For PPC, a division of John Mezzalingua Associates, Inc., 2ndNature was contracted to design and develop the interactive, video and digital display systems for PPC's traveling showcase—a 40' tractor-trailer mobile training facility that provides their customer's technicians and sales representatives an immersive, interactive environment for learning about the proper installation and quality controlled manufacturing of PPC's cable TV connector products.

The interactive component of the mobile training facility included a touchscreen interface to access PPC's hardline, drop and traps/filters technical information files through a highly graphical, rich user-interface (UI). 2ndNature also created 3D models and animations to demonstrate the superiority of PPC's connectors over its competitors with regards to minimizing environmental damage from such things as ice and water infiltration.

We devise intelligent solutions that solve client's problems and engage their audiences. For us, the desire to create compelling work is an inherent part of who we are. But it is only through our years of experience that we have the knowledge and ability to effectively execute that work. We are continuously driven by a passion to create work that exceeds even our own expectations. Work that is as beautiful to behold as it is to use. It's what comes naturally to us.
