Project Description

In order for Germany to remain a country of ideas and innovations ThyssenKrupp created the initiative »Discovering the future of technology« in 2004. The initiative aims to encourage the dialogue on technology across all social and age groups – above all among young people, the masterminds and »engineers of tomorrow«.

The internet presentation developed and implemented for ThyssenKrupp by Scholz & Volkmer thus includes the »I-KU children’s world«, which is in particular aimed at a very young target group. In this world, the alien I-KU represents the congenial ambassador for all creators of ideas of the future.

Tasks

Implementation of Flash applications which are both suitable for children and entertaining within the I-KU children's world.

Concept & Implementation

• the three-dimensional and animatable implementation of I-KU according to the hand-drawn comic version makes him more realistic and thus more concrete
• the use of I-KU 3D renderings in different poses (with and without UFO) revives the children's world
• implementation of an interactive paint-box: the areas of the linear I-KU drawing pattern can be painted in online and then printed
• an I-KU timetable can be personalised by entering one's name in the Flash application – the pdf which is then generated (black and white or coloured) can be printed or saved
