Our Interactive Services range from the development of a CD-ROM catalogue to a "one-off" Shockwave or Flash application specifically designed for use on the web.

ONLINE RICH MEDIA Web based "rich" multimedia, incorporating animation and sound, is becoming increasingly practical and is proving to be more effective than static web promotions. Users that interact with a message are far more likely to retain the information presented. Armantus has produced everything from simple html banners to more sophisticated Flash microsites such this Amdocs Presentation Module, or this Solect Technology Interactive Greeting Card. This small Puzzle illustrates some of the possibilities of "online" interactivity. It requires the Shockwave plugin from Macromedia. Shockwave is freely available from Macromedia:

CD-ROM MULTIMEDIA Armantus provides complete CD-ROM development services, from concept creation through graphical user interface design, to programming and testing. For example, we have produced an entire series of CD's for Scholastic Canada for use within the education system.

STREAMING MEDIA A sample of "streaming" audio and video content can be viewed here if you have RealPlayer. It is available in both 28.8k and 56k versions. Click here to view example of the same footage embeded within a web page. Download Realplayer & Plugin if you browser requires it. The footage used in this streaming media sample is a 30 second public service announcement produced for the Canadian Standards Association.

QTVR QuickTime VR (Virtual Reality) is a technology that enables 360° views of objects or environments. Interaction can take the form of panning, zooming, tilting and rotation. Nodes can also be linked together so that multiple views can be contained within a single movie. Download QTVR Plugin from Apple if you don't have it. If you already have the required plugin (freely available from Apple), take a look at this sample QTVR taken at BCE Place in Toronto, and consider the possibilities for corporate and product profiles. To arrange for a full demonstration of how Armantus can help you with your rich media or CD-ROM requirements, just fill out the form found in the Contact section or email Andrew Keyes directly.
