About This Blog
At Operand, we design and develop interactive experiences for a living. We have a somewhat unique view of what interactivity means. In brief, we think it's bigger and more expansive than most other people seem to. We define six levels of interactivity and blog about art, architecture, advertising, exhibits, and other innovations that elevate interactivity.

Detroit Institute of Art- Art of Dining Exhibition
This large format Immersive digital experience was created by Pentagram for the DIA. “Visitors to the museum’s decorative arts gallery sit at a table onto which is projected an aristocratic dinner service. Visitors feel like they are participating in the dinner as three courses of historically accurate food are served using porcelain and silver on display within the gallery itself. The installation includes a sound recording of native French speakers that adds an air of authenticity to the experience.”
I applaud the dining table form factor which really transports the visitor into the right frame of mind. This allows them to feel integrated into the experience and more engaged. Immersive experiences subtly alter state of mind resulting in a “suspension of disbelief” in participants so they can believe they are setting at a dining room table during a eighteenth-century French meal. I’d love to see an interactive version of this experience where visitors can actively participate in setting the table, requesting courses and eating food.
