The new institutional website of the national nuclear waste management spanish company (ENRESA) was launched last June. This new portal aims to bring the the activities of ENRESA closer to the people and it is a clear commitment for openness on Internet.
The development, which included an information gathering step done in collaboration with Sigma-2 and several user-testing series, is at the cutting edge of User Centered Design in Spain. The design process led VIRATI to develop unique solutions, like multimedia repositories, site-wide search with semantic features or smart 404 pages.
The offer to the user also includes videostreaming, documentation with browsable versions, interactive applications, RSS feeds, linking with 2.0 services and social networks, content tagging and a multimedia weblog, all of this on a crossbrowser, web standards based, platform.

Virati has developed the two interactive promotional games featured at the stand of the Telefónica team in the Volvo Ocean Race in Alicante (Spain).
Wind Racers: This game is played in a dark room. Images, generated by a simulator, are projected on a big screen.
The participant has to steer the boat using an exact copy of a steering wheel. The projected images and the audio are automatically combined with special effects of wind, rain, fog, sunshine and flashes of lightning. These special effects are generated by systems such as water sprays, wind machines, smoke machines, spot lights and stroboscope flashes.
Sail Master: The other game features two players who compete to be the fastest at cranking the winch which, again, are exact copies of the mechanical winches of the boat, installed at the stand.
The games are available for the general public from September 19th at the base of the Telefónica team in the port of Alicante, Spain, the starting point of the Volvo Ocean Race 2008.
