The company is dedicated to the development of entertainment attractions and edutainment setups including interactivity between user and media or tangible content. Alterface Projects systems are installed into museums, science centers and more importantly amusement parks.

Alterface Projects is the owner and designer of the Salto software engine which uses multiple sensors and actuators, to enable the implementation of multiple systems, from large reactive screens to interactive theaters for groups, such as Desperados.

In 2020, the company announced key strategic changes to its management structure. Founder Benoit Cornet will move into the role of President, while Stephane Battaille will move from COO to CEO.[1][2]

Notable attractions and projects
gollark: Yes, that's right. Promises are a monoid in the category of endofunctors.
gollark: Promises are very nice because MONAD.
gollark: Quite a lot of browser APIs are weirdly inconsistent, because they only came up with the whole "asynchronous" thing after a lot had already been done, and then a while after that the idea of promises, but they're still sticking with events a lot for some reason.
gollark: JS is what you get if you put 100 language designers in a room, remove the language designers and add a bunch of monkeys with typewriters and DVORAK keyboards, and then bring the actual language designers back but force them to stick with what the monkeys wrote and only make small changes and tack on extra features after the fact, and also the language designers don't agree with each other most of the time.
gollark: Using TS means many of the errors JS wouldn't really catch except at runtime are much easier to deal with.
