While its not the prettiest execution of my product, The Glider (more information on this & other products in the near future), it is one of the first! Today Disney & MSN launched an ad that uses a product I developed for Microsoft. The Glider is a new way to display ad space. Instead of being stuck in the 300×250 space that advertisers are normally bound to, I’ve opened up multiple new areas to display content.
Check out the Disney’s UP Glider execution (permanent link updated!). Remember, I did not design or skin this, I merely built the underlying Actionscript 3 + Papervision3D technologies that allow for the dynamic content to be loaded in on top of the MSN homepage (any MSN sites actually) and then tilted around in 3D space.
I am currently working on building out a version of The Glider for Imagi’s AstroBoy movie, which will be launching in the coming weeks. This one, I feel, is quite a bit better of an execution of the product. The UP one kinda hacked in extra stuff that wasn’t built into the original specs, but AstroBoy follows the plan perfectly.
