FAQ

FAQ

What is Interactive Design in Location-Based Entertainment?

Interactive design in location-based entertainment is the practice of designing and developing user-oriented experiences for guests in your project, often through digital means (touchscreens, phone or tablet interaction, guest movement detection, etc). Interactivity ranges from products and systems to full environments, depending on the design and goals of an experience. While often tied to digital experiences, interactive design isn’t limited to the digital space, as interactivity in physical spaces has also proven to elevate the immersion of a guest or brand experience.  

What is Computer Aided Design?

Computer Aided Design, or CAD, utilizes computers during the design process to analyze, streamline, create, and modify designs. CAD software offers 3D design modelling, allowing for an in-depth, detailed, and accurate drawing of an environment. It improves the efficiency of designers, allowing them to create more complex and detailed drawing of a space more easily. 

What technical design services does Thinkwell offer?

Thinkwell offers technical, lighting, and audio design services. Our technical capabilities span from concept to full production, installation, and maintenance of customized interactive applications and technologies. Even in the earliest stages of design, we are able to identify opportunities and rapidly prototype applicable solutions.

What is Gamification?

Gamification is the process of applying game-design principles to other forms of media or design. Its utilization can increase user interactivity, engaging guests in experiences that would otherwise be passive. Gamification often includes incentivizing aspects such as leaderboards or achievements to motivate guests to enjoy the experience time and time again, potentially even casually competing against one another.
