The Vancouver Maritime Museum (VMM) presented the CDM team with the challenge to create 2 digital artifacts for their upcoming exhibition. Our team, comprising 8 individuals from different backgrounds, was presented with the challenge to scope the extent of the projects and ensure the delivery of one or both in a 13 week period.
After careful consideration, the team decided to build both projects:
The Wheelhouse Experience, an interactivere creation of navigating through the arctic, would be the main delivery for the VMM. To ensure timely delivery, the project would be created with a mixture of CGI and live photography.
The team's 2nd delivery is a Touchscreen Experience, aimed at museum users who were physically unable to board the St. Roch.
