We found a new home in the core of Helsinki. New premises are located in the old hospital area called Maria. We are now part of KIRAHub developing smarter and sustainable cities and buildings. We also combined our new office with Granlund Audiovisual team so that we can do even closer cooperation. We have already done together several cool projects like Aukio at Helsinki Airport and Moomin Museum in Tampere. This is a big step forward for OiOi and we are very excited!
OiOi on yhteistyössä Helsingin kaupungin innovaatioyhtiö Forum Virium Helsingin, Kustaankartanon Seniorikeskuksen ja Helsingin Palvelukeskuksen kanssa toteuttanut digitaalisen ja multisensorisen aistihuoneen muistisairaiden ikäihmisten hoivan tueksi Kustaankartanon seniorikeskuksessa. Tavoitteenamme on parantaa muistisairaiden ikäihmisten elämänlaatua ja tutkia mahdollisuutta korvata lääkehoitoa rauhoittavilla elämyksillä.
“Aistihuone tuo virkistystä ja vaihtelua, siellä voi sukeltaa seikkailuun, nauttia luonnon kauneudesta ja rauhasta tai heittäytyä hassuttelemaan, maalaamaan taidetta tai leikkimään sadepisaroilla. Aistihuone tuo valtaisan valikoiman erilaisia mahdollisuuksia löytää ilon aiheita, hymyä ja onnistumisia, herättää muistoja ja rauhoittaa mieltä. Vastaavaa huonetta ei löydy muualta Pohjoismaista ja se on herättänyt kovasti kansainvälistä kiinnostusta”, kertoo Kustaankartanon seniorikeskuksen osastonhoitaja Jaana Pilvinen.
”Meillä oli jo käytännön kokemusta siitä, että virtuaaliluontotuotteemme vaikuttaa positiivisesti rentoutumiseen, palautumiseen ja stressitasojen laskuun. Myös tuoreet tutkimukset tukevat tätä vaikutusta. Parasta on ollut nähdä, että aistihuone on aidosti merkityksellinen palvelutalon asukkaille ja myös henkilökunnalle työssä jaksamisen kannalta. Tämä on myös malliesimerkki siitä, miten jo olemassaolevia tiloja voidaan helposti muuttaa elämyksellisiksi. On ollut hienoa päästä mukaan tähän kokeiluun”, toteaa yrityksemme toinen perustaja Sami Kämppi.
Aistihuoneen toteutuksessa on käytetty muun muassa seuraavia tuotteitamme:
Virtuaaliluonto ja Elämysseinä.
We are delighted to announce that we have a new team member in OiOi. She is Meeri Mäkäräinen who strengthens our scale of skills to create unique and meaningful interactive installations. Just few months ago she had the defence of her dissertation. We are glad to have the opportunity to work with her.
Here is views written by Meeri herself:
“Last November, I defended my doctoral thesis titled “Blending and Exaggeration of Animated Facial Expressions of Emotion” at Aalto University. My thesis focused on ways to create emotionally believable facial animation for characters in movies, games or virtual worlds. Now it is time to move on to researching how expressive characters in smart spaces could be used for supporting the development of social and emotional skills of children. I am really excited to start my work as a postdoc at OiOi!”
We created two immersive and interactive game walls for Moomin Snowcastle Finland in Rovaniemi, Arctic Circle. There is a Moomin Midwinter game wall. Moomintroll and Little My are adventuring in the winter landscape. The other game wall is about painting Auroras – so it is called Aurora Wall. Both of the walls are made of snow.
OiOi and SuperPark launched the cooperation. SuperPark is all-in-one indoor activity park with three themed areas that offer over 20 fun, healthy and energizing activities for all ages. At this point in time, SuperPark has indoor activity parks in Finland, Hong Kong and Sweden. OiOi implemented the SuperPark-styled KickIt football simulator in the latest SuperPark in Uppsala, Sweden. In the near future OiOi will develop new Smart Space solutions for SuperPark.
OiOi is the most promising growth company in South Savo. We won the regional competition in Kasvu Open. The competition will continue at the national level in autumn. There we are competing amongst the most promising growth companies in Finland.
We have made a facelift for our old site and bring it up to date with our latest endeavours.
Dudesons Activity Park and OiOi got together and created new exergaming installations for the latest activity park in Iso Omena, Espoo. KickIt and SlamIt, football and ice hockey simulators, as well as a game wall with content suitable for all ages!
OiOi and Särkänniemi amusement park developed a new throwing game. The game is a tribute to the traditional amusement park games but brings in new digital vibes and effects. It raises entertaining amusement park games to the next level. A game changer indeed!
OiOi & the world’s only Moomin Museum in cooperation. We designed and and developed several interactive installations, as well as all the tablet interfaces, for the Moomin Museum in Tampere. The museum has been a great success and has gained attention all around the world!
Citycon wanted something fresh and entertaining for their new kids’ playground in Iso Omena shopping centre. OiOi and Lappset took it to the next level. We created an interactive game wall. It’s been a crowd-puller since day one.
OiOi created the identity for the Centre of War and Peace – Muisti with new installations for the exhibition. Strong stories and memories combined using the latest technologies creates a deep understanding of human in the middle of crisis.
We are creating a huge SNOW touch screen with Keskustakirjasto for the Finland 100 Years opening ceremony. It will be huge, almost ten meters wide! The #SmartSnow screen is connected to other opening events held in Mikkeli and Levi Aurora Park with similar walls. Come and paint together!
We are currently working with two major Museum projects: Moomin museum and Centre of War and Peace Muisti.
This 2016/2017 winter season there will be first time ever interactive northern lights in Finnish Lapland. We are making a huge touch screen made from snow where you can create your own northern lights to a New Aurora Park at Levi. This is COOL!
