(OVERVIEW)

Technology today isn’t only about solving problems; it’s about creating connections that last. At VTF, our mission goes beyond building tools; we design experiences that captivate, inspire, and elevate human engagement.

That’s the driving force behind solutions like Sketch to Life. By turning creativity into interactivity, we transform ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences, helping brands and organisers maximise participation, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression at any event.

Because true impact isn’t measured by attendance, but by how deeply people engage.

Let’s dive through, shall we?

STEM FEST 2025

At STEM Festival 2025, we introduced Sketch to Life to thousands of students and educators in a simple, intuitive sequence that captured everyone’s attention.

First, children coloured butterfly drawings on paper. Next, they scanned their artwork at the station, and within seconds, the same design was rendered and animated to flutter across the large LED screen in real time.

Seeing their colours, shapes, and strokes come to life produced immediate excitement, but the impact went deeper than delight: that three-step flow (colour → scan → animate) turned passive observation into active participation, boosted creative confidence, and provided an approachable introduction to digital literacy and immersive tech.

We also brought Sketch to Life beyond the education space, adapting it for the Nanowhite Seri Awakens Glowdate event, an intimate gathering of KOLs to experience Nanowhite’s products. Through this activity, guests coloured and scanned their own creations, which then came alive on screen, adding a playful yet meaningful layer of interaction to the session.

By weaving technology into the brand experience, Nanowhite was able to foster closer connections with its KOL community. Sketch to Life elevated the engagement from a typical product showcase to an immersive moment, where creativity, fun, and brand storytelling came together seamlessly.

And it doesn’t stop with butterflies. With Sketch to Life, kids can colour fish designs, scan them, and watch their creations swim across the big LED screen in real time.

We’ve done this before at Aquafair 2023, where it was a hit with young visitors. This interactive drawing activity for kids turns ordinary colouring into a digital animation experience, blending creativity with immersive technology. By transforming paper artwork into a fun, engaging, and interactive display, it captivates audiences and creates memorable moments for any event.

Sketch to Life is more than just a fun activity; it’s a powerful example of how immersive technology can elevate human engagement and create interactive experiences across different settings, from education to brand activations. While we’ve showcased butterflies and fish, the possibilities are endless; we can bring any design or concept to life based on your preference.

At VTF, we believe the future of event activations lies in blending imagination with innovation, because when people are truly engaged, the impact lasts far beyond the event itself.

We’re always open to chat about how Sketch to Life can make your next event unforgettable.
