Shedd Aquarium Wonder of Water | Immersive Periscope Experience

Описание: Ever wondered what it’s like inside an aquarium tank? Now you can explore it like never before. 🐠🐙🐟

Shedd Aquarium asked us to solve a challenge that had stumped other agencies: create a fully immersive, inclusive, and intuitive way for visitors to explore their iconic freshwater and saltwater tanks from a brand-new perspective. Our solution? A custom-designed periscope system that brings guests face to face with the Wonder of Water ... in real time.

🔧 What We Created:
🔹 Dual interactive periscopes with live pan-tilt-zoom control
🔹 8K underwater camera feeds with real-time augmented reality overlays
🔹 Inclusive design with adjustable viewfinders for all ages and abilities
🔹 Bronze-cast housings that blend seamlessly into Shedd’s historic rotunda
🔹 Interactive hotspots for educational storytelling and deeper engagement

⚙️ How We Did It:
🔸 Parallel-track design and prototyping for speed and precision
🔸 Ergonomic, accessibility-tested interfaces built for universal use
🔸 Live video system connected via fiber to a hidden control room
🔸 Full in-house services, from 3D printing to software development
🔸 Installed and calibrated on site with zero disruption to the aquarium

💡 Imagine this used for:
🏛 Museums seeking immersive, accessible exhibits
🔬 Science centers exploring live ecosystems
🎓 Educational spaces blending tech and storytelling

This was more than a tech installation. It was spatial storytelling, accessibility innovation, and marine science brought together in one unforgettable experience.
