World Family English
World Family English, are an international innovative English Language Learning company. With schools and programmes across Asia, world family are also partnered with Disney in bringing English education to children. At World Family events and presentations, World Family wanted an interactive touch-screen application for children to explore and enjoy the World Family experience. The key aspect of the application was presenting World Family videos, explaining World Family to the viewer whilst keeping the children engaged. Another important part of the application was being able to record which videos were viewed and for how long, so World Family could understand what was important and popular for their audience. All this had to be stand alone and configurable, so videos could be switched and replaced depending on the situation.
The application consisted of four scenes with various animations and game like physics for a number of the interactive objects. Video and audio could also be configured on every designated object by World Family. Rain also included a single screen mode, and a multi-scene mode allowing the user to switch between scenes if World Family wanted them to.
Rain built the touch screen application using Flash's great interactive and video capabilities, wrapped by MDM's Zinc, allowing Flash to interact with the computer's operating system and run as a native application. This presented a great solution letting Flash save the monitoring information to the touch screen devices, which it normally cannot do.
