Multi-touch Map of Alberta
In 2009, 7th Floor Media contracted me to design a map of Alberta which would be part of an interactivity they were developing (in partnership with Helsinki's Multi Touch Oy) for Calgary's Bow Habitat Station. The resulting map is a colorful design that compliments the surrounding exhibit space.
The map is projected from the ceiling onto a large plexiglas surface which is cut into the shape of the province. With the touch and movement of their fingers, and much like something one might see on an ipod, visitors can explore resizable images and video about topics such as water usage, agriculture, nature, people and industry.
