INTRODUCTION
How do you communicate the drama of pioneering spaceflight and put the audience in the shoes of those legendary astronauts? The US Astronaut Hall of Fame aimed to bring their heroic achievements to life using engaging storytelling and immersive multimedia experiences to recreate the danger and excitement of those awe-inspiring journeys. Electrosonic collaborated with designers Falcon’s Treehouse to develop and deploy audiovisual and interactive elements that would educate, engage and inspire visitors.
Space exploration has driven many technological advances so the audiovisual technology on display had to reach beyond traditional boundaries. The challenge was to integrate multi-sensory theater, hologram technology, interactive displays, special effects and augmented reality with stunning artifacts like a full-size MercuryRedstone rocket and a Gemini space capsule. This show was to be truly immersive with a 360 degree discovery bay and simulations of life inside a capsule and a space walk. That’s one giant leap for audiovisual technology.
