Phenomblue created a completely free QR code generator with the belief that technology and communication innovations, like QR codes, should be accessible and easy to use for everyone.

Recognizing that pre-movie entertainment is stale, our team saw an opportunity to leverage what's already there - a giant screen, lots of phones and an audience, already built in and waiting to be engaged. With Movie Lotto, just text, play and win, the incentive for arriving early. Movie Lotto is an example of Mobile Projection Gaming, which allows multiple users to interact with one single screen through their handheld devices. The concept and game were developed as part of Signature Reserve, a project that grew from Phenomblue’s commitment to research and development. http://book.phenomblue.com/LPK-Freelance http://book.phenomblue.com/following/book.phenomblue.com/LPK-Freelance Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:34:12 +0000 Phenomblue 2418273 <img src="http://payload5.cargocollective.com/1/1/33171/2418273/1.png" border="0" width="640" height="341" width_o="1425" height_o="761" src_o="http://payload5.cargocollective.com/1/1/33171/2418273/1_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload5.cargocollective.com/1/1/33171/2418273/2.png" border="0" width="640" height="341" width_o="1425" height_o="761" src_o="http://payload5.cargocollective.com/1/1/33171/2418273/2_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload5.cargocollective.com/1/1/33171/2418273/3.png" border="0" width="640" height="341" width_o="1425" height_o="761" src_o="http://payload5.cargocollective.com/1/1/33171/2418273/3_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload5.cargocollective.com/1/1/33171/2418273/4.png" border="0" width="640" height="341" width_o="1425" height_o="761" src_o="http://payload5.cargocollective.com/1/1/33171/2418273/4_o.png" align="left" /> LPK Feelance | LIVE LPK, the world’s largest employee-owned brand design agency, approached Phenomblue to develop and revitalize its online freelance database.
