The experience

The Air and Space work is less a single tour than a growing digital museum: gallery-scale captures, custom navigation, object stories, and accessible paths that make a complex collection feel coherent online.

01 / Challenge

Make the physical place make sense online.

Translate a vast physical museum—dense with aircraft, artifacts, media, and layered interpretation—without flattening it into a list of rooms.

02 / Response

Design the visit, not just the interface.

Build a shared interaction system that can flex across distinct galleries while preserving their individual identities. Clear maps, scene-to-scene orientation, featured objects, and media hotspots keep the visitor moving with purpose.

03 / Result

Give every visitor a way into the story.

An extensible platform for immersive learning that lets visitors browse freely, follow a story, or move directly to the objects and galleries that matter to them.
