Interactive Play is where the physical world of playing and the digital world of gaming come together.

The Sona Play arch (pictured at the bottom) is an interactive Play and Dance Arch with audio-guided games that are played in motion and monitored through a motion detection camera on the arch. The games, updates, settings and usage can all be controlled with the My Yalp online tool. All the games are simple to understand and encourage free play amongst the users.
The Fono DJ booth (pictured below) allows teenagers to play, mix and share music from their smartphones while 
creating a positive environment for young people to meet and socialize. Fono was designed specifically to encourage teenagers and young adults to go outside and have fun with friends.
