Many of the Sovrenti Team had the great fun of working on the Texans for Huckabee Campaign, including developing the website and a number of animations and videos. Most notably we integrated our new 3D game engine technology to create a virtual "Huckabee Town" where visitors could navigate in an immersive environment and learn more about Mike and his campaign.
“… a really cool site—a great combination of old Texas and new technology—“Hope makes a comeback,” indeed!
As for the virtual Huckabee Town square, you can see the future of effective campaigning right there—a clean and family-friendly version of Second Life.
Other candidates, and parties, are having the same idea, of course, but what makes Huckabee Town so cool is that it’s old and new at the same time. It’s like Walt Disney’s vision of Disneyland a half century ago—use the latest technology to recapture the past. So the experience is stimulating and reassuring at the same time.
