PERMANENT INSTALLATION

Frost Science Museum — The Dive

Three interactive installations inside The Dive — Frost Science’s 7,000-square-foot immersive aquatic gallery — including a six-screen 4K walkthrough built with Emmy Award–winning underwater cinematographer Frazier Nivens.

The Dive is one of Frost Science Museum’s most distinctive spaces — a 7,000-square-foot immersive gallery built around the Oculus lens, a cylindrical window into the Gulf Stream Aquarium where hammerhead sharks, mahi-mahi, and large groupers pass within feet of visitors. We built three interactive installations inside it.

Six-screen 4K immersive walkthrough

A six-screen 4K wall that turns a section of The Dive into a fully immersive underwater environment, produced with Frazier Nivens — the Emmy Award–winning underwater cinematographer whose work has appeared on Discovery’s Shark Week, Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, NBC, ABC, CBS, and the BBC. Frazier’s footage drives the walkthrough; we built the show-control system, the screen array, and the integration that lets the room behave as one continuous environment.

Touchscreen educational app with synchronized LED

A touchscreen interactive teaching reef biology and ocean systems, paired with physical LED lighting that responds to what the visitor touches. Selecting an organism or habitat on screen lights up the corresponding feature in the room — software and physical lighting designed and built as one system.

Walk-past Kinect-tracked installation

A motion-tracked installation that responds to visitors as they walk past. Body tracking drives the on-screen content — no controls to operate, the room simply reacts.
