DDA offers a multidisciplinary, holistic approach that finds new ways of combining a vast array of skills and technologies into totally new forms of communication that will allow you to engage audiences and individual users on a deeper level than was ever possible before. Located just outside Philadelphia in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, DDA has had a long history of firsts in its industry. In 1995,
DDA became the first digital photography studio in Pennsylvania. By 1996, it had risen to become one of the very first companies in the U.S. specializing in Search Engine Optimization to drive traffic to clients’ websites. The same year DDA founded one of the first animation studios in the state, and soon would become one of the first professional web developers with an in-house video studio. DDA’s technological growth continues and has accelerated in recent years through the exploration of virtual and augmented reality environments, virtual learning environments, experiential advertising, meeting and conferencing app development, and the combination of multiple integrated multimedia capabilities represented in its Synchronized Media™ development. DDA continues to innovate with the integration of 2D animation, live motion video, and dynamic web and mobile design known as Onlivemation™ and the new standard of interactive information delivery known as SmartSite™ technology. DDA’s SmartSite technology synchronizes images, text, and video and gives the user control over how they view the information, allowing each user to tailor their web experience to their own unique learning style. DDA’s record of technological innovation and achievement was affirmed when Medical Design News asked the company’s president David Katz to write an article explaining and advocating Virtual Medical Simulations™. Combining live action video, 3D animation, scriptwriting, programming, and web/mobile design and programming, The Xper Guide Virtual Medical Simulation™ exemplify the best of what DDA has to offer: innovative designs, powerful user experiences, and expertise in production. One VMS™ iPad App, designed for Philips Healthcare, was awarded a Tabby Award as the Best Healthcare iPad App of 2012.
