Visionradio has been selected to perform a number of contracts with NTT DoCoMo European headquarters based in London. These have focused around conducting specific research and subsequent preparation of purposed reports and videos for use within the European and Japan offices of the company.

Reports included detail on research methodology and marketing processes used in the analysis. The work was carried out through Visionradio partner WSA Associates.

The 1 minute low resolution sample clip below was taken from a presentation video scripted, filmed, edited and published by Visionradio. The full quality 3 minute version was used to explain a UK service to a Japanese audience.

The requirements from Panasonic have been varied, and have included the development of web pages and purposed custom graphics. These have been used in support of the delivery of web services projects as well as for an interactive CD to demonstrate a new software product. More here.

Panasonic's European Headquarters also used some Visionradio content in pursuit of some digital radio DAB tests it was looking to perform over one of the London multiplexes. The first chapter of a cartoon book was created into an audio-visual slide show, used by the business development team within Matsushita Electric Europe (HQ) Ltd. This subsequently was used in full with ntl, outlined below.

In late 2003 Visionradio was engaged in a business development capacity for Panasonic Business Systems. The brief: to explore market potential for new products from Japan which did not have a ready home within the existing product divisions in the UK sales company. This culminated in securing a new business relationship for Panasonic supplying IP (Internet Protocol) products to BT.

Furthermore the Visionradio team extended into investigating product and service bundles with the BT team, incorporating both the Panasonic IP cameras and various BT products.

FlickerTV is an out-of-home digital signage service conceived by IMT, incorporating rich graphic advertisements and scrolling text messages alongside live TV or streamed video feeds. Targeting retail premises such as pubs, bars and shopping centres, flickerTV allows retail sites in many instances to reduce costs and indeed make revenues from running relevant promotional messages on their TV and projector screens.

Initially the service was delivered manually using USB drives. In 2009 Visionradio developed the main online system which deals with management and tracking of the advertisments by authorised users, as well as customising the displays for output to TV.

In December 2001 Visionradio, in partnership with the 8 Corporation, embarked on a new style distribution initiative to the UK market for the Valusoft drag racing titles NHRA2 and subsequently NHRA Main Event.

A direct campaign in association with the main drag racing sites was launched at very low cost, and a custom tracking system employed for responses and orders from each site. All initial stocks of the launch title were sold. The elegant simplicity of the campaign was proving successful, but was very short lived, ceasing when Valusoft were bought out and restructured as a division of THQ.

In 2009 Skills For Health needed to radically update a system for measuring and scoring job roles from an increasingly unwieldy spreadsheet system to an engaging, online experience.

Visionradio worked alongside Rivenhall Consulting to design and create a visualisation of the form, in keeping with the Skills For Health brand. The result was extremely positively received and enabled an effective briefing session for the in-house development team.

Autumn 2009 saw the kick-off of a mobile learning project, funded by the Learning & Skills Council and managed on their behalf by the London-based Learning and Skills Network. The aim - to develop an online editing tool to create mobile learning activities, and in particular targeting take-up by non-technical teaching staff.

Following a market investigation which failed to turn up an ideal, pre-existing solution, the LSN decided that the best way forward was to engage with a development team who could work with their in-house people to design and create a system truly fit for purpose.

Visionradio took the lead on creating the original design, and, through use of the active visualisation techniques, we were able to help the LSN provide the software developers a well-rounded and complete project requirements specification.

The Third Age Trust is the national representative body for the Universities of Third Age, a fast-growing collective of self-managed learning groups for older people no longer in full time work. A significant concern is that their members are at a stage in life where increasing mobility problems, together with an underlying tendancy of being wary of technology, could lead to increasing social isolation.

Visionradio worked with Rivenhall Consulting in 2010 to develop the idea of a TV-centric programme styled around a magazine, intended to provide ease of access to stimulating content, including presentations from across the national U3A network. The delivery of the content, as well as online, was aimed largely to be via USB key, and viewable via TV on a low-cost set-top box.

Community cohesion and liaison was promoted through the idea of using friends and facilitators from within the regional U3As to act as the distribution route, encouraging face to face contact with less mobile members.

In 2005 Visionradio worked in collaboration with De Montfort University on an innovations project to explore mechanisms for increasing the East Midlands Creative Industries use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology).

The project successfully delivered a technology platform demonstrating how Creatives could easily maintain their online content without the need for knowledge or access to specific web software, and how the content could be presented from the same source on both internet PCs and Internet TVs.

The project managed to engage with sufficient businesses to achieve over 350% against the initial target. The project website can be viewed here.

Summer 2007 saw the launch of the Nationwide energy saving experiment Smart Meter projects - a £20 million DBERR co-sponsored programme managed by Ofgem. Designed to learn how better provision of energy usage information using different interventions might bring about consumer behaviour change, Visionradio's role encompassed development of solutions to interface to the television.

In addition Visionradio worked with partner company Insite Communications to develop the central project database to support the whole EDF trial base.

Following on from the initial work with Panasonic on DAB content as outlined above, early in 2004 Visionradio started work in collaboration with ntl to complete the cartoon book as an entire audio and video slideshow. The Visionradio cartoon content piece was used for testing over a digital radio multiplex.

A low resolution sample of the programme may be viewed below:

In 2003 Visionradio became a Telemetry Associate, working with core members particularly on a UK government part sponsored programme via the DTI known as The Application Home Initiative (TAHI). This cross-industry and education body has its founding purpose "to accelerate the adoption of networked applications and services by connected home-based users". To this end it has spawned a number of trials to test and develop various hypotheses which may prove commercially attractive to both consumers and service providers.

The Inaring site was a collaborative project led by a specialist disc media duplication company. The purpose, in late 1999 and into 2000 was to develop a concept music custom CD and download site, purposed to develop an offering which used the best from the worlds of CD and download music distribution. Visionradio was engaged to help develop the concept and build the prototype demonstration web site. More here.
