Trieste museum exhibit

In partnership with Italian studio Interfase we built an interactive exhibit for the exhibition “Maria Teresa and Trieste” that allows visitors to discover the history of trading routes to the port of Trieste in north Italy.

Information about imports, exports and connections to the rest of the world are presented in an informative, engaging, physical way that feels magical.

Museum visitors picks up a jar containing a trade route product such as coffee, oil or soap and they activate interactive animations relating to that product. on a projection. This seamless interaction was achieved by using sophisticated technology that is completely hidden from the visitors yet works completely smoothly.
