swiftcover.com Launches Interactive Driving Game at Westfield with Screenreach Interactive

0

swiftcover.com has teamed up with Screenreach Interactive and Ocean Outdoor to launch a groundbreaking interactive digital campaign featuring a motion-controlled multiplayer driving game. The campaign debuts on Ocean Outdoor’s Eat Street site at Westfield London on October 12 and was organized through Spark.

The interactive game, powered by Screenreach’s Screach app, allows drivers to compete against each other in real-time. By downloading the Screach app and entering code ’60’, participants can transform their smart devices into controllers for the on-screen content. The game, named the 60 Second Challenge, mimics America’s Route 66, with players collecting swiftcover.com tokens along the way.

Paul Rawlings, CEO of Screenreach Interactive, expressed his enthusiasm: “swiftcover.com is using Screach to deliver something truly innovative to its consumers. By converging these two media platforms and utilizing our motion control and multiplayer functionality, they are capturing the imagination of consumers.”

Amanda Edwards, swiftcover.com Senior Marketing Manager, highlighted the campaign’s innovative approach: “This campaign allows us to interact nicely with our target audience in a very different environment and using a game format that aligns perfectly with our Get a Life campaign.”

Tim Bleakley, CEO of Ocean Outdoor, added: “This imaginative and highly relevant outdoor campaign demonstrates the potential of digital out-of-home advertising to harness cutting-edge technologies and creative content.”

Participants can enhance their experience by connecting through Facebook, enabling their profile images to be featured on the large format Eat Street screen and share their activity on their profiles. This feature also provides swiftcover.com with valuable insights into consumer interactions with the brand.

Gefen’s New KVM ELR Extender Delivers HDMI with USB, IR and Ethernet over CAT-5 Cable

Digital connectivity solutions provider Gefen makes it easy to connect laptops, PC media centers or any device using HDMI to a flat panel display or projector, especially when connecting long distances. The new Gefen Toolbox KVM ELR (Extra Long Range) Extender for HDMI sends 1080p full HD video with USB peripherals, Ethernet connectivity and IR control using two CAT-5 cables.

“The emphasis here is that you can extend hi-def video with your peripherals from a central location to wherever you wish to control them,” said Hagai Gefen, president and CEO, Gefen.

Complete KVM functionality allows you to operate your laptop, computer or video source from up to 330 feet (100m) away, freeing users to access computers and laptops from another room. Small, wall mountable sender and receiver units connect the computer or laptop to the remote display and keyboard/mouse. Both are available in a flat black or crème finish. Two USB ports on the receiver connect keyboard/mouse, printer, camera or any device using USB 2.0 connectivity.

Gefen’s ELR technology is based on HDBaseT specifications, allowing the delivery of high definition video with IR and Ethernet over the same industry-standard cable. A second cable is used to extend USB 2.0 signals from the source to the display at rates up to 480 Mbps.

The KVM ELR Extender for HDMI’s sender and receiver come with locking power supplies and EDID management to eliminate potential signal loss.
