arTag is a new electronic tagging portfolio management platform for artists, collectors (of anything) and archivists.

The internet of things comes to art and collectibles. arTag makes electronic tagging available to anyone.

arTag is a label that you attach to an artwork or object and using the arTag platform you can update and access all the information from anywhere.

If you own something tag it and you will always be able to find out about it, from anywhere.

The app generates a professional but concise tree failure risk assessment report with photos, GPS location and the results of the unique 'VALID' risk assessment procedure included. Skilled tree specialists are trained in the 'VALID' procedure via seminars hosted around the world. The procedure encourages the specialist to consider the key factors regarding risk and consequential failure in isolation from one another.

The next phase of the project will see the assessments being persisted on a Google Firebase back-end together with file sharing integrations with Dropbox and Google Drive.

PoutyLipzz is a product that plumps lips when applied over a period of 30 days enabling their volume to increase by up to 40%.

The app enables the user to take selfies, applies some cleverness to recognise the position of the lips before increasing the size of the lips on screen to mimic the action of the PoutyLipzz plumper.

We've added sharing via social media to allow the user to show off their pouty lips to friends are so spread the word!

Links to the web store are also provided to enable the user to buy the product easily.

Our goal for the “SO Mapps” was to replicate the appealing aesthetic and quirky nature of the client’s paper maps as well as providing additional revenue by broadening the reach of the maps, giving additional advertising opportunities for local businesses, and providing a digital sales channel for the maps themselves.

“Sussed Out”, based close to our office in Bath, produce and sell a range of paper maps in a variety of UK tourist destinations. Their success lies in the quirky, friendly and “collectible” nature of hand-drawn maps, and good relationships with local advertisers and distributors to maximise revenues. In the age of Google/Apple Maps, it’s impressive that these quirky paper versions have carved out a significant niche as collectible souvenirs.

They approached us as a reputable and local developer capable of creating their apps, but also flexible enough to help them develop their digital revenues into the future.

The Foc.us Take Charge stimulator and apps safely use electrical impulses via a suitable headset to stimulate the brain.

Maintaining equipment in a hostile offshore marine environment can expose maintenance workers to far more dangerous conditions than shore-based equivalents.

The Offshore Wind Management app was designed as part of a complete marine telemetry system for maintenance boats working on offshore wind farms.

Is a boat heaving, pitching or rolling too much to step off onto a fixed platform? When has rough weather caused an unhealthy level of stress on the crew? How can you gauge whether a boat is exerting an unsafe level of stress when pushing up against wind turbines for crew to disembark? These are issues a boat’s captain constantly has to judge in challenging conditions.

We worked with Dyena, who design and manufacture electronic recording equipment for impact exposure monitoring, human factors research and vessel development, to create a prototype system for one of the world’s leading offshore maintenance providers to the marine energy sector.

A user-friendly and bomb-proof tablet app designed for browsing videos at the BBC’s ‘Prehistoric Autopsy’ travelling exhibition.

Loaded with a full catalogue of video clips, the pre-configurable app powered several tablets so that each could display a pre-selected sub-set of those videos relating to a different section of the exhibition.

Working with a well established exhibition designer, we developed this bespoke video player app to a very tight deadline for the BBC’s travelling exhibition.

Currently being used in two five-star London hotels (and planned to roll out to more), the app is designed to control all the electronic equipment in a hotel room (lights, air conditioning, TV, clock/alarm) via wi-fi from a single tablet.

The system makes it easy for guests to control their environment at the touch of a button. It also allows the hotel to control each room separately over IP if needed and to effectively communicate with guests by directly sending information, arranging bookings, receiving feedback etc.

The app and admin website were built for a start-up business created by an ex-Samsung executive.

We created a user-friendly Android app for FOODit restaurants to manage fulfilment of their orders. The app displays the status of each order placed through the FOODit online ordering system. Restaurants update order status as they work, to give real-time reporting and process control.

In busy kitchens, each order and customer receipt needs to be printed out to a USB or Bluetooth printer connected to the tablet so the app includes a standardised interface to print to many such devices.

A start-up offshoot from a major food wholesaler, FOODit describes its mission as “Building Super Simple Technology To Get Your Restaurant Online and Generating New Orders In 5 days”.
