Collaborative VR Experience that Generates Leads at Trade Show Innovated by Design Center

Design Center recently designed and developed a collaborative VR (virtual reality) project for a major institutional cleaning products company, designed to draw booth visitors and generate leads at an international event for the world's largest cleaning-related organizations.
This was the second VR project for this long-term client. This time, the goal was to attract attention and deliver quality leads.
"We were looking for an exciting way to drive traffic to our booth and create engagement; keep it low-key, interactive and still imprint our message," the client said. "The VR experience needed to educate players about our products in an engaging way and be more than just a fun game."
Design Center President Ken Haus said, "This was a challenge, but we don't shy away from challenges. We simply don't have a shortage of in-house skills. This makes Design Center nimble, and proactive."
Design Center had already been internally innovating and testing a collaborative VR experience that had the potential to revolutionize VR—essentially enabling the person with the headset to be aided by an assistant with a tablet. This project was Design Center's second collaborative project for a client.
By combining users in a virtual space with users on mobile devices, Design Center's collaborative VR innovation creates an integrated experience that is more inclusive than traditional VR. The connected approach allows for real-time collaboration through shared goals, complimentary skills and tandem exercises that are more engaging and more impactful.
"Not everyone is going to want to put on a headset," Haus said. "By creating a collaborative experience, we can get around that."
To fully leverage the VR project, Design Center created a leader board that not only kept track of scores, but allowed the client to gather leads at the event.
"People liked the competitive aspect," Haus said. "They would come back multiple times because it was a fun experience that people wanted to play. It created the pull the client was looking for. Players walked away with a better understanding of their products and, in some cases, becoming an excellent lead."
The end result was that, in addition to the crowds observing the action, over 300 people participated in the VR experience at the booth.
"This is a major tradeshow for us that we attend every year," the client said. "Because of the VR experience that Design Center created, this year we had good conversations, got a lot of hot leads and had a much better conversion rate than we had last year."
As with most of the products Design Center develops, the client will be able to reconfigure the platform for other projects—including mobile applications. "We will probably build off this project next year for the same event," the client said. "But in the meantime, we will also use it for our regional shows. There's just no question that there has been and will continue to be a big pay off from this project. I definitely would recommend Design Center and I already have."

Founded in 1969, leading software designer and developer Design Center turns strategic insights into reality through app development, virtual reality solutions, custom software and more. Rooted in design and energized by digital, Design Center creates engaging, long-term solutions that streamline business and spark conversation. The company's user-experience-focused approach to design, development and implementation produces solutions that deliver value and profitability for clients. Among the company's value adds is AppKits, a proprietary application management engine, that ensures the company's solutions perform at the highest level. Design Center serves some of the world's largest organizations from their headquarters in centrally located St. Paul, Minn.

SBIR Person of the Year, 2018 - Mr. Craig Owens of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics

The SBIR Person of the Year honors an individual who has made extraordinary efforts and contributions to promote and help grow America's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

How do you bring large prime defense contractors and small businesses together for the good of the war fighter? Just ask Craig Owens, SBIR Program Manager at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics.

In the complex environment of DoD SBIR, small businesses looking to win DoD SBIR awards often have to integrate their developments to work on weapons platforms that were designed by large DoD prime contractors. Owens brings clarity to the small businesses via friendly but frank discussions on how to approach, work, and partner with primes such as Lockheed. Read here.

Owens is a requested speaker/presenter at all major SBIR events, and also participates in outreach to underserved communities where his efforts range from train the trainers to outreach and guidance to talented but underserved small businesses such as woman owned, 8(a) minority owned, veteran owned and others.

The SBIR community knows they can always depend on Owens to help, and are grateful to Lockheed Martin for that support. Owens recently received the 2018 Champion of Small Business Technology Commercialization Award from the Small Business Technology Council (SBTC) in honor of his contributions to SBIR. Be alert to the latest news.

In recognition of his exemplary hard work, dedication and vision, Mr. Craig Owens of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is the SBIR Person of the Year for 2018. More information and pictures are available at https://sbir.tv/poy/18poy.htm

Vendome Guide to St Barths – Celebrating the Island’s Unique and Enduring Appeal

WIMCO Villas announced today the publication of the 18th edition of The Vendôme Guide to St Barthelemy. The 137-page glossy magazine draws on well-known photographers and illustrators, and explores St. Barths through the eyes of a first time traveler, showcasing the beaches and restaurants that have made the island famous, as well as the bountiful array of private villas for rent.

"This issue is particularly special, as we were about to go to print last year when Hurricane Irma hit St. Barths," said Heather Warburton, Creative Director. "The residents of St. Barths, as well as loyal travelers helped the island rebound in remarkable speed, and we wanted to reflect that in this year's magazine."

Within every issue, readers will find practical information such suggested activities, an island map, the best flight routes, and a note about WIMCO's concierge services, all written with a nod to the discerning traveler. Editor Ray Parish contributed heavily to the feature writing, while Quentin Warren provided copyrighting expertise. Both are well-acquainted with St. Barths and frequent partners. New to this issue, however, are collaborations between photographers and illustrators.

Jake Rosenberg, Creative Director from The Coveteur spent a week in St. Barths photographing two villas as well as island scenes with British model Penny Lane ("Life & Style", "Bon Temps"). Food writer and photographer Regan Baroni detailed the joys of cooking at home in "Dining Chez Vous", spending a week at Villa VUE in Colombier. Illustrator Ashley Begley provided whimsical island depictions and St. Barths motifs, while heralded Italian artist Emiliano Ponzi sketched the afterword of the magazine, a visual rumination on the difference a year makes.

"At WIMCO we tend to favor the softer side of luxury – that a stunning villa and thoughtful service offers a setting for memories and special moments with great friends and family. It was important to imbue that sense of delight, whimsy, and authentic snapshots of beauty throughout the magazine by way of these talented artists," Warburton adds.

In addition to a number of articles and pictorials, the magazine features over 60 pages of private villas for rent, and real estate listings. While WIMCO offers more than 370 villas on the island, varied in size, style and budget, the villa section aims to inspire guests to picture themselves at one of them through a collaged-style format.

After a quieter season in December 2017, St Barths will experience one of the busiest holiday seasons in recent years. Bolstered by a strong economy, guests are returning in droves for a number of reasons: the island's intimate size and sense of community, the depth of choice when it comes to dining, and a certain unencumbered sophistication that's akin to Europe in the summer. It's these remarkable qualities, too, that The Vendôme Guide aims to capture in this newest edition. Be alert to the latest news.

The Vendôme Guide will be mailed to WIMCO's clients and will also be placed in every villa in St. Barths to delight clients vacationing there over the holidays. To obtain a copy of the magazine or to request more information about its contents please contact: HWarburton(at)wimco.com
