DORA THE EXPLORER (Nickelodeon)
Kyra Reppen, Christine Ricci, Bob Crawford

Primary Platform: Set-Top Box for Satellite

Production Goal: This prototype re-imagines DORA THE EXPLORER, the #1 preschool show on commercial television, for a set-top box where children really can actively participate and play along with the show using simple actions on their TV remote. A rollicking "Scavenger Hunt Game" presents a scroll of objects that appear in the show for kids to spot and collect. At the end of the show, the fun continues with an on-demand menu of "Sing-Along with Dora" titles.

For this prototype, Ensequence is providing both suites of tools: on-Q™ Create authoring and on-Q™ Air broadcasting. The application runs on OpenTV middleware for the Echostar platform.
