Entertaining site accompanying the BBC kids show ‘Big & Small’ – designed for children aged 3-6 and their parents. The site is a playground, with little interactive games and experiences such as hand painting, music, videos and so on. But what makes this so remarkable is the depth and polish of the site itself. Set within a detailed 3d environment you explore the setting via the interactive experiences, with your mouse affecting your view. But it isn’t just the way it looks, the interactive sections are really a lot of fun, each of them highly polished, with great animations and sound fx – it’s been a while since i’ve interacted with a site like this for so long! For example there is a small game where you have to try and brush the teeth of one of the characters and the toothpaste spreads all over the 3d items in the bathroom, the sink, the mirror etc. Another where one of the characters jumps on the bed and the bed surface reacts to his movement. The little touches all add up to make a fantastic website with incredible use of Papervision – really detailed environments, highly interactive, and really well designed.
