Museum Tour
This 360-degree experience is a prototype developed as part
of an academic assignment. The project is built based on an
exhibition named "Breaking the Ice",
created in partnership with the Antarctic Heritage Trust.
Breaking the Ice tells the story of Carsten Borchgrevink’s Southern Cross expedition through
objects the explorers left behind in the two huts they built at Cape Adare.
The artefacts include scientific equipment, clothing and sledging supplies.
The tour experience is designed with two distinct modes: "Explorer" and "Guided." In the "Explorer" mode, users have the freedom to navigate the exhibition without a set direction and can interact with 3D artifacts. On the other hand, the "Guided" mode offers a specific pathway and features a virtual tour guide who provides detailed information about the history of the artifacts.
Working on this project provided me with valuable insights into the potential of technology in achieving remarkable results. The use of 360-degree interactions opens up numerous applications and possibilities. The prototype was developed for PC platforms using the Unity3D engine and the Insta360 camera, enabling us to create an immersive and captivating experience.
