Optional Value Add: Trade map rendered in 3D instead of a flat image.
Success Metrics:
Seamless navigation through multilingual content screens (English and Filipino, text and audio), ensuring accessibility and user engagement.
Visually rich interface with custom-designed screens, animations, and styling consistent with exhibition panels.
Interactive map with smooth pan/zoom gestures and tappable routes revealing artifacts and narrative content.
Efficient development through reuse of an existing content engine, supporting scalability and faster delivery.
Enhanced storytelling using overlay arrows, layered “Show More” content for deeper exploration, and optional 3D visuals.

Visual Aids

The 3D map image below is for illustration purposes only.
Below is an example of a 3D map. Note that we’ll need coastline data from MDG for the map to be accurate to the time period being represented. If we want the map to have height topology to portray mountains at the time accurately, we’ll need geographic data as well.
