Telling the story of the region from Medieval times to 1800s through a hybrid manual AV interactive. The visitor turns a handle connected to a ‘dolls house’ model (by Nick Runeckles), which causes miniature set-works to rotate within the house and triggers our corresponding film to that setwork, to play over the top of it. Using Pepper’s Ghost – our films were reflected onto sets, using a 24” LCD hidden screen.

AY-PE scripted, produced, filmed, edited and post-produced the characters within the films – developing and testing with a prototype model of the doll’s house and set works. Through careful development, the films were created so that the characters were in the right position and alignment both for the backdrop of set-work furniture within the house, as well as for optimum viewing angles / access of the visitor who would be peering in.

AY-PE brought to life a table top map of Hertfordshire County through 3D Augmented Reality on iPad tablets. The AR map/ iPad learning resource enables up to six visitors to explore Hertfordshire County as it looked and evolved through different parts of history eg Prehistoric, Roman time etc – discovering how humans lived in those time periods, the terrain, animals, weather and buildings.

Working with the client team and their experts we collectively developed the storyboard, timelines and script into tested prototypes, as well as defining the right approach and resources to building accurate 3D models and animations of geographic locations, living creatures and buildings/ habitats.
