TESTIMONIALS
Westfield / Scentre Group
“We asked Sydney Interactive for advice on how Augmented Reality (AR) could be applied effectively within Shopping Centres to drive traffic and lift the experiences of our customers. Tom not only provided a brilliant overview and strategy about how AR could be used in a retail environment, but he created a bespoke and highly innovative AR proposal that responded directly to our brief. We were extremely impressed with the broad thinking and service over and above what was requested. We are hoping to engage with Sydney Interactive again on future developments.”

Joanne Jacobs
Chief Operating Officer
“We've worked on multiple projects with Sydney Interactive, and our most recent project was with our client, Setanta Sports Australia, for the development of a Facebook app that was associated with a current tournament aired on the sports programming channel. The app was built precisely in accordance with our specifications and generated excellent reports on visits and interaction. We were thrilled with the response and would be happy to engage Sydney Interactive again on future projects.”

THIS VR APP COULD SAVE LIVES
'Ride Alive VR' is a motorcycle safety training game for iPhone and Google Cardboard.
Target fixation is the deadliest reflex a motorcycle rider can have. When a hazard suddenly appears, riders instinctively look at it which causes their bike to steer towards it and crash. By locking steering to head movement, 'Ride Alive VR' trains riders to look away from a hazard and steer towards a safe route.
Read more about how 'Ride Alive VR' teaches riders how to deal with target fixation.
Download 'Ride Alive VR' for iPhone and Google Cardboard. Android version coming soon.

DEMYSTIFYING DIGITAL

As digital platforms grow in complexity, so too do the the challenges of implementing them.
We provide consultancy, workshops and training that demystify technical complexities and build clear roadmaps towards success.
THE WILD BUNCH
A 7-day collectible partnership between Taronga Zoo, the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph as part of their annual “Zoo Month”.
Mibo™ origami animals brought to life with our augmented reality technology in a mobile app for smartphones and tablets. 3D animated tiger, lion, elephant and friends jump to life and educate with shareable photo moments.
See The Wild Bunch in action.
HOPPY EASTER
Hoppy the Easter Bunny invaded fourteen Mirvac shopping centres nationwide in consecutive 2015 and 2016 campaigns. Shoppers could share their branded AR photo moments and selfies to Facebook instantly via our seasonal campaign app.

REDEFINING CONFERENCE EXHIBITION
The annual Bunnings expo is an opportunity for all brands to come together under one roof to showcase their products. As one of the leading brands at the event, VICTA approached us to develop an Augmented Reality experience that would enhance and distinguish their exhibition.
Our tablet-based solution added a whole new level of interactivity to their mowers, blowers and trimmers. Watch the interactive AR catalogue in action.
CHILDREN'S VOICES
The Advocate for Children and Young People is an independent statutory office reporting to the NSW Parliament and is supported by the Department of Family and Community Services.
We created an augmented reality app that places speech bubbles with children’s quotes above the heads of event attendees.
CYBERSECURITY EDUCATION
Established in Sydney in 1817, Westpac is one of Australia’s largest banks. In an era of increasing cyber-crime, educating staff on how to protect valuable information is one of the key defences in the banking world.
We built a tablet-based game that simulated the most common cybersecurity scenarios. Players learned the consequences of their actions in a controlled environment and how to better protect sensitive information from hackers.
THE RETAIL EXPERIENCE
Westfield is one of the world’s largest shopping centre owners and a market leader in Australia, NZ, USA and UK. In the ever-changing world of retail management Westfield were looking for new ways to drive traffic, activate spaces and build communities within their centres.
We conducted a seminar on the future of shopper engagement and presented strategies and case studies on how augmented reality and gamification can support the retail experience.
FUTURE OF INSURANCE
Innovative thinking is key to maintaining a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving housing insurance market.
We delivered an augmented reality activation to support Suncorp's annual future planning workshop. A collection 3D animated experiences served as triggers for discussion and inspired creative thinking.
BEAUTY MARKETING
As a 'house of brands' Clarins are responsible for the tailored marketing communications of the world's most prestigious beauty and fragrance products.
We delivered a series of workshops to their marketing staff to educate on digital strategy, social media planning, online content development and website administration.
CULTURE & SHOPPING
Located in the heart of Sydney’s Chinatown, Market City is a nexus of Asian culture and fashion shopping catering to travellers and city-dwellers alike. Their busiest periods Christmas and Chinese New Years presented the opportunity to entertain the crowds of holiday shoppers with new technology.
We built an augmented reality game that capitalised on the centre’s vast open spaces with mascot characters interacting with both shoppers and scenery. The game provided Market City new avenues to create sharable moments and connect with shoppers.
Catch the Presents Game
Santa jumps into a pool full of presents and to enter the prize-draw players have to tap the presents that fly out before they land.
Firecracker Horse Game
Hanging banners transform into giant lanterns and players have to catch the firecracker horse as it jumps out to enter the prize-draw.
Photo Booth
Selfie moments activate by scanning posters located throughout the centre.
INSIDE SMART BEDS
For over 100 years A.H. Beard has been Australia's leading manufacturer of quality mattresses and bedding, sold at all Harvey Norman and Domayne stores nationwide and distributed internationally.
As part of the launch of their SleepSense™ smart bed, we developed a tablet based augmented reality app that visualised and animated the hidden inner workings of their futuristic product.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
We teamed up with the marketing gurus at 1000 Heads to create a Facebook game for BBC TV show CBeebies.
