Interactive State House

Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Interactive State House

Winner: 2002 Massachusetts Interactive Media Council Award for Best Government Site

Moving from:
The State House offers a peak into the history of Massachusetts' politics, culture, art and much more. But the information about the building, and the many artifacts in it, is difficult to find even if you visit in person.

Moving to:
Magic Hour Communications teamed with Mass Interaction and school children around the state to create an online "interactive State House" with information on the artifacts (paintings, statues, etc), governors, and famous events, including rich media such as QTVR panoramas of key rooms and interactive timelines of major events. The site rigorously conforms to accessibility standards so people using "site reading" software can use it, too.

Client feedback:
"It was great working with Magic Hour. Not only did you create an attractive site that's easy to use and accessible, but you made valuable contributions to the site's content, as well."
