Optay Studios helped develop a series of e-learning products for Aurora Studios. Each product is an interactive simulation designed to give the learner a more immersive experience than they would get from a textbook or lecture. The products make extensive use of video and audio and are SCORM compliant for integration with common LMS platforms.

The Seattle Go Center needed to update its aging site. The old site was not particularly attractive and could not be updated without the help of the admin. They hired Susan Wells to create a new design incorporating their logo. Optay Studios took that design and made a responsive WordPress template based on it. The new site can easily be edited directly by the Go Center staff.

Creative Narrations worked with the Somerville Community Corporation and the Somerville Arts Council to create a 5′ by 6′ hand-drawn map of the East Somerville community. This map includes landmarks, survey data, photographs, and audio recordings. Optay Studios was hired to create an interactive, online version of this map.
The online version of the map was built with Flash. It features an interactive legend that allows users to show and hide items on the map. It also contains all of the information in the original hand-made map including audio clips, photographs, survey data, and landmarks. The website containing the map was also designed and built by Optay Studios. The project is still accessible in the SCC’s archives, but the map content has been removed.
