QA Graphics, Iowa-based interactive design firm, is pleased to announce the release of 3.3.1 of QA Graphics’ Bridge Data Manager, an integral part of the award-winning Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard. With this release comes native integration with the Obvious AcquiSuite devices.

The Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard (EEED) is an interactive application used to create occupant awareness through the display of building performance data, demonstrations of sustainable building features, tips on how to be efficient and other educational features. The Bridge Data Manager acts as the central communication hub for this solution. Now with the release of 3.3.1 the Bridge Data Manager, comes native integration with the Obvious AcquiSuite devices.

Any data request made is managed by the Bridge Data Manager, which gathers information from the AcquiSuite A8812 device through a configurable port on the network. Available through the web services from AcquiSuite, a simple XML request can be made from the Data Manager through an added gateway. The Bridge Data Manager supports multiple gateway integration and allows for multiple AcquiSuite devices to be added. Once this data becomes available to the Data Manager, it can be provided for the Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard application to display metered data throughout a facility or campus. The data can be displayed through a variety of educational graphs, comparison charts, leaderboards, etc., to educate viewers about building performance and provide insight on how everyone’s actions impact building efficiency.

QA Graphics, Iowa based interactive design firm, is pleased to announce that they have developed a Shift Virtual Configurator for Wyatt Bicycle Co. Shift is a cutting-edge interactive application that allows virtual product customization. Wyatt Bicycles is using the application to allow customers to virtually customize their bicycle before purchasing.

Wyatt Bicycle Co is a bicycle company based out of La Crosse, WI. The company specializes in reliable, affordable, and appealing fixed gear and single speed bicycles. Wyatt Bicycles saw a need within the bicycle industry to provide customers more flexibility when bicycle shopping. Typically customers have the ability to choose from a few color options for the frame, but not the entire bicycle. Wyatt found that a large portion of their customer base was requesting more custom bicycle combinations, so the company wanted to find an easier way to help customers identify exactly what they wanted. Wyatt sought out QA graphics to discuss a solution that would help them streamline this customization and buying process. QA Graphics worked with them to create a Shift Virtual Configurator.

“I hope that this configurator will provide an innovative way for customers to pick and choose the colors of their bicycle and actually see what the bicycle will look like before they purchase it,” said Wyatt Hrudka, owner, Wyatt Bicycle Co. “I believe that this will help increase our sales and grow the company.”

The interactive application has been integrated into Wyatt Bicycle’s existing website. It allows users to customize their bike and better visualize different color options before ordering. Customers now have the ability to select their color preference for the bike’s frame, wheels, seat, chain and decal. They can also choose from different background settings and save an image to view the customized bicycle at a later time. This configurator can be viewed on Wyatt Bicycle’s website at http://wyattbikes.com/customize/.
