Northland History Map

Interactive concept design and production for the Northland History Map installation at the Stone Store, Kerikeri, Northland.

The Northland History Map interactive was created as a digital storytelling component for the redesign of the Stone Store in Kerikeri by Locales. We worked closely with Locales to create an emmersive digital experience that allows users to navigate around a 3D map and discover accounts of the settling of this historic area. Each area of interest has an animated, narrated video piece which visually depicts the story.

The aesthetic of the interactive is sympathetic to the overall time period and store space. The screen is housed in a period-inspired cabinet with a tactile interaction control through a nautical themed brass wheel.
