Creating content for touch tables Junction Media with Clusta Paul Davies, Producer @junctionmedia www.junctionmedia.co.uk

 Award winning television production for ‘learners’ since 1997  BAFTA nomination for children’s interactive drama  Royal Television Society award winner for Science programmes  2008 digital transformation Background

 New technologies overcome old frustrations  Interactive user journey is fundamentally different from a linear user journey  Collaboration opens up new opportunities  Collaboration promotes knowledge transfer between niche areas of expertise. Creating for digital technologies

 Produce for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics: HE-STEM  Use in heritage environments: The National Space Centre, Leicester  Innovative and interactive experience exploring the journey through school, university to STEM careers  Develop wider participation. The Challenge

 20 STEM ambassadors  Natural rather than scripted performance  Content to work in a linear journey for each ambassador and across the ambassadors. The problem…

 The first few seconds get ‘lost’  The clarity of sound is paramount  Close up shots work best  Maximum length of clip around 30 seconds to ensure dwell Designing the clips

 Interviewing needs to be precise: same questions, same information  Editing is more exacting  Shot size needs to be considered hard to hear if you can’t see  400 clips take more time to manage than 100 minutes of straightforward television. Producing the clips

 Easy to understand ‘atoms’ of information  Present in an exciting way  Background questions to encourage playful interaction  Drag information around the surface to share  Can continue away from the table. Developing the user experience

The Launch

 First time we had tens of hands on the table  User experience adjusted in response to footage from launch  Sound remains an issue; engineering volume v perceived volume Lessons from launch
