    The Cave

    A 270° high resolution reconstruction of the interiors of the Titanic are presented as an 8 minute flythrough from machine rooms up to the Navigation deck. The 3-walled rear projected screening area creates a virtual ‘Cave’; a three point perspective view that tricks the human eye into believing its peripheral vision is filled with the scene. All the rooms were modelled from original plans and rudimentary 3D models, detailed, coloured and lit from original photographs, pattern books and samples and then exported as a series of enormous single film frames.

  • Popular Culture Interactive touchtable for use by 5 or more visitors. The table is linked to the large video screen in front of it presenting images, clips and sound from the multitude of appearances of the Titanic story in mass media. As a particular theme, such as song or film appears a wave of graphic assets wash down the table letting users select and examine at will, before the next wave of media fragments replaces them.

  • We developed a further 23 interactive touchscreens across the gallery, ranging from dynamic visualisations of the passenger database, 3D models of the ship assembly, animated information graphics on supplies to Morse code games.

    Touchscreens

  • Detail Area Interactives A suite of six interactive touchscreens explaining the shipbuilding process using CGI models and an interactive timeline. The exhibits are encountered immediately after the Shipbuilding ride, one of the centrepiece experiences of the Museum. This gives visitors an opportunity to re-examine in detail what they have just seen - or for visitors physically unable to join the ride to still get access to the key part of the shipbuilding story.
