Our upmarket multimedia project for Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, demonstrating how to work with cloud data, was featured at the industrial “INNOPROM” Expo. The interactive zone was equipped with wall and floor-stand mirror screens and the mirrored ceiling was used as an extra display, adding to the immersive feeling. We designed the video content bearing in mind that it is going to be reflected in the mirror. The “Digital Thinking” interactive multimedia installation with AR technologies was in the central exhibition area as well. On the first day of the expo, Dmirti Kozak, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Denis Manturov, Russian Minister of Industry visited the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s booth. It was included on the President’s must-visit list.

We have created an interactive map for Skolkovo Technology park, which can be used to get information about the existing buildings and those, that are under construction. The map has a multi-user mode for up to 5 people at once. There is also an archive with aerial photographs of the building territory of the “Skolkovo” Innovative Centre during the past years.

Our company created a complex multimedia project for the “Mosinzhproekt” holding group at the Moscow Urban Forum: we designed and built an exclusive booth, created interactive multimedia installations with 3D-videos, and held a software launch. The booth had several interactive multimedia installations, one of which was a multimedia game. Forum visitors had a chance to try their hand at driving a metro train with a game console. In addition, there was an interactive online-map of the tunnels on the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line (the Big Belt line) of the Moscow metro. Mosinzproekt’s booth was included on Moscow’s Mayor Sergey S. Sobyanin’s must-visit list.

One of the most significant of Design Dossier’s projects was a multimedia booth for the Mayor’s office and Moscow City Government at the Moscow Urban Forum. The project called “My neighborhood” had integrated mechanisms and transformable layouts of the city to show development. The multimedia kinetic installation looked like a cube made up of three levels. When activated, the installation opened and demonstrated the development schemes. The exclusive booth was included on Moscow’s Mayor Sergey S. Sobyanin’s must-visit list.

Design Dossier’s specialists created four interactive models for the “Kurchatov Institute” National Research Center’s booth at the International Arctic Forum in Saint Petersburg. The interactive models showed the institute’s latest scientific developments, such as the ‘Arkhangelsk” industrial and logistics hub, a self-contained power plant, a submersible system, and a self-contained nuclear thermoelectric plant “ELENA-M”.
We created 3D videos and the software controlling the video content for the interactive multimedia presentations.

Actually, is there any prospect ahead for the frontal projection technology in the cinema? The mere fact that the panoramic projection is apparently back on track with the big cinema is sustained with the evidence that throughout the 2017-2018 period, several Russian film-makers employed projection panoramic setting to shoot their movies. Our team was instrumental in implementing such panoramic frontal projection for one of the projects – the film -thriller “Break”.

We designed an AR mobile app for the real estate investment company “RG-Development”. Customers can use this app to get information on the company’s projects and have a look at 3D-models of housing complexes using AR technologies. Clients can get a true-to-life image of these complexes from different angles and have a look at site planning and courtyards, using special guide marks and the 3D models.

Design Dossier’s specialists created a mobile app for the Finance Ministry of the Russian Federation. It gives information on the historical formation and development of Russia’s state financial and economic system from its inception to the present. With the help of this app, users get to know the history of financial development in our country and read rare Russian or foreign historical literature on finance. The App has got two sections – “Timeline” and “Library”.

Our company filmed the artistic video special for the opening of the “Tekhnograd” educational and recreational complex at VDNKh. The shoot time was very limited; we only had 3 days for preparations. Within that timeframe, we had to put together a film crew and all the necessary equipment, as well as make storyboards. Additionally, we had audition actors, find costumes and stage props, and design a 3D space for certain scenes as the complex was under construction at the time. Click here to watch the video

This is the second year in a row that we have created complex multimedia project for the Moscow Financial Forum, the Moscow City Government and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. We developed the conceptual architectural foundation, have implemented two of the construction projects from the multimedia exhibit booths, built software and created multimedia content.

At the Global Fishery Forum in Saint Petersburg in September, we presented our new multimedia project – the “12 centuries of fishing” 360-degree virtual tour.  At the Russian Federation Research Institute of Fishery and Oceanography’s (VNIRO) booth, forum visitors, wearing VR sets, could walk around the main rooms and displays of the future interactive exhibition about the development of fisheries from ancient times to the present day. Click here to see our 360-degree 3D rendering and read more about the project.

We created a CGI rendering of  the future SmartPark 4.0 multifunctional campus and research park, which will be located on the Beriev Aircraft Company’s seaplane base at Gelendzhik harbor. Exhibition visitors could see a 3D rendering on the screen or on the 360-degree video in a VR headset. VR tour

In September 2018 at the “Gidroaviasalon” international expo, our company started a large-scale innovative project testing a new “Industrial intelligence” engineering platform –  IntellektPro. The project was created and implemented especially for the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.

We present our recent comprehensive project for the Almaz-Antey Corporation prepared by our company for the display at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum: production of 3D videos, software development, technical support for the entire duration of the Forum, production and presentation of a Multimedia show.

It is not the first time for us to use the capabilities of robotic manipulators for the purpose of making a presentation. At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF)-2018, we presented a Robobar Robobar operated by an industrial robot. Not only did the courteous robotic barman put a glass with a drink on the counter in front of the guest, but he also blended the ingredients after the drink was selected on the touch-screen containing the menu. We devised the concept, developed the software and provided the technical support services for all days while the SPIEF-2018 was in progress.

Special for the “Gidroaviasalon 2018” international expo, we have developed a VR game called “The Drone Race”, which you can play at the “Robotics and drone aircrafts” exhibition area using a VR set. What are the game’s rules? In 3 minutes, you need to get the maximum score and outmaneuver others by flying a drone through the rings.

Being commissioned by Mosinzhproekt, we created video materials with a 3D architectural visualization and presented them at the Moscow Urban Forum in July 2018. Both videos contained an exterior and interior visualization technique.

On 30 March 2018, at the AMEDIA film studio, Design Dossier Technical Director Kirill Voskresensky delivers a report addressing the topic “Panoramic Projection as an Alternative to Chroma Key Technology and Shooting on Location”. His address is scheduled to coincide with the CPS (Cinema Production Service)-2018 – the 15^th International Exhibition of Equipment, Services and New Technologies for the Cinema and TV Production.  The difficulties that can come to the surface as part of the Chroma Key shooting process are known to all, however, today there is an absolutely adequate alternative to the green pavilion.

We were confronted with the task of getting across to the public the message behind the proposed goods and services in a most illustrative, simple and also exciting manner. What solutions are most adequate and profitable today? These are the formats associated with the Augmented and Virtual Reality Virtual Reality.

At the Innoprom-2018 in Yekaterinburg, we presented our new complex project – a multimedia exhibition stand for the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. The exhibition stand is totally unique not only in connection with its architectural solution, but also due to its interactive multimedia content.

For the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade we found an optimal solution how to present a model of the Russian industrial production in the foreseeable future. The solution was supposed to be simple in terms of being used by the visitors, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was supposed to capture the visitors interest, attention and evoke a positive emotional response. We developed a semi-gaming Virtual Tour around the plant of the future, which could be seen through the VR glasses.

What is the Smart City? It is a program initiated by the Moscow Government seeking to implement the electronic technologies and digitalize the state services offered to the Muscovites. This was the focus of the exhibition stand operated by the Moscow Government at the Moscow Urban Forum-2018.

Our exhibition project exemplifying a multifaceted implementation strategy for the Almaz-Antey Aerospace Defense Corporation was delivered at the SVIAZ-2081 Exhibition. Apart from developing an architectural-and-spatial solution, we executed a  full range of construction works for the exhibition stand, developed an interactive multimedia software and produced 3D video with the screens of non-standard dimensions.

The project is not yet in place, but there is a need to outline and showcase its advantages in a highly attractive, artistic manner, isn’t it? The 3D architectural visualization is intended specifically for this purpose: after making a model of each detail, it recreates the image of any development projects both inside and outside. The 3D photorealistic rendering is a powerful instrument for promoting the projects planned for implementation by development companies, real estate brokers, project owners, design offices, as the 3D visualization project is both illustrative and clearly perceivable, which makes it much easier to attract prospective investors.

helyabinsk in 2020 – the project was introduced in November 2017 on the forum Russia-Kazakhstan held in Chelyabinsk where we presented an interactive model of prospective development called Chelyabinsk 2020 that was worked out by the experts of the company Design Dossier, as well as 5 motion design videos. The list of the executed work is the following: development and realization of the general design concept, video start mechanism, information management, development of an interactive multimedia content. Our motion designers created five motion design videos: one general 3D panoramic fly-by video around Chelyabinsk city center and four subject-related motion design videos with info-graphics including panoramic fly-by videos with building sites in project.

With resort to computer technologies and professional services of our team, it is possible to create projects with photorealistic detailing, to simulate the fabric, texture, volume of surfaces and materials etc. When a video involving the interior visualization is made, video images are created with a high degree of detailing. In order to add vitality to the interior, we make use of diverse touches: for visualization purposes, the emphasis is put on the aspects of the ambiance: children’s toys scattered on the floor, flowers in the vase, curtains trembling in the breeze, a cup with steaming coffee. The high degree of detailing and the artistic tinge present in the small aspects allow to create the atmosphere, the emotional attitude, the image of the would-be premises.
