1 Good afternoon guys, for this project I decided to work
with the phar lap display, turning it into a very atmospheric experience and
use interactive technology to highlight the key points of phar laps unique and
dramatic history
2 Users will notice and be drawn in by the live feed crowd
featured at the rear of exhibit, once inside…
3She notices the crunch of synthetic dirt and grass beneath
her feet and listens to sound of the cheering crowd and feels the floor rumble
as the horses race past on the looped audio track.
4 She then notices the hologram crowd standing before her
and feels as though is standing in the midst of the races back in the 1930’s. She
looks on to see the skeleton of phar lap standing at the front of the
exhibition, although may not yet fully understand its significance.
5 By placing her hand on the touch pad she activates the
heads up display
6 from here she can watch short movie montages based on
pharlaps extraordinary racing career, his status as an underdog or the
suspicion around his early death.
7 The selected option overlays the skeleton to complete the
atmospheric experience.
8 After the montage has finished the user is left once again
looking upon pharlap with a better understanding of his significance as a
racehorse from New Zealand.
9 Initially I explored the peppers ghost technique to
accomplish my holographic crowd but getting it to work caused spatial issues, severely
cutting off the space where users will flow through the exhibition.
10 And once you start considering a range of different user
groups it was simply impractical
11 my solution - samsungs OLED display technology. Able to be
fully colour transparent
12 and works out spatiattly similar to a regular tv moniter.
13 that’s all from me, thanks guys.
