Seattle's Snowpocalypse

For the past week or so Seattle has been battling some fun weather conditions. It all started last Saturday when we saw the first couple inches. The foothills of Seattle (where most of the Seattle ‘stoners live) have received over 30 inches of snow in the past 5 days, which is more than two total winters worth for us. Only a few brave souls made it into the office as most of us were snowed in. Wednesday night began a new chapter of the storm as an Ice Storm rolled in. From the Ice Storm some of us have gotten internet outages and power outages because of the falling trees that can’t take the weight of the ice. There are currently 260,000 people without power (and a few ‘stoners) but most people won’t see their power on until next week which could be a week without power for some. Puget Sound Energy, our energy company, even pulled in people from Oregon and Idaho to help get power back on. On the bright side we all made it into the office today to pick up our plane tickets so we can head off to warmer weather in Vegas to visit you all! :)

[wire] stone Kicks-Off Second Annual Care2Share Holiday Drive

BOISE, Idaho, November 30, 2011 – [wire] stone, an integrated digital marketing agency, today announced the launch of its second annual Care2Share holiday drive to help local families in need this holiday season. Care2Share uses social media to crowdsource donations in an effort to make the holidays brighter for Boise community members living in poverty. This year, the program is doubling its efforts and adopting 20 families in the Boise area.
“Recognizing the influence of social media in mobilizing communities toward action, we developed Care2Share to put this powerful technology to work for the greater good,” said Tony Schlangen, chief operations officer at [wire] stone. “The support has been tremendous, so we expanded the program in hopes of making an even greater impact on the Boise community. In the future, we plan to broaden Care2Share nationally and go beyond seasonal giving.”
Founded in 2010, by Schlangen and Brie Bolopue from [wire] stone’s Boise office, Care2Share partners with local non-profit organizations to meet community needs through social media-driven crowdsourcing campaigns. Last year, the program adopted 10 families for Christmas to collect items such as coats, shoes, clothes and food. Using Twitter and Facebook, [wire] stone was able to galvanize enough support to not only provide these items, but also toys, books and other extras to help improve the quality of living for these families.
In addition, Care2Share organized a Wrap Party where the donated goods were assembled and gift wrapped for giving—in 2010, about 40 people showed for this event. This year’s Wrap Party will be held at The Linen Building on Dec. 13 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. with live music and [wire] stone expects several hundred social media friends to attend to help wrap nearly 800 presents.
The Care2Share program can be accessed via Twitter (@Care2ShareBoise), Facebook or blog (care2share.posterous.com).

[wire] stone to Speak at Seattle Interactive Conference

SAN FRANCISCO – [wire] stone, an integrated digital marketing agency, today announced that David Kelley, principal user experience architect at [wire] stone, will be speaking at the first annual Seattle Interactive Conference (SIC), a two-day event celebrating the convergence of online technology, creativity and emerging trends. Kelley’s talk, titled, “The Metro Design Aesthetic for Windows 8 and the New Gesture Language,” will address how the new design elements in Windows 8 will encourage the development of gesture-based, interactive applications for mobile devices.
Featured on Thursday, November 3, from 10:15-11 a.m., this session will discuss the design advantages of the Metro language, the use of touch and gesture in interaction design and how to incorporate and implement new gesture types in application development. It will also cover how experiences in the Windows 8 Metro environment can be integrated into tablet devices.
“Windows 8 is a refreshing change to Microsoft’s mobile platform,” said Kelley. “The new focus on user experience design, especially for the slate form factor, will spark the creation of more compelling applications and fuel the emerging slate wars.”
SIC is being held November 2-3, 2011 at the Washington State Convention Center in Downtown Seattle. This inaugural conference promises to bring together entrepreneurs, developers and online business professionals from throughout the U.S. and beyond for a powerful combination of in-depth presentations, networking opportunities and uniquely Seattle social events.

Boeing Introduces Gigapixel Next-Generation 737 Created by [wire] stone

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2, 2011 – [wire] stone, an integrated digital marketing agency, today announced a groundbreaking implementation of its emerging experiences with Boeing 737 Explained: a virtual Boeing 737 airplane. [wire] stone harnessed the latest digital technology from Microsoft® to develop a realistic, high-resolution photographic representation of a Boeing 737 based on thousands of images stitched together to create a single, interactive presentation. This immersive experience delivers a rich, compelling way for customers to view and understand the airplane without needing to stand next to one. “If we look at all the approaches that we use to communicate about the 737, most of them are very analytical, enabling us to talk about the financial operating costs, maintenance costs and other attributes,” said Diana Klug, Director of Marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “We wanted to take the marketing for the 737 to the next level, and the set of tools that we had did not allow us to convey the full range of new features and improvements that we’ve made to the product.”Looking for fresh ways to market the best-selling airplane in aviation history, Boeing tasked [wire] stone with developing an industry-first experience that could highlight detailed design features of the 737 as well as demonstrate the airplane in venues not physically possible with the actual product. From ideation to implementation, [wire] stone leveraged its creative, design and technical talent to create a marketing experience unlike any other. “Boeing 737 Explained is a great example of how [wire] stone is willing to push the envelope in pioneering innovative marketing solutions for our clients,” said Jon Baker, [wire] stone executive director of technology. “[wire] stone not only originated the virtual airplane concept, but we tested and proved it by applying technology from Microsoft in novel ways to create an immersive marketing experience that can be accessed across many form factors, both in- and out-of-browser.”A [wire] stone crew shot images of a United Airlines Boeing 737-900ER from every possible angle with high-resolution digital cameras that were placed on robotic camera mounts, providing stability and exact placement for the cameras and precise sequencing of the resulting images. More than 20,000 frames were captured, and the image files were combined to create a seamless, 17-gigapixel image of the airplane with life-like detail. The project was so extraordinary that it has been submitted to Guinness World Records as the “largest compound photograph of a single object.”To bring Boeing 737 Explained to life, [wire] stone developed the technology underpinnings to drive a rich user experience leveraging the Microsoft software portfolio. Silverlight® Deep Zoom provides rapid zooming in and out of the presentation as well as a 360-degree navigation of the airplane. With Deep Zoom, users can move around the airplane, viewing components as varied as individual rivets, safety details on landing gear and the interiors of jet engine rotors. In addition, Boeing provided annotations on many of the plane’s components to augment the images. In the first known commercial use of Kinect™ in a line-of-business scenario, [wire] stone integrated the gesture-based technology for use in trade shows and other venues that can support massive displays where Boeing 737 Explained can be viewed in real-world dimensions. Users stand a few feet back from a life-size image of a Boeing 737 plane and use Kinect to quickly move around and explore the aircraft. In addition, the solution runs on Windows® 7 and takes advantage of Windows Touch, where sales representatives and customers can use touch gestures to demonstrate different parts of the plane on large and small screens. [wire] stone is hosting the project for Boeing using the Windows Azure® platform. The cloud-based solution provides the performance, scalability and possibility of delivering the presentation to different types of devices—creating new methods of bringing the airplane’s features to customers using a variety of platforms, including PCs, touch devices and even smartphones.The emerging experiences practice at [wire] stone strives to create deeply immersive brand experiences by leveraging the agency’s expertise in rich user experience technologies such as HTML5, multi-touch, gigapixel imaging, Deep Zoom, Kinect and Silverlight. [wire] stone recently opened its first Experience Center in Seattle to explore the ideation and development of solutions that incorporate gesture or motion-based interfaces, 3D modeling and holographic projection, next-generation retail engagement and advanced data visualization. # # #About [wire] stone[wire] stone is a mid-size leader in integrated digital and experiential marketing solutions.
