3D animation/model Technology Sikorsky Aircraft Challenge: Sell multi-million-dollar, state-of-the-art aircraft. Solution: A branded, eye-catching interactive sales tool that excites and educates Sikorsky customers about the new S-92 helicopter. Sikorsky came to us virtually unbranded and unaware of the power and possibilities of interactive sales software. Their sales presentation assets were prolific but out-of-date, and they wanted to wow attendees at the air show. When it was decided that we would produce a thick-client implementation, we knew we could go deep with 3D animation and complex, intriguing design features. The design of the Sikorsky application is based on 3D look and feel and branding continuity. The navigation is modular and function based; users know where they are at all times. The interface incorporates with ease documents that Sikorsky's sales force was comfortable using.
