What We Do
The Magic of Science and... The Science of Magic
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke
As technology has rapidly advanced, so too has our amazement with it as the line between science and entertainment has blurred. Our mission is to explore this rich, cross-over area, and to consult in a variety of ways, from computer science and mobile application design using gamification techniques to interactive live entertainment that uses technology or magic ("digital" in a very "hands-on" sense), teaches science or simply offers a whole lot of fun! The burgeoning field of Entertainment Technology encompasses all of this and more!
