at The Techno Edge of Industrial Showmanship Sporting a Graphical Interface designed by Motivo, and Web Messages powered by FileMakerPro 5 , Majikam LLC has delivered a state-of-the-art Live Image Messaging System or "Majikam" to the Dewars "World of Whiskey" in Aberfeldy Scotland. |

At
the conclusion of a wondrous trip
through Dewars "World of Whiskey" in Aberfeldy, Scotland,
patrons can now "Let the World Know They're There"using
a high tech version of the old photo-booth called a MajikamĒ
What follows is the story of how it all came together and the companies involved in creating a Majikam custom kiosk. When Dewars wanted to take its brand and visitor center into the high tech age, it turned to the Motivo design firm to create a web-site and on-site kiosks that are both functional and appealing. After designing a world class interactive web-site for Dewars, Motivo then turned its attention to picking out the right company to deliver an electronic postcard solution for the many kiosks Motivo has implemented for the Dewars "World of Whiskey" Visitors Center. Motivo was attracted to Majikam's unique methodology, technology, and tested reliability in stand-alone kiosks and high traffic events. Apple's Internet News Department wrote an article about the Majikam which one of Motivo's staff noticed, then they found out first hand about Majikam at the FileMaker Booth, Mac World 2000, NYC. Subsequently, Motivo submitted art and HTML forms with a user flow chart and Majikam integrated that with it's proprietary process to deliver this high tech photo-booth to the Dewars "World of Whiskey" in Aberfeldy, Scotland. When a World of Whiskey Visitor uses the Majikam this is where the "Majik" starts: The opening screen to the interface has a pleasant earthy color scheme featuring a water mark of the Dewars Highlander, inviting the user to begin, a modern animation cycling through the upper screen with simple instructions on how to start the process by pressing the 'begin' button. The background screen allows the user to choose which background is going to be superimposed behind them using the Majikam chroma-key feature. These backgrounds are photographs of Dewars world of whiskey locations and famous Dewars commercial artwork. The live screen shows the user in a video stream superimposed on the chosen background in real time. Once the user sees what they like with them blending into the background they click 'take photo' . A preview of the image appears so the user may retake the photo or continue to the addressing screen. On the addressing screen the user enters their name, their e-mail address, the e-mail address of someone else and then a text message. When the user hits the send button a screen congratulates them on the successful completion of their Majikam. This is when the patented Majikam technology continues work, automatically creating a unique web page or "Majikam" using the users photo and input. Simultaneously e-mailing a link to that Majikam to the sender and the recipient. On the back end Majikam uses several specialized server machines to hold, and serve the database contents to the Majikam web-server machine. The versatility and stability of the FileMaker Web Server Solution using Lasso RDBMS is the backbone of The Majikam message server. FileMakers Unique ability to hold multimedia assets and or references to stored resources makes it the most versatile tool for this type of multimedia web application. Now waiting in the e-mail boxes of recipients and senders of these Majikams are Majikam message links. Once clicked on these e-mail links open the Majikam in the users default browser. On display in these Majikam messages is the great Motivo design carried through featuring a link to Dewars web-site, the chroma-key video capture made of the sender at the "World of Whiskey", the senders' e-mail and their text message. There you have it, an up-close look at Majikam, a fun new high-tech messaging system currently part of the Dewars "World of Whiskey" tour in Aberfeldy Scotland. |
