Sound Sculpture
Audio headphones brand Sennheiser releases an impressive interactive and participatory website. User experience is enhanced through the use of WebGL. Two modes allow for an enjoyable experience, depending on the abilities of the device used. You can find the interview of the agency responsible for the project in our article 'Sennheiser, Reshaping Excellence Project '.

A Symphonic Odyssey
The Orchestre de Paris offers users the chance to become digital maestros and take part in a musical piece. By moving their cursor as the piece is played, users give life to the music, and various shapes gracefully flow on their screen. In addition, the site features a screen capture function, allowing users to either submit highlights of their experience, or share them on social networks.

"Let Him who is without sin …"
The Guardian created an original and rather unusual project in which users are urged to transcend their reader status and contribute to the website. This contribution can take the form of real time data that catches the users’ attention and encourages them to read the available articles. The site thematically revolves around our online behavior in relation to the seven deadly sins.

Minimalistic WebGL
Bose set up a classy and trendy website showcasing their latest products, built with Pixi.js, an engine which uses WebGL for high-fluidity 2D renderings. It would have been great to be able to examine headphones from every angle but unfortunately they are not rendered in 3D; the experience is one step away from perfection.
