InteractStyles Explained

InteractStyles are the experience grammar of Code2Motion: the labels that tell Explonaunts how a c2merse comes alive in the PlayRoom.

โœฆ Published May 2026

When you browse the PlayRoom, every c2merse carries a small branded promise: an InteractStyle badge such as Audio-Reactive or Gyro-Reactive. These are not just tags. They are part of how Code2Motion teaches people to read an experience.

An InteractStyle tells both the audience and the platform how a c2merse wants to be used. It frames expectation, highlights the inputs involved, and helps the PlayRoom feel like a coherent product language instead of a random collection of experiments.

01 Device-first styles

๐Ÿ“ฑ
Mobile-First
Designed for phones. Optimised for vertical screens, touch input, and smaller viewports. The experience is built around how you hold a phone.
Hold your phone and tap. Watch what follows your finger.
๐Ÿ–ฅ
Desktop-First
Built for big screens and cursor precision. Mouse movements often drive the experience โ€” hover, click, drag. Takes full advantage of desktop resolution.
Move your cursor slowly across a dark canvas.
๐Ÿ“บ
TV-First
Made for large-screen ambient display. Uses remote or phone as a secondary controller. Great for living rooms or exhibition spaces.
Cast to your TV. Use your phone as a wand.

02 Sensor-reactive styles

These are where things get interesting. The c2merse uses real-world data from your device's sensors:

๐ŸŽต
Audio-Reactive
The c2merse listens to your microphone (or device audio) and responds in real time to frequency, amplitude, and rhythm. Visuals pulse, bloom, and shift with sound.
Play music from your phone while inside the c2merse.
๐Ÿ’ƒ
Gyro-Reactive
Your phone's gyroscope drives the experience. Tilt, rotate, spin โ€” the art follows your motion. Like controlling a world with your wrist.
Hold your phone flat and slowly tilt it toward you.
๐Ÿ’ก
Light-Reactive
Uses your device camera to detect ambient light levels. Walk into shadow and the c2merse darkens. Step into sunlight and it blooms.
Cover your camera with your hand. Watch the c2merse respond.
๐Ÿ—บ
GPS-Reactive
Your location shapes the experience. The same c2merse will feel different depending on where in the world you are. Some are built around specific coordinates.
Open a GPS c2merse outdoors. Try it in a different city.
โœ‹
Touch-Screen-First
Multi-touch interactions. Pinch, spread, swipe, two-finger drag. Built for tablets and touchscreen displays as much as phones.
Try using two fingers at once โ€” the experience often has hidden interactions.

๐Ÿ”ฎ Multi-style c2merses: A single c2merse can have more than one InteractStyle. A Comoder might build one that's both Audio-Reactive AND Gyro-Reactive โ€” the music shapes the colours, and tilting the phone shifts the gravity. The combinations are endless.
