Sensus Shows Value of Network Infrastructure with Interactive Storytelling Visualization

Imagine how difficult it would be for your global sales team and trade show booth staff to demonstrate the value of a network infrastructure that nobody could see. That was the challenge Sensus faced, as they transported heavy products (weighing nearly 700lbs) to trade shows that added little or no value. Using real-word scenarios and 3D product tours, we worked with Sensus to immerse their prospects into a global overview of their complex network infrastructure, visually showing the full story of how a communications network utility works. Sensus’ sales and marketing teams now have an extremely powerful customer application that can show an intelligent endpoint on a house, in the ground or on a building and detail visually how data…

Waters Demonstrates and Sells without the Physical Product

Waters was looking to launch their newest ACQUITY QDA product at a trade show. But there was just one small problem; the product wasn’t ready. We generated an interactive 3D product (that looked and behaved just like the actual product would have) and demonstrated it on large touch screens. After the launch, Waters saw the immediate benefit of not bringing physical products to tradeshows and have since created 20+ 3D product models. They have saved hundreds of thousands in shipping costs and can now show numerous products and configurations that were previously not possible. 3D products once only available to their sales teams via a secure login, have recently gone live on their website, increasing their weekly user analytics by…

S&C Electric Deploys Interactive Storytelling to Communicate Complex Value and Bring Solutions to Life

One of today's top electrical industry challenges is the increased frequency of unscheduled outages caused by an aging infrastructure and weather that has become more extreme. Self-healing grids are essential for improving reliability and ensuring grid stability and S&C was challenged with a way to communicate the value of their complex solution. Kaon worked with S&C to develop a 3D interactive story that showed how their IntelliTeam® SG Automatic Restoration System can rapidly identify the location of a distribution fault, isolate it, and restore power to unaffected areas by rerouting the flow of electricity, thus restoring power to as many customers as possible and limiting the impact of the fault. These scenarios were recorded by actual smart switches, with their…

Kaon Driving Use of Virtual Reality for Enterprise Sales and Marketing

As one customer recently noted, so many B2B companies are using virtual reality for the technology, for the ‘wow,’ to draw potential customers. Yet, those customers walk away remembering the fun they had playing a virtual reality game in a trade show booth and nothing about the company, brand, or products. Virtual reality becomes a powerful and effective sales and marketing vehicle when the experience communicates brand and product messages to potential customers — who then come away with brand education and memorable engagement. VentureBeat, a leading source of technology news for executives, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts, just published an article by Kaon Interactive President and CEO Gavin Finn on how and why virtual reality is poised for big enterprise sales.
