Tradeshow animation and interactive 3D product explorers

Booth loops that stop people in the aisle, and touchscreen apps that let a buyer turn your tool over in their hands. Built for OTC, ADIPEC, LAGCOE, and every show in between.

Two ways to own the booth

Most booths need both: a loop that pulls people in from the aisle, and something hands-on for the conversation once they step inside.

Booth animation loops

Silent, seamless loops built to be understood from ten feet away.

  • Sized for any screen, from a tabletop monitor to a video wall
  • Readable without sound, with short on-screen labels
  • Seamless loop points so the screen never looks reset
  • Short cuts for LinkedIn and email before and after the show

Interactive 3D product explorers

A touchscreen app your sales team hands to the visitor.

  • Rotate and zoom on the product in full 3D
  • Tap a component to see what it does
  • Open section and cutaway views
  • Play the operating animation in context
  • Runs on a touchscreen kiosk, tablet, or laptop, and keeps working after the show for sales visits and training

An interactive explorer in action

Recorded from a touchscreen explorer built for a drilling-fluids and solids-control equipment line. Visitors start at the full rig site, tap any unit, and get its animation, key facts, and cutaway views one touch away.

Start at the full rig site

The whole equipment layout on one screen. Visitors tap any unit and the camera flies straight to it.

Play the operating animation

Each unit opens its own animation, with the key selling points listed right beside it.

Key facts on every unit

Info panels give visitors the essentials on each piece of equipment while your team talks.

Open a cutaway view

Labeled cutaways show what happens inside the equipment, step by step.

How a project works

Tell us your show date up front. The schedule in your quote is set to hit it.

  1. Share your show and your CADThe show, the screen sizes in your booth, and the products you want featured. STEP or IGES files are ideal.
  2. Plan the booth storyWe agree on what the loop shows and, for an explorer, which components and views a visitor can open.
  3. Review draftsYou test a working draft of the loop or the explorer and send notes. Revision rounds are included.
  4. Ship before the showFinal loop files sized for your screens, the explorer ready to install, and short social cuts for promotion.

Common questions

Which tradeshows do you make booth animation for?

Any show where oil and gas or industrial equipment is sold, including OTC in Houston, ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, and LAGCOE in Lafayette. Projects are handled remotely, so the show location does not matter.

What is an interactive 3D product explorer?

A touchscreen application built from your product’s CAD. Visitors rotate the product, tap components to learn what they do, open cutaway views, and play the operating animation, all without a salesperson running a slideshow.

What screen sizes and formats do you deliver?

Loops are delivered to fit the screens in your booth, from a single monitor to a multi-screen wall, plus vertical and square versions for social media.

Can we keep using it after the show?

Yes. Booth loops become website and social video, and an interactive explorer works on a tablet or laptop for sales visits and training.

When should we start for a tradeshow?

As early as possible. Include your show date when you request a quote, and the schedule is planned backward from it.
