Experience Mechanics
The experience begins with assets zoomed out across the screen. When visitors touch any area, a ripple effect guides their attention as the view smoothly zooms to that location, creating an intuitive, exploratory interface.
Layered Information Architecture
Tapping any element triggers an animated information popup with engaging visual flourishes. Each popup features nested exploration—tap a galleon's sail and discover expandable circles showing sail materials, wind-catching mechanics, and construction techniques. This multi-layer approach prevents information overload while satisfying different curiosity levels.
Universal Appeal Design
Content follows a dual-tier approach: bold, kid-friendly headings paired with detailed factoids underneath. This ensures younger visitors stay engaged with accessible language while adults discover deeper historical insights. Short, digestible descriptions replace walls of text, creating genuine edutainment.
Ambient Visual Enhancement
A subtle twinkling overlay animates across the entire interface, transforming static screens into living, breathing experiences that naturally draw museum-goers' attention and encourage interaction.
Scope & Content Integration
This experiential design prioritizes intuitive interaction over complex game mechanics. Background music, photographs, and historical text should be provided by museum researchers
