Greetings!
I hope this message finds you well. The time for this immersive interactive medium seems to have finally come - 2008 marks the ten year anniversary of the first public showing of Boundary Functions, my first immersive interactive artwork which became a popular science exhibit. It has been installed over fourty times worldwide since then. Interest in immersive media has now become broad, with people realizing that there's nothing directly comperable to this social, emotional and physical interactive medium. With continued enthusiastic dedication to our museum markets, Snibbe Interactive is now moving into entertainment and branding markets this year. We have a number of exciting projects in progress which you will be hearing about soon. Meanwhile, I'm please to share with you a new interactive exhibit from last year that we have recently posted to our website and to introduce you to our new product ShadowShare™ that connects immersive experiences to the web. |
SOCIAL LIGHT AT THE LONDON SCIENCE MUSEUM |
|

At the end of 2007, Snibbe Interactive installed Social Light in the London Science Museum's newly renovated Launchpad galleries. Reports from the museum indicate that over a million people have already experienced the exhibit.
London Science Museum asked us to create an imaginative and inspiring interactive exhibit on the theme of light. Snibbe created Social Light, which uses people's bodies to interact with simulated beams of light as a metaphor for human communication. Social Light proceeds in three episodes - in the first people's bodies act as refracting prisms; in the second their bodies split light into rainbows; and in the third episode one viewer acts like a mirror, reflecting segments of a rainbow, which other visitors absorb, filling their silhouette with color. If you're in London, please visit Launchpad's wonderful new galleries.
 Social Light ShadowShare™ Kiosk
Adjacent to the Social Light immersive exhibit, Snibbe Interactive has installed for the first time a ShadowShare™ Web Kiosk. When visitors approach this touchscreen kiosk, they see a matrix of videos created by the exhibit featuring their own shadow moving within the exhibit. Each visitor can find their own interaction with Social Light or one of their friend's. They then email this video to a friend or to themselves, creating a chain of social sharing in addition to marketing for the museum. ShadowShare™ is a comprehensive service we are rolling out with continuously updated features, including an online community and interaction with other Web 2.0 communities such as YouTube and Facebook. Watch our website for more news about this exciting product that links these two new, unique forms of social interaction - web communities and immersive exhibits.
