Interactive Activities
1. RealSoccer – Soccer Simulator

With the RealSoccer simulator, players use real soccer balls to dribble and shoot on goalkeepers.
Goalkeepers react in real-time to try and save each shot. The soccer simulator user is the shooter in a
one-on-one scenario against the goaltender. The shooter shoots on a „live‟ goaltender. The object is
to score as many goals in the session as possible. The more accurate and higher the velocity of the
shot, the more likely the player/user is to score.

The projected image size of the soccer simulator net and goaltender give an accurate perspective
view that places the player/user inside the penalty area. The player/user shoots from various positions
within the penalty area. Custom branding and advertising opportunities exist on screen.

Using a unique combination of video and animation processes, the soccer simulator goaltender reacts
just as a real goaltender would with unique save movements. Each save movement is unique based
on the location and type of shot. Based on the skill level of the soccer simulator goaltender selected
and the abilities of the player/user, the result of the shot will be determined accordingly.

During the player/user session, the system's scoreboard displays the following data:

        Number of shots taken
        The velocity of each shot
        The average velocity of all shots
        The number of goals scored
        The scoring percentage
        The time left in the session

3. Racing Cockpit Simulators

Techtude has ten imported internationally designed “Hyper Stimulator” Formula 1 Cockpit Simulators.
These simulators are designed to replicate for any participant the sheer thrill of driving any of a
multitude of different types of racing cars including a Formula 1 as well as most of the modern super
sports cars. With our own custom steering & pedals and the most widely used professional racing
software, “rFactor”, participants can experience any of the world‟s most famous international racing
circuits including our own Kyalami GP Circuit at speeds in excess of 280 km/h. Our simulators can be
networked allowing all ten race cars to be on the same circuit at the same time thus allowing
participants to race against each other. The simulators can be custom branded for clients in either
their own livery or that of a top Formula 1 team. The digital race circuits and digital race cars can also

6. PROTEE GOLF SIMULATOR 2.0 - The Ultimate Indoor Golf Simulation
   Experience!

The ProTee Golf Simulator 2.0 is one of the most advanced and affordable 3D Golf Simulator
systems available on the market today. A Golf Simulator from ProTee has been uniquely
designed to experience the ultimate 3D Golf Simulation at an affordable price.
The Indoor Golf Simulator system allows you to use your own golf clubs (from driver to putter)
and play a complete round of golf. Or maybe just practice, working on that swing fault all in the
comfort of your own home or office. The views of the golf course can be either projected onto a
large screen set in front of the player or just viewed on your computer monitor set to the side.
Using your own clubs, you set up to hit the shot just as you would on a real course. The system
allows you to drive off the tee, hit fairway shots, pitch, chip and putt the ball into the hole. After
every shot, the system automatically flies along the bal l's trajectory to where the ball lies, ready
for the next shot.
Whether you are a pro or just a beginner, the investment in an Advanced Indoor Golf Simulator
will do more for your game than any of the latest space-age technology clubs you can buy. And
it's fun too.

Bespoke Technology Production Services
Techtude also specializes in the design, development and deployment of multimedia technology
solutions and integrations in the marketing, events and communications industries. We custom
develop and integrate both unique hardware and software solutions for true immersive activations.
Some examples of specialised projects we have developed and worked on;

   1. With tobacco legislation becoming increasingly more stringent, Lucky Strike wanted an
      innovative unique means to communicate with consumers. Techtude developed,
      manufactured and deployed 11 Funky Stainless Steel Pod Computers in various high profile
      restaurants and bars throughout the major SA cities. The pod computer was a smart card
      operated lifestyle club information and ticketing system to be accessed by Lucky Strike
      consumer‟s exclusively with a Lucky Strike Branded Smart Card. The consumers were
      divided into three distinct lifestyle categories, Music, Adrenalin and Fashion and issued with a
      branded 2k Smart Cart. Upon entering an establishment the consumer would swipe the smart
      card, and enter a secret pin matched to their ID number, once verified the system would
      display a number of screens offering various activities and information including a calendar of
      events that were available in their area and in their line of interest. If an activity was chosen
      on the touch screen the system would issue two free tickets to the consumer to attend the
      event. The campaign ran very successfully for a one year trial until new anti tobacco
      legislation bared the technology from further use. The system was monitored live via a 3G
      network from Stellenbosch helping management asses in real time where the consumers
      were hanging out and what sort of events they liked to attend.

   2. With the opening of MWebs‟ new concept stores in Maponya Mall and Cresta Mall, Techtude
      was commissioned to integrate and install a “Three Screen Mega Plasma Display Wall” driven
      with our custom built PC with proprietary software. The system had to be easily customisable
      with frequent content updates and to produce compelling content over all three screens to be
      used as the main communication display and advertising tool in the store.

   3. In 2007 Techtude was commissioned to implement an “Eight Screen Mega Plasma Wall” to
      be deployed in the “SuperSport Live Broadcast Studio” as the backdrop to the on air
      commentators.

   4. Techtude was the first and only company in South Africa to use a unique “Liquid Crystal”
      technology for the 2006 launch of the new Honda CRV. A liquid crystal membrane was
      laminated between two sheets of glass and used as a massive projection screen. At the
      conclusion of the AV a timed electrical charge into the liquid crystal membrane made the
      screen disappear to reveal the new Honda CRV. This idea was subsequently adopted by Audi
      for a new model launch in Dubai.

PROTEE GOLF SIMULATOR 2.0 - The Ultimate Indoor Golf Simulation Experience! The ProTee Golf Simulator 2.0 is one of the most advanced and affordable 3D Golf Simulator systems available on the market today. A Golf Simulator from ProTee has been uniquely designed to experience the ultimate 3D Golf Simulation at an affordable price. The Indoor Golf Simulator system allows you to use your own golf clubs (from driver to putter) and play a complete round of golf. Or maybe just practice, working on that swing fault all in the comfort of your own home or office. The views of the golf course can be either projected onto a large screen set in front of the player or just viewed on your computer monitor set to the side. Using your own clubs, you set up to hit the shot just as you would on a real course. The system allows you to drive off the tee, hit fairway shots, pitch, chip and putt the ball into the hole. After every shot, the system automatically flies along the bal l's trajectory to where the ball lies, ready for the next shot. Whether you are a pro or just a beginner, the investment in an Advanced Indoor Golf Simulator will do more for your game than any of the latest space-age technology clubs you can buy. And it's fun too. Techtude (Pty) Ltd. 2004/015325/07 | Directors: RL Major (Managing), DM Major 6
  • 7. Bespoke Technology Production Services Techtude also specializes in the design, development and deployment of multimedia technology solutions and integrations in the marketing, events and communications industries. We custom develop and integrate both unique hardware and software solutions for true immersive activations. Some examples of specialised projects we have developed and worked on; 1. With tobacco legislation becoming increasingly more stringent, Lucky Strike wanted an innovative unique means to communicate with consumers. Techtude developed, manufactured and deployed 11 Funky Stainless Steel Pod Computers in various high profile restaurants and bars throughout the major SA cities. The pod computer was a smart card operated lifestyle club information and ticketing system to be accessed by Lucky Strike consumer‟s exclusively with a Lucky Strike Branded Smart Card. The consumers were divided into three distinct lifestyle categories, Music, Adrenalin and Fashion and issued with a branded 2k Smart Cart. Upon entering an establishment the consumer would swipe the smart card, and enter a secret pin matched to their ID number, once verified the system would display a number of screens offering various activities and information including a calendar of events that were available in their area and in their line of interest. If an activity was chosen on the touch screen the system would issue two free tickets to the consumer to attend the event. The campaign ran very successfully for a one year trial until new anti tobacco legislation bared the technology from further use. The system was monitored live via a 3G network from Stellenbosch helping management asses in real time where the consumers were hanging out and what sort of events they liked to attend. 2. With the opening of MWebs‟ new concept stores in Maponya Mall and Cresta Mall, Techtude was commissioned to integrate and install a “Three Screen Mega Plasma Display Wall” driven with our custom built PC with proprietary software. The system had to be easily customisable with frequent content updates and to produce compelling content over all three screens to be used as the main communication display and advertising tool in the store. 3. In 2007 Techtude was commissioned to implement an “Eight Screen Mega Plasma Wall” to be deployed in the “SuperSport Live Broadcast Studio” as the backdrop to the on air commentators. 4. Techtude was the first and only company in South Africa to use a unique “Liquid Crystal” technology for the 2006 launch of the new Honda CRV. A liquid crystal membrane was laminated between two sheets of glass and used as a massive projection screen. At the conclusion of the AV a timed electrical charge into the liquid crystal membrane made the screen disappear to reveal the new Honda CRV. This idea was subsequently adopted by Audi for a new model launch in Dubai. Techtude (Pty) Ltd. 2004/015325/07 | Directors: RL Major (Managing), DM Major 7
