Immersive, Responsive Storytelling in Public Space
Full-canvas motion graphics draw visitors in, while overhead depth cameras detect presence and trigger a seamless transition into an interactive touchscreen experience. Visitors can explore 175 historical events and destinations through archival imagery, maps, and text—turning passive viewing into active discovery.
A Visual System Inspired by New Orleans
The design system is built from five elements—Photography, Type, Color, Texture, and Objects—crafted to feel as vibrant as the city itself. Drawing from New Orleans’ arts, culture, and architecture, the system balances historical depth with contemporary motion and interaction.
Scalable Performance for High-Resolution Interactive Media
Custom software synchronizes four GPUs to drive the wall at 42× 1080p while maintaining interactive frame rates. A built-in content management tool enables the organization to continuously update events and destinations as the city’s story evolves.
