Rainforest ride

An experience design exhibit

[Show as slideshow]

In this project, we created an experience design exhibit, ‘Rainforest ride’
for a museum. The exhibit creates “an experience” of a ride in the Madagascar forest
by weaving a story with the characters from the movie Madagascar. We focused on
the experience values – immersion, situated environment, visceral, social influence when designing this exhibit.

Our experience from disability prototypes and museum visit heavily influenced our exhibit design. We researched about rainforests and recreated the gestalt in our exhibit with elements such as waterfall simulation, animal masks, vines etc., We created scripts for the animal characters-visitor interaction. We evaluated the prototype and reflected where we were successful and what improvements can be done.

Here is the video prototype of the exhibit.
