One of the main definitions behind the word Interactive is having an effect. Having an effect means creating an
experience and using our five senses in order to create it. Each open, semi protected and closed environment has
their own experiences and different effects on our senses. Molding all three into one environment and allowing the
user complete control to choose allows for an interactive environment and a different experience.
