This was the first of our major projects - a fantastic opportunity that allowed us to explore ideas for a community site, with separate areas for kids, teenagers and parents.
Hitachi's Smartcard technology was implemented to give users access to the site and working with start-up, Safety First, Zareba was going to be the next big thing in secure, online communities for kids and teenagers.
We developed a highly interactive 3D navigation with cartoon characters and an interface that incorporated community features such as an instant messaging "radar", friends, wish lists, forums, and shopping pages that would have linked to various retail partners.
Sadly, the onset of the now infamous dot-com bust happened and the rest is history.
