2b Acting is a Digital Media and Theatre Production Company, specialising in Selective Interactive Video (SIV) and we are storytellers. Incorporated in 2005 we have delivered a range of creative productions on stage and online.
We have developed InView: A unique Selective Interactive Video channel where viewers can watch videos in interctive mode and experience new entertainment.
We are passionate about growing the creative economy with ongoing SIV productions. As creators of SIV, we remain leaders in the field and are working towards a future where all videos are selective interactive videos.
InView is proprietary and exclusive to 2b Acting. It is where our SIV productions are developed and shown. It is this technology that we exploit to create new services for new markets.
Other sites show ordinary videos. InView is the only place you can experience Selective Interactive Videos - The future of videos.
Selective Interactive Video (SIV) is an ordinary video with the facility to interface to a computer. This interface effectively converts video into a two-way device where any aspects of the video can be changed during playback. Users can have a choice of what they see and when. They can control the flow of the story or the content they see. It allows video to be supported with additional text and images that appear when needed. Selection methods can be manual or automatic. As an example, the same video can play different content depending on the date, time, or location without user selection.
SIV falls between a computer game where the viewer has full control of the games story, controlling what they see and do using a controller and an ordinary video where the viewer can make no change to what they see when they press play.
With each SIV, how much or how little control you have changes with each video. How you interact and when? What parts of the story can be changed? Will you be able to see the same thing twice? A SIV can take you on a never-ending journey. It can be like a game or more like a video. You never know until you press play - Makes discovery part of the enjoyment.
This is a specific SIV, produced using a 360 Degree video camera. The interactivity is that items looked at in the video can be made to trigger actions, such as displaying additional information.

We have developed a 360 Interactive viewer to encourage views of visual artists’ work. With the pandemic forcing people to stay away from places where art can be enjoyed it has become more difficult for artists to get displayed work seen. Our first InView Exhibition starts with the Greek Painter Stavroula Vertsoni. Enjoy her 'Mothers' collection by viewing in Interactive Mode on InView.
Note: New Exhibitions are planned. If you know a visual artist that can benefit from this exposure, then let them know about us

Future Entertainment: 2b Acting's basement in Leeds
Together we can make new things happen
New Performances The world has changed and it is becoming almost impossible for organisations that do not receive funding from the government to afford the cost of staging theatre productions. This restricts creative opportunities, especially for those not connected with funded organisations. Our work therefore focusses on reducing production cost through the use of 360 Interactive Video and Holograms to bring you new types of theatre performances from our basement. Performances for you to watch live or online. Your choice.
