we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.
I hope they didn't spend a lot of money on it. I have gone the first couple of levels, got bored because really all it's doing is using the compass and associated motion sensors, not that clever. If the point is to teach how humans perceive sound, I am sure it could have been done without all the fuss.
As has been said before in other forums, I am a believer that B&O should stick to what they do best and stop buggering around at the margins, wasting their employees time and the shareholders money on non-core activities. This doesn't have to mean not moving with the times. Integrating cutting edge technology with good design can be done.
The money would have been better spent getting the products on TV shows and new media, like they did with Friends in the 90's, so the aspirational buyer starts to ask questions about the brand, so long as the product can speak to them. As the young people say, in this regard Sensory Space and the design that didn't go into Playmaker are a FAIL. If the new "Immaculate Wireless Sound" products deliver, this would finally put B&O where B&W, Sonos etc. have similarly been for some years now. I just hope they get all the elements right to keep the magic present.
