Culture Finder is intended to help visitors to Cambridge plan their own tour. The central idea has been to focus on things (which might be museum objects, artworks or art events) rather than just venues or places, and build in some chance discoveries along the way.

Visitors can browse a selection of university curated tours, user published tours or can create tours of their own. The tour route is then shown on a map which can be printed out if required.

The website has all been designed with mobile users in mind, so rather than being a website with responsive templates the design has been led by mobile and tablet technology. One great feature is the ability to view the site after first use when offline, further closing the gap between websites and apps.

Culture Finder has been developed with the help of the Digital R&D Fund for the arts (Arts Council England, Arts and Humanities Research Council and Nesta) and was a collaboration between Gooii, Knowledge Integration, The Collections Trust, The Fitzwilliam Museum and the University of Cambridge. Key technologies include: HTML5, CSS3, AngularJS, OpenStreetMap, couchDB and PHP.

Patrick Goff is an award winning artist and designer, who’s had his paintings displayed in Arts Association collections, in hotels, colleges, hospitals and in many private collections. In 1982 Patrick founded an interior design practice going on to win two European Hotel Design Awards and an international award for Spa design.

Having worked with Patrick for many years on the hoteldesigns.net website, he naturally turned to Gooii when it came to building his own site. This responsive site, adapting to mobile browsers including the iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets, features Partick’s stunning art as well as eCommerce features, allowing people to purchase Patrick’s paintings with PayPal integration handling all transactions.

Never Fade Records is an independent record label based in London and founded in 2010 by singer songwriter Gabrielle Aplin (The Power of Love, Please Don’t Say You Love Me) and artist manager James Barnes. Artists released via Never Fade Records include Gabrielle Aplin, Hannah Grace, Bite The Buffalo and Nottingham’s own Saint Raymond.

This responsive website has been designed to function on desktop browsers, as well as adapting to mobile devices including iPhone and iPad as well Android phone and tablet devices. The site is also fully updateable via a WordPress content management system, which enables Never Fade Records to easily add text, images and videos to the site. Gooii were also commissioned to create the Never Fade Records logo, with the brief of creating a design with a classic folk feel to it, harking back to the indie record labels of the 60s and 70s.

At Gooii we always strive for the best results possible, whether we’re building a website, designing a corporate identity or coding an app. So it’s always a pleasure when a client writes to say how much they’ve enjoyed working with us.

“It has been a pleasure to work with both you directly and Gooii as a company, and I would not hesitate to recommend Gooii to anyone else. Should we require any further work doing I will be contacting you.”

Shaun Radford, Radius Systems (‘Aeon Locator’ Android App)

With over 650 maths games and activities, Interactive Resources is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of interactive content to schools worldwide. Having commissioned Gooii to build the original website a number of years ago, Interactive Resources returned to us for a full redesign and rebuild.

The new Interactive Resources site boasts a total design refresh, an activity browser, the ability to browse by product CDs, enhanced favourites functionality as well as improved search and filter options. Under the hood a lot has changed too, there’s a new Content Management System and a totally re-written backend, ensuring the site is as fast as it is secure and reliable.

A crowd sourcing project that uses the same infrastructure as the ‘London Street Views’ website, ‘Tag London’ asks schools to collaborate with the museum to help augment their data by identifying objects. After sign in, each user in a class is shown a stream of objects and asked to identify the period and type for each from the available list. The answers are then aggregated and the top scoring answer deemed correct. The whole process was gamified with each user being scored for accuracy and amounts, as well as a whole class aggregated score. The resulting metadata will be analysed by the Museum.

Between 1838 and 1840 London publisher John Tallis created a series of 88 pamphlets titled a ‘Tallis’s London Street Views’. These guides illustrated London’s main commercial streets (or parts thereof) and included a street history, advertisements, a local map and, most useful, an elevation street view and business directory. Eighty-seven of these guides are in the Museum of London’s collection.

This website, a NESTA-funded project with the Imperial War Museum, displays the elevation views of 35 of the guides (from the West End) and with the help of users, MoL will create the first searchable business directory of early Victorian London that includes street views.

Key features include: Crowdsourced contributions for street view data, allowing users to define and describe buildings within the business directories; integrated Google map functionality; the ability to search and view the guides; and responsive templates for viewing the site on mobile devices.

One platform, over 350,000 late 15th to 19th century texts and over 65 million images. Historical Texts brings together three historically significant collections for the first time: Early English Books Online (EEBO), Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) and 65,000 texts from the British Library 19th Century collection.

Key features of JISC Historical Texts include: 67 million metadata records comprising book and page metadata; full text and images for each page; delivered entirely using cloud services the data volume is greater than 75 TB; all 65 million images pre-processed to create high quality zoomable images; and a map-reduce approach used for asynchronous processing of the source data.

The UI was developed in AngularJS with Bootstrap, as a UI framework is broken down into two main applications: “Search” and “Viewer”. Gooii Partnered with Knowledge Integration on this project, whose CIIM middleware solution populated data in an Elasticsearch index for the UI to consume.

Although we have only just released Historical Texts, we’ve already started work on the next phase of development, due for release in the next academic year.

The Wipeout Wall iPhone and iPad games have been so successful Gooii were commissioned to convert the apps from iOS to Android.

Available for the both HD, SD, phone and tablet devices, both version of the Wipeout Wall apps can be downloaded direct from the Google Play Store, as well as from Amazon for use on Kindle Fire Devices.
