastic 3d representation of opinions has been created. Floating through the opinions the way the data is presented is constantly flowing from one state to another, making new 3d shapes, and morphing colours. I really like the crisp presentation coupled with the smooth transitions and fast performance of the site. Technically proficient and well executed to present a really enjoyable user experience.
I have long been a fan of Japanese web design and its really good to see so many amazing sites appearing. The mix of music, technical excellence, and simple layouts provide the fun, colourful, and enjoyable approach that is often common place in Japanese designs. So often the more imaginative, conceptual side of web design is ignored for the slicker, polished look and feel, it is so refreshing to see a different viewpoint.

Interesting site for Russian clothing brand Term’it. The explorable interface has 3 main levels, where you can zoom in, rotate and pan around to see the clothing amongst other things. Technically it well accomplished, and works well – the rotation and zooming is smooth and feels good to use. Nice attention to detail and intelligent loading of sections means it all provides a good user experience. I like the thumbnails of the clothing and the playful way they are displayed.

Very interesting way of presenting news, Spectra ‘visual newsreader’ for msnbc. You selected the channels to view, which then appear in a rotating ‘cloud’ of news items. The news items can be explored, saved, or you can click through to the full story. Your 3D view of the items can be changed and even interacted with a connected webcam – which is fantastic – as it works on the premise of colour. Each channel of news is a different colour i.e. blue for entertainment, hold up something blue to the camera and blue items will appear. What I really like is the attention to detail and the host of options and customisation available, your choices are saved, you can search – etc. Its a really nice concept and its always great to see new ways of presenting data in an interesting way.
Another great Papervision site, this time promoting the Audi RS 6. Well, Papervision again used for great effect, this site shows how you can convert nice concepts into reality. The individual boxes react to the soundtrack and also act as a mask for a video. They also move along paths in 3d space to make up the interface, all very slick. Really like the attention to detail regarding the overall almost cinematic experience.

Wow, incredible site for Red Bull promoting the Flugtag – an international event where people create flying contraptions and run off a large ramp into a lake! This is the interactive equivalent. You can design your own plane, edit other peoples, or use templates – you can paint it, choose what material the parts are made of and so on. You then enter the flying arena where you take your design to the skies and perform tricks and try and get a high score.
The attention to detail is incredible, created by Less Rain, as they write in their blog: “Flight Lab gives you the real thing: It’s a 6DOF (degrees of freedom) flight simulator modeled by a physics engine in 3D using rigid body dynamics. Real airplane wings can be described by specific lift and drag coefficients, depending on how quickly and from which angle the air flows over a wing section. That’s what Flight Lab does.” Some great ‘making ofs’ can be found on their blog, part 1, part 2. Just a really amazing, ground breaking site, made in Papervision that really couples great design, usability and latest technology. I love the art direction and the concept has been well thought out and executed, really impressive!
Website of Whitevoid Art & Design, an agency that specialises in various interactive disciplines. A really clean, fluid 3d interface; very simple and enjoyable to use. I really like the concept – and feel its a really nice use of 3d – kept simple and to the point.
Website of a design & innovation consultancy. Slick 3D navigation interface, and lots of nice touches. In particular the way you navigate images and drill down into the various sections. Text appears in a unique way with lots of movement and nice attention to detail.

Site showcasing the new HD capabilities of the Flash Player, each trailer has a HD option, which launches the trailer in HD and full screen. Really great way of presenting the trailers in a nice visual way, nice touches and easy to use navigation. The transition between full screen and windowed is pretty cool. Great progress for the Flash Player.

Amazing site – powered by Papervision 3D – again!! Promoting the new Canon EOS 400D camera.
Really lovely style of interaction – you pan around and explore 3 different scenes each with interlocking pictures which move around in a 3D environment. This has got to be my favourite example of Papervision so far, the execution is really accomplished.

Japanese Sony Walkman promotional site, using Papervision 3D to provide an enjoyable visual and audio feast! Explore faces mapped to 3D objects that dance in time to music, see them displayed in landscapes and mapped to various different shapes. An extremely well executed and fun Flash site, its so great to see experiential sites like this, just good fun and promoting a positive image for the Sony Walkman.
Created by NON-GRID, and more specifically developed by Keita a very talented flasher.
