Michael Jackson Opus

    also ich habe auf der Ticketmasterseite bestellt und einfach nicht auf Euro umgestellt, sondern die Bestellung auf Dollar gelassen.


    Der Europreis auf der Seite war wesentlich teuerer, als er nach der Umrechnung des Dollarpreises hätte sein dürfen.
    Ich denke mal, nun, da ich den Preis auf Dollar gelassen habe, wird die Bank einfach das Äquivalent in Euro abbuchen, womit ich dann einen normalen Umrechnungsfaktor bekomme.

    Also ich habe das Buch per Mail bestellt. Ich will per Kreditkarte zahlen, aber eben erst wenn das Buch aus raus kommt und nicht jetzt schon (auf der Webseite wurde dann Bestellung per Mail empfohlen).
    Der Kontakt war sehr nett. Mir wurde dort erst gesagt, dass Buch und Porto zusammen knapp 150 EUR kostet. Dann kam aber nochmal eine Mail hinterher, dass die Abbuchung in Pfund erfolgt.
    Mir solls letztendlich auch egal sein :)

    so.. hab nach mehr als einer woche endlich antwort von OPUSmedia bekommen.. gab ja zwei verschiedene bilder von dem teil..


    hier die antwort:




    also ist das hier die version, die wir geschickt bekommen:

    This December, Michael Jackson comes back to life through a postcard and your webcam, but reviving the King of Pop is just the beginning.


    Kraken Opus, a London-based book publisher, announced last month it would release a new encyclopedia of all things Michael Jackson this winter. The singer himself collaborated with the company before his death, providing never-before-seen photos and illustrations (done by ***** himself) as well as approving new technology the publisher developed and introduces for the first time with “The Official Michael Jackson Opus.”


    The new tech, called Opus Reality, uses a paper card included with the book that interacts with your webcam. When you log on to Kraken’s dedicated site for the book and hold the card up in front of your PC’s camera, the site recognizes the image and plays a video that appears on your screen as if it’s displayed on the card itself.


    To get a better idea of how this works, check out this demonstration video.


    “Once a month, every month, going forward for years, you’ll be able to see unique, never-before-seen footage,” Mr. Fowler. Miss a month? Don’t worry. Your trigger card gives you access to the archives so you can choose what Michael Jackson short you want to see on the card.


    “We were trying to find a way to link the traditional medium of paper and books with computers and camera phones,” Fowler continues. “We originally developed this for children’s publishing, but we then said to ourselves, ‘Why does this have to stop with children?’ Adults, just as much as children, love playing with this kind of stuff.”


    But what about uses of the tech outside of publishing?


    Kraken Opus is already in talks with a major sporting institution (that’s all the specifics Fowler could give) to use Opus Reality at a large event, where the trigger would be the admission ticket. Fowler sees two possibilities here: Before the game, place your ticket in front of your webcam, log on to the event’s site and get car parking information for the stadium. After the game, use your ticket to see highlights of the game at home.


    Fowler sees endless possibilities, from corporate communications, introducing a new product, to customer care. “I don’t know about you, but the day after I fly somewhere I find the ticket stub for my seat in my pocket. Using that stub, I could go to XYZ airline’s Web site, show the ticket and get a special offer on my next flight.”


    What’s interesting about Opus Reality is that the trigger can be anything – a Coke bottle, a piece of jewelry, a key ring – and it doesn’t require any changes from the manufacture side of things. Any Coke bottle can be used; its image simply is programmed into the Opus Realty software.


    Imagine printing out a photo of your family and sending it to your parents. They then hold the photo in front of their webcam and bam, there you are singing “Happy Birthday” on their computer monitor. Kraken Opus is already in discussion with a European greeting card company to do something similar. And while the trigger stays the same, the content that is triggered can be changed at any time, so that birthday card can then become a portal for monthly video updates for your parents.


    “The original impetus when we were developing this was to try to find a way to keep the longevity of the story, whatever that story is, alive through this technology,” says Fowler. Looks like The Official Michael Jackson Opus is just the beginning of this tech tale.
