Istanbul Aquarium

This month saw the completion of two bespoke interactives for Istanbul Akvaryum. Working with ay-pe, I’ve developed two beautiful interactives for this aquarium in Turkey.

Holoshark is a dual screen, high definition and dual language touch screen interactive that allows visitors to peel away the layers of a shark. A touch screen allows rotation and examination of the computer generated shark through each of the layers: senses, skeleton, internal organs, muscles and skin. A second screen displays a video of the computer generated shark layer swimming through the sea.

Global Warming, the second interactive, is also high definition and dual language. This interactive shows how sea levels might change globally or locally around Turkey, and is projected onto a round table. The sea level can be raised and lowered by turning a physical wheel; the language and world view can be changed by pressing physical buttons.
