Interactive Media Demystified

Endless Possibilities to Ignite the Imagination

ZEBRADOG’s Media Lab is an experienced team of digital designers, developers, and creative technologists that weave immersive stories with circuits and pixels to exceed the expectations of what’s possible. Our ground-breaking work in place-based media extends behind the scenes, providing our clients with a content management system that ensures easy content maintenance for years to come.

Media As the Ultimate Design Material

Advances in technology, sensors, size, and resolution enable ZEBRADOG’s experiential designers to embrace media as a dynamic architectural material. We derive great joy in harnessing the power of immersive environments to create transformative experiences for golfers, scientists, beer lovers, sports fans, donors, genealogists, and more.

Where do I start? We start with a creative idea and a goal of how we want the experience to feel. Then we take an agnostic approach to the technology to yield the best experiential outcome.

What is the process? Experience design leverages various technologies including software, hardware, audio-visual (AV) equipment, and environmental systems working in harmony with the architectural environment. Our process mirrors the architectural process to orchestrate all the different disciplines involved and ensure clear communication, documentation, and installation.

How do I manage and maintain? We prioritize the experience of ownership to make the transition seamless. We train our client partners on how to use and maintain the system for optimal content creation and engaging end-user interaction. Service contracts are also available for white glove care and keeping.

We particularly appreciated the depth of ZEBRADOG’s engagement

The willingness to not just say, 'here is what we’ve done for other people, make it work in your space' but rather, 'what would you like to do, how can we investigate your content and what do you perceive as being relevant to your audiences?' so that they could build out a system that’s easy for us to maintain and that creates a very aesthetically pleasing, informative experience for the people who actually come to the space.

Bridging UX and the Built Environment

Blaine Brownell talks user experience design in architecture. Today, firms operating at the intersection of computation and architecture are expanding the definition of UX to include physical environments, which is a welcome development for a term that invites broad interpretations.
