For the Smart Living Challenge Zone at the Two Oceans Aquarium we used a combination of creative exhibit design techniques and technologies – including 3D projection and digital touch interfaces as well as hands-on 3D exhibit design - to engage visitors and aid learning.
At the Biodiversity 3D exhibit, visitors make choices and pull up tabs to affect a digital ecosystem thus showing them how their actions (such as illegal dumping or planting indigenous species) have positive and negative impacts on the environment.
Visitors scanning barcodes at the Waste Wall installation – a 3D exhibit designed to resemble ordinary shop shelves – become aware of how their shopping choices could contribute to the production of waste and the filling of landfill sites.
