Roto has a wonderful process to get the experience your museum desires. Through testing and prototyping, we iterated several paths of interaction for many of our components, in New KidsTown, and our guests have had nothing but rave reviews for the experience. Best part, they continue to support and iterate after opening, while we have continued to learn new guest behavior.
