The Sound Of Football – Pepsi Refresh

We’re very pleased to announce the release of our Pepsi Refresh – Sound of Football project. In collaboration with Åkestam.Holst and the Pepsi Refresh project, we accepted the challenge to invent a new way to play football for visually impaired people. We developed a new platform with a tracking system and a 3D sound landscape. Take a look! Also view the project

Co:Create

Society 46 was invited to be a part of the Higher Pitch exhibition in London.
We decided to do something with mobile phones, but staying away from apps as we wanted as many users as possible to interact. Our artwork, CoCreate is a collaborative drawing space, an installation where mobile phones are connected to the same canvas through our real-time socket server. With the acceleration sensors in our smart phones physical movements are transferred into digital marks.

Nike – ZlatanZuperfly.com

Society 46 was approaced by Naked. They had a vision of placing a 360 degree camera on Zlatan’s head, and take the user on a journey from Zlatan’s point of view.
We worked super hard to translate this idea into an engaging and viral web site, and only six weeks later we went live with this super web site.
Society 46 managed both the technically very challenging video production, as well as the web site production.

Take the video for a spin, and let us know what you think.

YouLive – Multi user live concert system

Prime came to Society 46 with high amitions: Can you create a unique new way to experience music live online?
Our proposal was the user’s actually become a person in the audience.
The users can applause, and as they do this, everyone else will see a pair of actual hands rise in the audience and clap. The artist also sees this, on a huge plasma monitor in front of the stage.
Society 46 used a custom built live server, that we are alone in the world with, to engage thousands of fans in real time, letting them communicate in new ways with each other and the artists.

This technology is perfect for ANY live event. Fashion, sports, music, entertainment, TV shows etc. Don’t hesitate to contact Society 46 for a more in-depth screening of this multi award-winning technology.

To the left is the actual app that the user sees. To the right we placed the info that the artist sees.

Society 46 serves a slice of the internet. For Naked Communication.

We made this site for Naked Stockholm. Three more Naked sites will be up shortly for Naked Germany, Naked Denmark and Naked Norway.
All sites are based on “the slice of internet” idea. Society 46′s Martin Wijk constructed the framework and put it all together with a custom built backend admin.

Make a Scrapbook out of your favourite TV memory

Ericsson usually delivers broadcast systems for TV companies but with this campaign they wanted to increase their dialog with the end TV consumer. My Tv Moments was created to start that communication. The audience searches for their favorite TV memories via YouTube, when they find a clip we created a system that sorts through the clips information using a custom algorithm. We turn to the internet’s popular search and information providers (such as Google and Wikipedia) looking through everything from images, blogs, books, magazines. We then further sort this collected information, creating a  scrapbook about the TV memory which is sharable with friends.
Try it out at: www.mytvmoments.com!

The Wake Up Call – Straight Out Your Boring Friend!

Is your friend a homebody, a clingy parent, a workaholic or just plain boring? In this interactive campaign you can straighten your dull friend out with the help of the smug Alex Schulman. By filling in the name of your friend and why they are a bore, a story is built and executed through a movie that your friend receives in an email. Or have Alex Schulman call them live on the site, to really let them know how boring they’ve become!

Alex Schulman is a Swedish journalist and a comedian, who’s famous for his sarcastic and clever humor. The site is a interactive campaign for Nöjesbladet, which is a sub-section of the newspaper Aftonbladet. The site uses live synthetic text-to-speech technology from Acapela and live-stream-servers. Naked came up with this great idea and Society 46 was in charge of all aspects of the production. Producer: Karl Rosander, Developer: Martin Wijk, Visual Artist: Christoffer Öberg Runfors, Director: Jonas Zachrisson

FWA award for our aid app!

We partnered with Åkestam Holst on AppAid for SOS Barnbyar, which makes it convenient for people to convert their mobile usage into good deeds! Unlocking your phone counts as a few cents, which accumulates and is contributed to children in need. We were happy to be involved in such a worthy project!

Co:Create – The Movie

It’s not often you get to make a mini-movie about twisting an iPhone about to make pretty pictures on a screen in a room full of ad folk. I hope Banksy is reading this and glimpsing the future. (if you are reading this Banksy, please paint the side of my house, 23 Acacia Avenue, Acaciaville, Somewhere…)
