With our partner RMA, we design, manufacture and install large scale permanent tourist and visitor attractions across the globe. We also work with museums and art galleries too. Examples of our work can be seen at Cadbury’s World in Birmingham, and the Royal Academy of Arts in Piccadilly, London.
If you’d like to view some of the 3D stuff we’ve done, give us a call and we’d be happy to arrange some complimentary passes. If you’d like to discuss an upcoming project give us a call on +44 (0) 207 11 77 896 or email us on info@activ8-3d.com.

Activ8-3D make virtual waves with ANIMOTION LIVE system
Holographic communications agency activ8-3D are collaborating in a joint venture between PSP and writemedia by launching a brand new motion capture system which uses life-size interactive
3D-characters in live stage settings such as events, product launches or shows.
Utilising the 3D-holoshow system and their magic 3D-holofilm, activ8-3D have created an amazing
3D display system that brings fully mobile, virtual characters to life, and provides the audience with live 3D-interaction that will leave people wondering whether they are in the real or virtual world.
Simon Humphreys, activ8-3D’s executive director said, “This really is an exciting development in holographic display, and offers our clients a brand new 3D-system that looks set to revolutionise the live event marketplace. The 3D-interactive system is targeted at events, shows, exhibitions as well as the film and computer games industries. The 3D-interactive system operates in real time, and in 360 degrees to capture every nuance of body movement.”
The system is set to pave the way at live events, due to the sheer mileage of what the system has to offer to clients. The revolution in 3D holographic display means that at sporting events, live virtual mascots, could be projected onto large screens and could interact with the crowd, or virtual presenters could entertain the audience at conferences or perhaps a company gala dinner, the virtual characters could even be used to meet and greet your guests.
David Woodcock from Animotion Live, added, “The system has already been successfully used at an event at the IMAX cinema in central London with Apple Macintosh co-founder Steve Wozniak, who was interviewed by a virtual humanoid! and we have very high hopes for our cooperation with activ8-3D and the JV of the 3D Animotion Live system. The technology really is cutting-edge and companies seeking to give their clients the wow factor can now stop searching - the wow factor is the here and it’s live”
Video, film production and computer games can also utilise Animotion Live, down to the fact that because there is no time lag and all of the motion elements are captured in real-time, the post-production pipeline, which was traditionally a very expensive and time-consuming process - is virtually eliminated.
Based on an actor wearing fibre optic sensing devices that capture highly accurate data on full body and head movements, the motion capture system uniquely incorporates data gloves, giving seamless, real time data transfer of intricate hand movements with stunningly integrated effect.
Facial and voice capture is achieved using phonetic driven real time voice capture. This eliminates lip-sync issues and provides full facial expressions and movement, making the holographic display opportunities endless.
Paul Andrews, creative director at activ8-3D, said, “Animotion Live uses the very latest in 3D animation software to produce stunning results, including real time lighting and shadow dynamics. The system also works with all the leading 3D applications, so it is possible to import existing 3D animations. A portfolio of stock characters are available, or bespoke characters can be specifically designed by the in-house team, ideal if you have ideas in mind, but require something a little different for an industry event or company meeting.”
Animotion’s David Woodcock added, “The product has been in development for over a year and the results we are achieving are exceptional. Although motion capture has been around for a while, we have really pushed the boundaries in terms of making all the elements work seamlessly together in real time.
“We have produced a robust, durable accurate and reliable system that provides a complete solution for the live events production world. This new technology has a real wow factor and certainly creates a buzz around events. Audiences are stunned, as they initially find it difficult to comprehend a virtual character interacting with them.
“With event budgets being made to work harder than ever, Animotion Live offers an alternative to hiring an expensive celebrity to host an event. A virtual host can offer a more cost effective option, whilst adding significantly to the dramatic impact.”

activ8-3D Launch New 3D-Holocube Technology
Holographic communications agency activ8-3D has unveiled a revolutionary new technology to their portfolio, the 3D-holocube. The 3D-holocube is a unique departure from traditional digital signage, creating striking 3D video holograms in under 10 seconds at the touch of a single button.
The ground breaking technology behind the 3D-holocube seamlessly integrates a mini 3D holographic system with 3D video holograms. Rather than watching a conventional 2D video on a flat screen, the technical wizardry gives birth to life-size free form objects, blending 2D and 3D images in the same physical space.
A 3D-optical illusion, the 3D-holocube is being tipped as a brand new advertising medium, the perfect foil to wow crowds desensitised to more traditional marketing and exhibition displays. Simon Humphrey’s, activ8-3D’s executive director said, “Consumers are increasingly switching off from traditional media so presenting your message in a new format means it will really stand out from the crowd.
The 3D-holocube like all holograms, is based on and old Victorian theatre trick called Pepper’s Ghost updated with a very contemporary twist. The traditional trick involved projecting images onto glass. With 3D holographic technology, the glass is replaced with a special 3D-holofilm. The smoke and mirrors of old give way to ultra-bright LCD and plasma screens, giving the appearance of HD images floating in space.
Bright, sharp and clearly visible in daylight conditions, 3D-video holograms created using the 3D-holocube draw large crowds, amazed at the effects produced. The London-based firm has already supplied the 3D-holocube technology to a number of companies across the globe and there are enquiries coming in everyday about this exciting product. Its eye-catching holograms are proving popular with retailers struggling to offset the credit crunch and draw consumer attention to their products and serves. 3D-holocube can be used at the entrance of stores, in supermarkets and on-site at exhibitions, the holographic applications are limited only by the imagination.
Paul Andrews, creative director at activ8-3D added, “The 3D-holocube and our other holographic technology can be packaged to provide a cutting edge 3D-display solution. We are currently in the launch stage of a new 3D display system called Animotion Live which uses the very latest motion capture technology to give holograms a voice. You can talk to the hologram and receive an answer back. Along with the3D-holocube, this could totally change the face of display advertising and retail, offering up the possibility for virtual shop assistants and hologram characters that interact with the audience at exhibitions, theme parks or corporate events.”
Founded in 2006,activ8-3d builds on almost two decades worth of experience in 3D and holographic technology and applications field. It has worked on projects for blue chip firms and household names from around the globe in territories including Europe, America, Asia and the Middle East. The diverse range of activ8-3D products and services are offered as a “one-stop-shop” solution which includes AutoCAD plans, installation of the 3D-system and content creation. Activ8-3D also offers consultancy and works in collaboration with many event and advertising agencies.

In partnership with Animotion Live, activ8-3D are now able to provide real time, life-size, 3D animated characters, live on stage!
This revolutionary system provides real time on-screen animated characters for live events, enabling a virtual character to interact live with the audience in real time. A “real” actor wearing a motion capture suit brings the “virtual” character to life, fully mobile with all the features one associates with animated characters in the movies except this one talks back to you.
