This blog is all about interactivity, of course. And at Operand we make interactive experiences that are generally built with digital technologies of one type or another. But we’re passionate about all kinds of interactivity and we like to remember that analog interactivity can be satisfying too.
I was reminded of just that today when my [...]

Kim Possible digital adventure game at Epcot
I have to say I love this idea! An interactive, adventure, scavenger hunt game where young visitors at Epcot explorer the various pavilions within the World Showcase to complete their mission. Visitors become secret agents and use their Disney supplied GPS enabled “Kimmunicator “which is a custom programmed Motorola cell phone.

About This Blog
At Operand, we design and develop interactive experiences for a living but we are also users of them. Throughout our daily lives we search for and use every digital experience we can find that we consider “interactive”. Our work and blog are founded on our somewhat unique view of what interactivity means. In brief, we think it's bigger and more expansive than most other people seem to. We have define six levels of interactivity and blog about digital interactive experiences within art, architecture, advertising, exhibits, and elsewhere that we feel succeed at elevating interactivity.

ckBot Modular Robots
Wow! Very impressive. My mind is racing over the possibilities for this technology, small computer controlled robotic “critters” that can function independently and as a single unit. It’s amazing what good research and highly educated /creative individuals can do when they put their mind to it. Keep up the good work.
