Often interpretation requires interaction to allow visitors to become fully immersed and engaged with a subject, its history, and the personalities behind the story. 

Interactivity can take several forms, from ‘hands on’ puzzles and costume wearing, to touchscreen interfaces, allowing for in depth information to be explored. We are adept at providing the necessary skills and services to deliver a wide variety of interactive solutions.

We are able to carry out full design, production and commissioning of software necessary in order to create full functioning interactive touchscreens. Whether these take the form of wall mounted screens, table level or inbuilt units we have successfully completed many exhibits over the years. We also continue to provide ongoing support to clients to ensure smooth working of software and advise on any future enhancements.

Our capabilities include audio visual concept development, storyboarding, script writing, filming, audio recording, studio editing, animation, provision of hardware and installation. We have created a range of programmes to be used with interpretation projects from ‘talking heads, soundscapes and videos to large format projected animations.

Sometimes the best solution to enable a grasp of an interpretive concept is a simple ‘hands on’ interactive. This might take the form of a touch hole under a flap, a simple jigsaw, rolling cubes or even just putting a hat on and looking in a mirror. Whatever the requirement, we know how important it is to make sure the exhibit is robust, very easy to maintain and does not require specialists to repair.

An important consideration for the young and to make exhibits accessible to all. Sometimes this can be as straight forward as altering surface finishes or providing objects to freely handle. Equally, various aromas can be introduced which can often be beneficial in setting the scene. These sorts of solutions are cost effective to produce but can have significant impact when telling a story.
