We applied a modular approach to create an interactive video covering key areas including Driving & Parking, Visitor Passes, Emergency Alarms & Muster Points, Fire Alarms and Hazard Assessment. Each module combined 2D character-led animation, infographics and short interactive moments where users could pause and select responses directly within the video. While the majority of the video is in 2D, we also included 3D animation to showcase how the new campus actually looked in real life for parts of the video.

This interactive video format gave the overall output an engaging visual appeal and allowed a large amount of information to be communicated efficiently. At the end of each module, users entered a test zone with eight interactive questions designed to assess how much information had been retained.

What is meant by interactive video? Interactive video is a form of digital content that allows viewers to engage directly with what they see on screen. Instead of passively watching like you would in a regular training video, users can click, pause and select answers or pathways within the video itself. In this project for BHP, the interactive video presented 2D animated scenarios where viewers could make choices and answer questions in real time, creating a more hands-on and memorable learning experience.

What are the benefits of interactive video? Interactive video makes learning more engaging and effective by combining visual storytelling with active participation. It helps improve knowledge retention, ensures users remain attentive throughout the session and provides measurable feedback on understanding through built-in quizzes or choices.

For training content, interactive video is especially valuable because it allows learners to apply information as they go, bridging the gap between watching and doing.
