A “How to” Guide to using the D3O App: Tap the D3O App icon on the home screen
The D3O splash screen appears. This screensaver allows the App to load.
“Mould” screen shows. “How D3O works” text box appears describing our technology. Tap the tick to remove.
“How to interact” text box appears describing how to use the interactive element of the App. Tap the tick to remove.
Instructions of how to interact with the interactive element are available at all times in the top right corner. Tap the arrow to “hide� the slide bar.
Mould the ball of goo into any shape you like using the multi-touch feature. Note: The goo also responds to an in-built accelerometer – tilt the device and the goo will move.
Double-tap the goo to simulate an impact. The goo holds its shape, the molecules visibly locking together to absorb the impact before relaxing.
Shake the device to simulate a vibration. The goo again freezes in place, the molecules visibly locking together to lessen the vibration before relaxing.
Tapping the “Bounce” button changes the interactive element to a screen that highlights the energy return properties of D3O.
Flick the goo around the screen and watch it bounce off surfaces.
Watch shock-waves emanate at point of impact, the molecules visibly locking and relaxing with each bounce.
As with the “mould” screen, instructions are always available in the top right corner and the user can simulate impacts or vibrations.
Tap the “Materials� tab at the bottom of the screen. This opens a screen focused on our three grades of material, ST, XT and SHOCK+
Tap a material logo and find graphical data on the right hand side, showing the performance of D3O materials vs. standard foams. Note: Thickness is shown beneath the x-axis, transmitted force above.
Each grade of material has unique material property data, shown in the table at the bottom of the screen. Note: Scroll down within this table for more information.
Tap through the grades of material for information specific to each.
Tap the “Components� tab at the bottom of the screen. This opens a screen focused on our component ranges.
All standard component ranges are shown, with a mannequin on the right to highlight protected areas. Note: Mannequin is rotatable to show areas of protection from all angles.
Tap the drop down menu to reveal each market.
Tap a market to highlight component ranges deemed applicable.
Tap on highlighted component range. Protected areas are highlighted as orange dots.
There are then two ways to access the product information. The first is to tap the “Show product info” drop down button, highlighted above the mannequin.
The second way to access the product information is to tap one of the orange dots.
Choosing to “view datasheet” brings up the standard product data sheet for that component range. There is an option to download the data sheet onto the device in the top right corner.
Tap the “Our Partners� tab at the bottom of the screen. This opens a screen focused on our key partner brands.
Partners are split by market. Tap the motorcycle button to view motorcycle partners...
The sports button to view sports partners...
And the electronics button to view our exclusive partner and other secondary partners and distributors.
Tap the “About Us” tab at the bottom of the screen. This opens a screen focused on us.
The “talk to us” button allows users to contact us, either through social channels or via an enquiry form . Note: This form goes through to sales@d3olab.com
The “D3O TV” button shows our corporate video locally, meaning it can be played without internet access.
This video can be watched full screen, both landscape and portrait.
The other video thumbnails link through to our vimeo page. If tapped, these videos will warn the user that they are leaving the app in order to play the video via an active internet connection.
Finally, the “Trust Us� button shows our many strategic partners and how we work with them to ensure all our products and services are optimised.
